Alabama hasn’t been safe from the occasional Steve Spurrier jab over the years. But Spurrier still respects the Tide – and coach Nick Saban – all the same.
Speaking at the Regions Tradition pro-am golf tournament in Birmingham on Wednesday, Spurrier said as much when meeting with reporters on the course at the event.
“No, we always got along well,” Spurrier said of his relationship with Saban. “We always got along very well.”
Spurrier later appeared on the “Paul Finebaum Show” at the event, where he said the 64-year-old Saban has the ability to remain as a strong coach for years to come.
