Over 10 minutes, during a hastily thrown together press conference Thursday morning, Texas A&M football coach Jimbo Fisher responded to comments made by Nick Saban with a flamethrower, directly targeting the Alabama coach and squashing whatever you thought their relationship was.
Fisher was responding to Saban’s comments at a World Games event in Birmingham on Wednesday, when Saban said Texas A&M “bought every player on their team, made a deal for name, image and likeness. We didn’t buy one player.”
As reporters, we often ask for honesty from athletes and coaches.
