Steve Spurrier jumps into Jimbo Fisher-Nick Saban fracas over NIL deals
Oct 12, 2019; College Station, TX, USA; Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban and Texas A&M Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher shake hands at the conclusion of the gam at Kyle Field. As you know, Saban more or less accused Fisher of cheating.
Saban being the coach at Alabama and Fisher at Texas A&M made things, well, awkward. Especially after Fisher fired back. But Spurrier, the former coach at Florida and South Carolina, said he doesn’t understand why Fisher was so upset.."Since beat him last year, I guess he can talk now. He hasn’t beat much of anybody, but he beat Saban last year. But they haven’t won the division or anything since he’s been there." Head coach Nick Saban of the Alabama Crimson Tide speaks with head coach Jimbo Fisher of the Florida State Seminoles prior to their game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on September 2, 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia."I’m here to say they’re the best, not because they win the most — of course, that’s part of it too — but they do it the right way," Spurrier told AL.com."They play hard. They play clean. They don’t try to hurt their opponents. They don’t give the interception chains. South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Steve Spurrier directs his team against the Georgia Bulldogs in the first quarter at Williams-Brice Stadium. "They don’t do all that other stuff that other teams like to do now, it seems like. But they play the game the way it should be played. If you beat them, you have to earn it. And that’s the way it should be."
