Nick Saban suggests Ohio State fans ‘get therapy’ for ‘psychotic obsession’ with Michigan

Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban, now a College GameDay commentator for ESPN, has clearly reached his limit with Ohio State fans and their over-the-top fixation on the Michigan rivalry.

Appearing on a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Saban — who’s transitioned comfortably into broadcasting after a legendary coaching career — didn’t hold back as he criticized what he sees as an unhealthy obsession that’s taken the rivalry to an extreme.

“You know, we’ve kind of gotten on their fans a little bit. But these Ohio State fans? They’ve got a psychotic obsession with Michigan and they need to go get therapy or something to try to get it fixed,” Saban said.
