Good Friday morning, Crimson Tide fans! Welcome back to another edition of Alabama Morning Drive as we bring you the latest news and notes involving the Alabama Crimson Tide each weekday morning.
Wow! The last 24-36 hours have been completely crazy. The feud between [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and [autotag]Jimbo Fisher[/autotag] has taken center stage when it comes to news involving college athletics.
By now, I am sure you have heard the remarks from coach Saban regarding Texas A&M’s use of NIL as well as Fisher’s emotional response.
To quickly recap, on Wednesday night while speaking to some of the states of Alabama’s wealthiest, Alabama head coach Nick Saban voiced his concerns on the current nature of college athletics, especially when it comes to NIL. Saban said Texas A&M bought its 2022 recruiting class which finished as the top class in the country.
First thing Thursday morning, Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher, a former Saban assistant, held an emotion-filled press conference and completely shredded his former boss. Fisher repeatedly called Saban and his comments despicable and that people should dig into Saban’s past instead of thinking he is “God.”
Truth be told it is completely ridiculous the entire situation has occurred, and I want to list five reasons this feud between SEC West foes should be resolved as quickly as possible.
