Here's what Georgia coach Kirby Smart said about Alabama football coach Nick Saban at SEC Media Days 2024.
Saban, who’s now an analyst for ESPN, was stopped from entering because he didn’t have his credential on Monday.
“A couple words I want to say to Coach Saban, who meant so much to me in my career,” Smart said. “First of all, the words he shared at the ESPYs the other night were incredible. Very touching, very moving. What he’s meant to myself and my family as a mentor, as a friend, as a competitor that drives you to get better. There was never a day in 11 years I worked for him that we didn’t share a room in some sort. Whether that was the defensive room, the defensive back room, staff room.
