Okay, I take back what I said about the ref. That was a point of emphasis last year, and Coach Saban should know better.
I'm still confused on the call against Coach Saban.

Here is the ruling from the 2020 NCAA Football Rules Book regarding sideline interference. How did Coach Saban get tagged with unsportsmanlike conduct? It must have been for something other than sideline interference...first violation is a warning and 4th is team unsportsmanlike, not coach.

Game Administration and Sideline Interference
ARTICLE 5. While the ball is alive and during the continuing action after the
ball has been declared dead:
a. Coaches, substitutes and authorized attendants in the team area must be
behind the coaching line.

PENALTY—Administer as a dead-ball foul. First infraction: Warning for
sideline interference. No yardage penalty. [S15]
Second and third infractions: Delay of game for sideline
interference, five yards from the succeeding spot. [S21 and S29]
Fourth and subsequent infractions: Team unsportsmanlike
conduct for sideline interference, 15 yards from the succeeding
spot. Automatic first down for fouls by Team B if not in conflict
with other rules. [S27 and S29]

b. Physical interference with an official is a foul charged to the team for
unsportsmanlike conduct. (A.R. 9-2-5-I)

Just out of curiosity, what is going on with the ref in that photo? Not the one looking at Najee hurdle a ND player, but the one behind him. It looks like he's surprised or exasperated. "What do you want me to do to keep the game close when the talent gap is this large? I mean, look at what Najee is doing."
That's not a ref.

I would be stunned to learn that he had.
I note the source is not provided.

I have a t-shirt with a version of that on it. I was wearing it one day and happened to be in line at a local fast-food restaurant. The girl behind the counter noticed the shirt, paused to read it, tilted her head to the side, looked me square in the eyes, and asked, "Did he really say that?"
