tell me where he said they cheated? he literally said “they made a deal for name image and likeness” which is literally allowed at this point… it’s more of a take on the state of college football than it is a point of him missing out on recruits.

Apparently people that live in California or Texas, or NY, Florida or wherever fun city they grew up in, are crazy to move to Alabama as soon as they get out of H.S.
Amateurism hasn’t existed in college football in decades. Saban deserves every bit of criticism that gets shoveled his way. Talk to Auburn alumnus if you have any doubts about money exchanging hands in Alabama.
Consider the audience, Saban was just trying to tell his boosters that they have to up thier game to compete with A&M. Who bought thier recruiting class, legally as the rules are now.
This wasn't a random time. Saban was talking to boosters so that he can get more money. In my mind it was a "give us more money and we can recruit better" totally calculated by Saban. Where he went wrong was attacking Jimbo.
Imagine having a top 3 recruiting class every single year the last 10 years, winning 4 titles in the span, but then having the audacity to call someone else out as BUYING players. Very hilarious
Dawg, Saban has moved families to Bama! You think with all this top level talent he’s coached, even before NIL, that they weren’t getting benefits? Dudes driving Hellcats before NIL. Stop it. Schools like Jackson State has a chance to level the playing field with NIL and even then, it’s not even with the gap of resources that still exist
I’m a born and bred, die hard ‘Bama fan and I’ve rooted for Bama since I was a kid watching the games with my dad. I’ve also believed that Saban wasn’t the upstanding guy he pretends to be. Him going at Jackson St. was as low as you can go. I hope he publicly apologizes.

Idk about that bro, Saban said that Alabama players have made 1.6 billion dollars in the NFL since 2010, I think a lot of people go there to play in prime time and get paid in the NFL. Not saying they aren't getting paid to go there, but I think some players go there with NFL aspirations too
@Lakers These recruits could go anywhere and still make it to the NFL. Regardless if it’s an SEC school or not. Case and point the schools that have produced the most H.O.F players are Notredame, Ohio St, Michigan and USC. Neither one of those are SEC schools. Heck Bryce Young is from Los Angeles and Could’ve stayed home and still get drafted top 5. Theres a lot of LA kids on their roster now. And Bama is “racially divided” b/c I live in the south too… in fact I live in Huntsville Alabama so I think I would know!!

@@factsoverfear9771 Nick Saban. Hes been on record supporting it for months, its supposed to be in good faith is all, which it absolutely isnt right now. Casual fans should leave the nuance of the sport to those with an open enough mind to think critically about these things and how they shape our sport.
Nick Saban did that on purpose so he could rile up his boosters. It's why he mentioned Jackson State. What better way to get your boosters on board and to shell out more money, call out your rival and call out a school that forces the boosters to turn on the "not on my watch" mentality. Saban did the same thing about the spread offense. He complained about it until he had the resources in place to pull it off and I am sure that required some loose interpretations of the rules as well as hiring what most would consider a sleazy assistant coach.
indeed. Kiffin was a sleazy/entitled coach, but he could coach and develop players. He changed the type of players that Alabama recruited on offense. They got fast because of Kiffin.
Saban knew exactly what he was doing. He was talking to a room full of rich business owners and essentially telling them that if they don’t start filling the coffers and get their collective going then Alabama won’t be able to keep up. This was nothing more than a fundraiser. Those rich business owners left there thinking well if A&M can do it we can do it.
Coming from a coach who gets paid millions from coaching kids that scholarships aren't guaranteed while the schools making billions from tv deals to merchandising from poor kids who attend these universities if injured are just thrown aside no more scholarships he can leave and get paid millions more from another school
I will say that if you get hurt, Alabama will still allow you to graduate. It might not be an athletic scholarship, but you can at least get your degree. They take care of their own as well as anyone in the country. If you play ball well at Alabama, you can get a good job anywhere in Alabama.
They all do it and now the rules allow it. At the end of the day, the players are better off but it does complicate a lot on the recruiting side and the coaching side.
