Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden has been all over the SEC the last year, and he made a trip to The Plains this past weekend to take in an electric crowd at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Though the Auburn Tigers were not able to clinch a win, Gruden did get a personal victory when he had the pleasure of experiencing one of the most iconic grub stops in Auburn — Momma Goldberg’s deli.

In a hilarious social media clip, Gruden shared a video of an order of ‘Momma’s Nachos’ — Doritos with pepper jack cheese and jalapeños — being brought to him.

“No wonder they’ve been serving these since 1983,” Gruden said with a smile once he tried a bite before finishing things off with a hearty ‘War Eagle!’

Gruden clearly had a big day, also sharing video of him getting the chance to tour the Sigma Nu fraternity on game day.

He even got the chance to watch the flyover at the start of the game from field level, getting to experience Jordan-Hare at its absolute best.

“If you don’t love football you’re missin’ something,” Gruden said.
