Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher, who have worked together and previously identified as good friends, have thrown some serious public haymakers at each other this week.
Saban started the spat earlier this weeks with some comments about Texas A&M “buying” their entire recruiting class with NIL deals.
Check out Saban’s comments, which also include a serious jab at Deion Sanders:

Fisher absolutely came off the top rope on Saban in a press conference this afternoon:
Texas A&M HC Jimbo Fisher just fired back at Nick Saban for saying they “bought” recruits.
Fisher calls Saban a “narcissist” and says he won’t take his call.

Ouch. Shots fired.
Sanders also responded:
“I haven’t talked to Coach Saban. I’m sure he’s tried to call. We need to talk publicly — not privately. What you said was public. That doesn’t require a conversation. Let’s talk publicly and let everybody hear the conversation,” Sanders told Andscape on Thursday.
“You can’t do that publicly and call privately. No, no, no. I still love him. I admire him. I respect him. He’s the magna cum laude of college football and that’s what it’s going to be because he’s earned that.
“But he took a left when he should’ve stayed right. I’m sure he’ll get back on course. I ain’t tripping.”