Saban with the plantation owner mentality. I for one appreciate the fact that he's being exposed for the person he truly is. These programs, networks, schools and coaches have all enriched themselves off these kids, most of whom never make it to the NFL. The NIL rules are evening the playing field while making sure that these young men are compensated for their talents.
Nick saban has done more for black families than deion or most blacks have ever done for other blacks. Saban is warning about the damage this can do to college sports. He knew exactly what he was doing when he spoke on this
@@jasonmansell5469 Yeah, because Nick Saban recruited black players to help out their families, and not because of their talent and what they can do for him on the field. Nick Saban has been doing what’s in his best interest, which is completely fine. Just stop painting this picture as if he has been helping black families. By default, all coaches who recruit these kids and give them scholarships are helping their families, black or white.
I dont think he was too upset about it when he was winning the SEC. Its funny when all you have is one win to hold over somebody but no accomplishments
@@1411wes it's all about updating the resume and the last thing on it effects the conversation. Idc if u had 3 different jobs for 5 years each. I wanna know why did they fired you at the last one lol
@@dblack9704 Saban’s success developing five-stars compared to the rest of the country is proof. 247Sports examined every draft-eligible 247Sports Composite five-star from 2008 - Saban’s first full recruiting class, which frankly kicked off a new era of recruiting in college football - until the present in an attempt to measure the programs that develop those prospects best. Alabama has signed 41 draft-eligible five-stars since 2008. Those players were picked in the first-round of the NFL Draft at a 48.8% clip. The other 285 five-stars who didn’t sign with Alabama? They were selected in the first-round at an 18.3% rate. You read that correctly: A five-star who picks Alabama in the Saban era is more than doubly likely on average to be a first-round pick compared to college football as a whole. It doesn’t stop there. Alabama five-stars have been drafted 75.6% of the time since 2008. Every other draft-eligible five-star in that window was picked at a 63.1% rate. That’s a staggering gap in development. And it remains the case if you apply 247Sports’ Development Rating formula, which filters out players who were dismissed or transferred after two or fewer years on campus. Remove those players from the equation and 52.6% of the Crimson Tide’s five-stars have been drafted in the 1st round compared to 20.7% nationally.
@@1411wes none of that helped him last year. He's had a amazing career and a great staff with a exceptional program. And now it looks like not all of the top recruits want to go to Alabama.
Since there are over 40+ HOFs from HBCUs and all are Super bowl Champions proves that talent comes from the media undesired HBCU level... When half of the HS Top 200 go to HBCUs.. it's going to be off the chain ⛓️
Now that Emmert is stepping down Saban knows his days are numbered without his buddy protecting him and Bama. Emmert even met on LSU's behalf with the NCAA, which accepted LSU's findings. But after Emmert decided to leave LSU in 2004, a witness testified in a deposition that the instructor was telling the truth and that the problems were far more systemic than the school admitted, even extending to grades being changed for football players, according to court records. The culture was "appalling" and "like Romper Room," the employee said in 2004 testimony. Alabama will be forced to vacate 21 football victories that came under the watch of former coach Mike Shula and current coach Nick Saban, the university said in a release. The football program, which will not lose future scholarships, and the other 15 teams have been put on three years' probation -- the third probation penalty for university athletics in the past decade. Alabama also was ordered to pay a $43,900 fine.
True, people forget that Paul Bryant Jr had UAB's program shut down, its amazing how some states legislature bend over backwards for their football programs. I think Huey Long was infamous for this back in the 30's
USC didn't pay Reggie Bush or had any involvement in Bush getting $$... An independent sports agent funded Bush in hopes of Bush signing with them when he turned pro.. That automatically made him ineligible...
Alabama had good years in the past but the new rules will make it hard for them win. College football 🏈 is changing for the better. Small teams can now leverage more.
@@jeremyn6825 First of all, there's never a "promise" of getting drafted. That's never guaranteed and can't be controlled by the coach regardless. But yes, the record that Alabama has developing players in unmatched and gives elite players a great chance of being drafted. Why would that not be a recruitment tool? I can't understand what is wrong with that morally or legally or any other way? I don't get what you're saying at all.
