Alabama Crimson’s Head Coach Breaks Silence on Ferrari Debt Rumors: “It’s None of Your Damn Business—But It’s Paid Off!”

Alabama Crimson’s Head Coach Breaks Silence on Ferrari Debt Rumors: “It’s None of Your Damn Business—But It’s Paid Off!”

 

Tuscaloosa, AL — June 5, 2025

 

In a fiery and unexpected moment during Tuesday’s post-practice press conference, Alabama Crimson Tide head football coach Coleman Reeves finally addressed the swirling rumors surrounding his recent Ferrari purchase and alleged debt — and he didn’t hold back.

 

The speculation began earlier this spring when Reeves, 47, was spotted arriving at the team’s training facility in a red Ferrari 812 Superfast, a vehicle with a sticker price north of $400,000. Social media sleuths quickly ignited rumors that the coach had either financed the exotic ride through questionable means or was facing mounting personal debt. Some critics even claimed the flashy car was a “midlife crisis on wheels,” given Alabama’s rocky 8–4 season last year.

 

But Reeves came out swinging.

 

> “Let me make something crystal clear,” he said, clearly agitated after being asked about the car for the third time in a week. “I’ve worked my ass off for 25 years in this sport. If I want to drive a Ferrari, I will — and if you’re wondering whether I paid for it, I did. In full. No loans. No debt. Just success.”

 

 

 

He punctuated his statement with a glare at reporters and a line that instantly went viral:

 

> “It’s none of your damn business — but it’s paid off!”

 

 

 

While some fans applauded his blunt honesty, others questioned whether the coach’s priorities were in the right place amid a critical rebuilding year for the Crimson Tide. Reeves is under intense pressure to deliver results after missing the College Football Playoff for two consecutive seasons — a rarity for the powerhouse program.

 

Alabama athletic director Mark Jensen released a brief statement hours after the press conference:

 

> “Coach Reeves’s personal purchases are his own matter. We stand behind him as he leads our student-athletes on and off the field.”

 

 

 

Still, the buzz around “FerrariGate” hasn’t died down. Sports radio lit up Wednesday morning with mixed reactions, with some callers praising Reeves’s transparency, while others slammed him for being tone-deaf.

 

Meanwhile, the Ferrari in question remains parked outside the Crimson Tide facility, reportedly with a new custom license plate that reads: “PDNFULL.”

 

Whether Reeves’s bold statement silences the rumors or fuels new ones, one thing is certain — he’s not just driving fast on the road, but now, squarely in the media spotlight.
