Nick Saban vs. Jimbo Fisher: Why All the Drama?
At least we know the college football offseason won’t be boring this year, especially not in the SEC.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban, just call him GOAT for short, made headlines earlier this week, for all the wrong reasons, as he stated that Texas A&M had “bought every player on their team”, on their way to having the top-ranked recruiting class this year.
Here‘s the clip, for those of you who haven’t seen it yet.

Now let’s be clear, he’s not wrong, but you can’t word it like that. In the new landscape of college athletics and NIL deals allowing student athletes to get paid, there’s no question that universities with the deepest pockets are going to get the top athletes.
And Texas A&M is absolutely one of the beneficiaries.
Obviously, A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher had to clap back at his former boss, and he did so in a major way. Included in his response was him calling the Crimson Tide head coach “a narcissist,“ and the line, “Some people think they’re god..” followed by more filler about how gods do their deals and digging into their past.
He then went on, saying, “We build him up to be the czar of college football.”