@@DaDankStrafe Then you don't get recruitment. Saban said he's never paid a player to play for him. I call bs. Maybe not him directly but I guarantee you indirectly he has so this notion of him being the GOAT of College football is a joke. Like Belicheat, I'm sure he's cheated the system also.
@@jeremyn6825 Sooo... what does this have to do whatsoever with your initial comment about luring players with the promise of making it to the NFL? That is entirely different from what you're saying now that he's paying players.
Fisher's comments were not pointed. Both Saban and Fisher made accusations without providing specific comments or evidence. Provide specifics not make general unspecified comments.
Jimbo…as a long time FSU fan save the semantics about ethics lol. Also, Saban, despite being a tad petty, said A&M bought players under NIL…which is perfectly legal. He didn’t say they cheated or did something outside the system. Why don’t they simply say they are trying to get more eyes on SEC football lol….now In reference to Jackson State…saban needs to recant, apologize and get better intel. The deal was “rumored” via Bar Stool Sports but was never done…
Jimbo and the word ethics go together like oil and water. A&M fans who stand behind him,don't know their coach very well. He's a POS and he proved that at FSU.
Saban should’ve kept quiet in the name dropping but does no one find it weird that Texas A&M recently became a number one recruiting class.. that takes time not just a good year of recruiting.
My college team was playing Florida St. In a regional baseball game, as the anoucer informed the audience Florida State had not 1 but 2 players picked in the first round that apparently forgoed first round money to return to school to finnish their physical education degree.?
For any HBCU to give or agree to have a million for one player just sounds absolutely ridiculous. I don't think there's one HBCU that has a million dollar budget at all. It just doesn't make sense considering Deion and Saban has done commercials together it came across as petty and extremely arrogant on Saban's part. It was dismissive of JSU and Coach Prime and the fact that maybe some black players want to have an HBCU experience and play football.
Yeah man, Prime has trouble even paying to bus kids to football games let alone drop bags on recruits. These allegations by Saban are wild, maybe he mispoke at some point
@@rg7656 is doesn't matter, it's not smart business wise to give one player a million and other players none. It's just not fiscally wise especially if the money comes from somewhere else.
@@williamphillips3035 I agree but I was just addressing the incorrect statement that you said. Not here to argue the ethics of it. I am a JSU alumn. Ran track for them in the mid 90's so I am a fan but let's just make sure we use facts when discussing it or we are no better than Nick Saban talking about something that he heard and not sure of.
Ain't nothing like being on a HBCU(N C A&T) campus with the finest, sexiest sistas alive!!! Good gracious... The PWI experience will never compare to an HBCU...
Saban was Bought by Alabama when he was thinking about going to texas. The university plaid for his house and everything he wanted. Saba is basically saying if a School came to him with 50 million a year to coach that he wouldn't take it and he would be lying.
It’s not just him. Many successful college coaches have this egotistic and arrogant persona. They are bullies. Pitino was the same way at Louisville and look at how that ended up for him. Saban is going to have his day down the line
The problem is that saban will and always does pivot. His initial teams were strong defensively and attacked with the run. Then when CFB became a score fest he just went crazy putting out Julio, Jeudy, Ruggs, Smith, Waddle, Metchie etc . . . And then he pivoted by getting Jameson out of the transfer portal because players will want to transfer to Alabama just like players will leave Alabama. Saban thrives because of his ability to adapt.
So all of a sudden NIL is implemented and AM gets the best recruiting class of all time.. yeah that’s not a coincidence.. saban is right nobody just wants to hear it.
Oh Saban was all for JSU, 4-6 months ago, but he changed his tune so quickly.. Since when does African American athletes owe Alabama anything? It's like NE crying about free agency in the NFL

I will say that if you get hurt, Alabama will still allow you to graduate. It might not be an athletic scholarship, but you can at least get your degree. They take care of their own as well as anyone in the country. If you play ball well at Alabama, you can get a good job anywhere in Alabama.
