Jimbo Fisher Jokes About Nick Saban, Alabama: Texas A&M's 'Going to Beat His Ass'

The only thing that kept Texas A&M out of the College Football Playoff last season was a blowout loss to Alabama, and it is clear, even in jest, that head coach Jimbo Fisher knows the Aggies will have to get past the Crimson Tide to accomplish their goals.

"We're going to beat his ass when he's there, don't worry," he joked to the crowd at the Houston Touchdown Club on Wednesday when talking about Nick Saban, per the Houston Chronicle (h/t Alex Scarborough of ESPN).

Scarborough noted Fisher also made a point of saying how much he respects the college football legend, whom he worked for at LSU from 2000-04.