Fisher wants that fade from Ol’ Saban omm! 🤣😂🤣😂💀
"I'm white, and I say so",
Nick Saban.
Nick Saban is exactly who we think he is!! That's why he didn't make it in the NFL
yea it ain’t like he’s the best college coach of all time
@@kellzfrmdatune398 what does college have to do with the NFL?
You tell em’ Jimbo!
Nick Saban sounds like a 🤡
They all do it and now the rules allow it. At the end of the day, the players are better off but it does complicate a lot on the recruiting side and the coaching side.
Shots fired!
Saban with the plantation owner mentality. I for one appreciate the fact that he's being exposed for the person he truly is. These programs, networks, schools and coaches have all enriched themselves off these kids, most of whom never make it to the NFL. The NIL rules are evening the playing field while making sure that these young men are compensated for their talents.
Nick saban has done more for black families than deion or most blacks have ever done for other blacks. Saban is warning about the damage this can do to college sports. He knew exactly what he was doing when he spoke on this
@@jasonmansell5469 Yeah, because Nick Saban recruited black players to help out their families, and not because of their talent and what they can do for him on the field.
Nick Saban has been doing what’s in his best interest, which is completely fine. Just stop painting this picture as if he has been helping black families. By default, all coaches who recruit these kids and give them scholarships are helping their families, black or white.
Stanley Fontaine full ride scholarships isn’t helping family’s out ?
@@kellzfrmdatune398 no it's not the kids earn that scholarship because of their talent. It wasn't given to them they earned it
D Black uhhhh ik plenty of kids that are talented and deserve scholarships that don’t
He said go talk to anyone who coached for him. Bro, you coached for him!
Saban has been buying recruits since he's been at Alabama. He still mad about losing to A&M's 3rd string quarterback last season. 😆😅
I dont think he was too upset about it when he was winning the SEC. Its funny when all you have is one win to hold over somebody but no accomplishments
@@1411wes Saban is a cheat just like the rest of them. he should keep his mouth shut about other programs
@@1411wes it's all about updating the resume and the last thing on it effects the conversation. Idc if u had 3 different jobs for 5 years each. I wanna know why did they fired you at the last one lol
@@dblack9704 Saban’s success developing five-stars compared to the rest of the country is proof. 247Sports examined every draft-eligible 247Sports Composite five-star from 2008 - Saban’s first full recruiting class, which frankly kicked off a new era of recruiting in college football - until the present in an attempt to measure the programs that develop those prospects best.
Alabama has signed 41 draft-eligible five-stars since 2008. Those players were picked in the first-round of the NFL Draft at a 48.8% clip. The other 285 five-stars who didn’t sign with Alabama? They were selected in the first-round at an 18.3% rate. You read that correctly: A five-star who picks Alabama in the Saban era is more than doubly likely on average to be a first-round pick compared to college football as a whole.
It doesn’t stop there. Alabama five-stars have been drafted 75.6% of the time since 2008. Every other draft-eligible five-star in that window was picked at a 63.1% rate.
That’s a staggering gap in development. And it remains the case if you apply 247Sports’ Development Rating formula, which filters out players who were dismissed or transferred after two or fewer years on campus. Remove those players from the equation and 52.6% of the Crimson Tide’s five-stars have been drafted in the 1st round compared to 20.7% nationally.
@@1411wes none of that helped him last year. He's had a amazing career and a great staff with a exceptional program. And now it looks like not all of the top recruits want to go to Alabama.
Since there are over 40+ HOFs from HBCUs and all are Super bowl Champions proves that talent comes from the media undesired HBCU level... When half of the HS Top 200 go to HBCUs.. it's going to be off the chain ⛓️
Now that Emmert is stepping down Saban knows his days are numbered without his buddy protecting him and Bama.
Emmert even met on LSU's behalf with the NCAA, which accepted LSU's findings. But after Emmert decided to leave LSU in 2004, a witness testified in a deposition that the instructor was telling the truth and that the problems were far more systemic than the school admitted, even extending to grades being changed for football players, according to court records.
The culture was "appalling" and "like Romper Room," the employee said in 2004 testimony.
Alabama will be forced to vacate 21 football victories that came under the watch of former coach Mike Shula and current coach Nick Saban, the university said in a release.
The football program, which will not lose future scholarships, and the other 15 teams have been put on three years' probation -- the third probation penalty for university athletics in the past decade. Alabama also was ordered to pay a $43,900 fine.
The Pot that called the T Kettle shall I continue 😢😢😭
Just want to point out... YOU coached for Saban, Jimbo! Spill that tea, bruh!!!
Saban's remarks may cause others to start digging into Bama"s past since his arrival & U just know there are many skeletons in his closet....
Pretty much, thats why Jimbo said what he said.
True, people forget that Paul Bryant Jr had UAB's program shut down, its amazing how some states legislature bend over backwards for their football programs. I think Huey Long was infamous for this back in the 30's
I'm hoping for real reporting to shut up "Savior" Saban and his whiny attitude lol
Telltale Heart
USC didn't pay Reggie Bush or had any involvement in Bush getting $$... An independent sports agent funded Bush in hopes of Bush signing with them when he turned pro.. That automatically made him ineligible...
Alabama had good years in the past but the new rules will make it hard for them win. College football 🏈 is changing for the better. Small teams can now leverage more.
The audacity of Nick Saban ..
Come for him JIMBO
Talking about burning bridges, Nicky can't leave quick enough
Saban never lured a player with the promise of being drafted? Saban is a joke.
What does this even mean? Lmao
@@DaDankStrafe You need it spelled out for you?
@@jeremyn6825 First of all, there's never a "promise" of getting drafted. That's never guaranteed and can't be controlled by the coach regardless. But yes, the record that Alabama has developing players in unmatched and gives elite players a great chance of being drafted. Why would that not be a recruitment tool? I can't understand what is wrong with that morally or legally or any other way? I don't get what you're saying at all.
@@DaDankStrafe Then you don't get recruitment. Saban said he's never paid a player to play for him. I call bs. Maybe not him directly but I guarantee you indirectly he has so this notion of him being the GOAT of College football is a joke. Like Belicheat, I'm sure he's cheated the system also.
@@jeremyn6825 Sooo... what does this have to do whatsoever with your initial comment about luring players with the promise of making it to the NFL? That is entirely different from what you're saying now that he's paying players.
Jimbo : I GOT TIME TODAY CUZZ !
It clearly is another brady bout to come in the league 🤣 and he couldn’t get em
No more Aflac commercials for those two 😂
And to think, these 2 are the best of friends.
The next game between Alabama and Texas A&M is going to be intense. Must see tv!!!
Go Jimbo 👍
saban has alot of nerve opening his mouth about that
Fisher's comments were not pointed. Both Saban and Fisher made accusations without providing specific comments or evidence. Provide specifics not make general unspecified comments.
Jimbo…as a long time FSU fan save the semantics about ethics lol. Also, Saban, despite being a tad petty, said A&M bought players under NIL…which is perfectly legal. He didn’t say they cheated or did something outside the system. Why don’t they simply say they are trying to get more eyes on SEC football lol….now In reference to Jackson State…saban needs to recant, apologize and get better intel. The deal was “rumored” via Bar Stool Sports but was never done…
Jimbo and the word ethics go together like oil and water. A&M fans who stand behind him,don't know their coach very well. He's a POS and he proved that at FSU.
The SEC needs to fine Saban they fine coaches for comments about refs bur Saban can attack another team with no proof
It was in the papers though
Alabama putting 50 on A&M lol
Saban should’ve kept quiet in the name dropping but does no one find it weird that Texas A&M recently became a number one recruiting class.. that takes time not just a good year of recruiting.
Has anyone noticed that ESPN, FS1 & other sports broadcasts refer to College/University programs as organizations? Don’t organizations pay employees
My college team was playing Florida St. In a regional baseball game, as the anoucer informed the audience Florida State had not 1 but 2 players picked in the first round that apparently forgoed first round money to return to school to finnish their physical education degree.?
I loved Finebaum's statement on Get Up about the NCAA rules not matter and it being the wild west lol
I’m a UNC fan but I rock with Jay Will
From now on I love JW.
Thank you Jay Williams 🙏🏽
Nick Saban is Urban Myer. He just hasn’t been exposed yet.
For any HBCU to give or agree to have a million for one player just sounds absolutely ridiculous. I don't think there's one HBCU that has a million dollar budget at all. It just doesn't make sense considering Deion and Saban has done commercials together it came across as petty and extremely arrogant on Saban's part. It was dismissive of JSU and Coach Prime and the fact that maybe some black players want to have an HBCU experience and play football.
Yeah man, Prime has trouble even paying to bus kids to football games let alone drop bags on recruits. These allegations by Saban are wild, maybe he mispoke at some point
The money doesn't come from the School.
@@rg7656 is doesn't matter, it's not smart business wise to give one player a million and other players none. It's just not fiscally wise especially if the money comes from somewhere else.
@@williamphillips3035 I agree but I was just addressing the incorrect statement that you said. Not here to argue the ethics of it. I am a JSU alumn. Ran track for them in the mid 90's so I am a fan but let's just make sure we use facts when discussing it or we are no better than Nick Saban talking about something that he heard and not sure of.
Ain't nothing like being on a HBCU(N C A&T) campus with the finest, sexiest sistas alive!!! Good gracious... The PWI experience will never compare to an HBCU...
The implication that bama is the only program not using NIL is ridiculous.
Saban was Bought by Alabama when he was thinking about going to texas. The university plaid for his house and everything he wanted. Saba is basically saying if a School came to him with 50 million a year to coach that he wouldn't take it and he would be lying.
😂 he snapped
Nick saban has won SEVEN championships yet felt the need to put down other organizations bc he's not getting his way. Get over yourself grow up Saban
It’s not just him. Many successful college coaches have this egotistic and arrogant persona. They are bullies. Pitino was the same way at Louisville and look at how that ended up for him. Saban is going to have his day down the line
@@Druhhhhh9905 absolutely true
I CAN'T WAIT for them to play in November
He is saying these “ KIDS “ are doing a great job without COMPENSATION.
Thank you for speaking the truth.
Lol they about to unravel the corruption of how they get these top players
Gettem Jimbo...its not below him for doing it...he just exposed himself...
I'd love to hear what SA has to say about this
ESPN why cut the JSU/HBCU comment - SALUTE JAY WILLIAMS
The problem is that saban will and always does pivot. His initial teams were strong defensively and attacked with the run. Then when CFB became a score fest he just went crazy putting out Julio, Jeudy, Ruggs, Smith, Waddle, Metchie etc . . . And then he pivoted by getting Jameson out of the transfer portal because players will want to transfer to Alabama just like players will leave Alabama. Saban thrives because of his ability to adapt.
I seen it in the Aflac commercials. I'm always trippin tho. Lol
So all of a sudden NIL is implemented and AM gets the best recruiting class of all time.. yeah that’s not a coincidence.. saban is right nobody just wants to hear it.
How does this not scream defamation lawsuit
A&M can sue Saban for slander, they need to. Saban has been buying players for decades and now that it's legal his scam is over and he's pissed.
absolutely like that’s was out of line he definitely didn’t even have to bring names into it. He’s suppose to be the example
Irritating that now people are continuously calling these schools organizations.
Thank you JWill for not skating past the fact that he LIED!!!
To quote Daffy Duck, "You're despicable!"
I was like... who is the new bald guy on the show with J will???
Oh Saban was all for JSU, 4-6 months ago, but he changed his tune so quickly..
Since when does African American athletes owe Alabama anything? It's like NE crying about free agency in the NFL
