Paul Finebaum was ‘shocked’ Nick Saban called out Jimbo Fisher 😬 | First Take

Paul Finebaum and the First Take crew discuss Nick Saban’s comments on Deion Sanders and Jimbo Fisher “buying” his athletes.

Hard to see how a school who might sign 8-9, 5*s in a 10-15 year period signs 8-9 in ONE class?
There's a good stinch coming from that wood pile called a "mediocre record"?

[macnificent]

Nick is gonna have a heart attack when Texas and their money get in the fold too😂. UT and A&M have A LOT of money

[louisianimal]

Nick you expect us to believe y’all DON’T buy players? LOL

[johnnybgoode]

Can’t stand tamu, but don’t believe for a second that Bama didn’t have bag men.

[khunkhao]

A&M per say didn't buy their players but their collective sure did!

[willyfitzgerald]

If he is the coach they said he is he shouldn’t worry about getting players

[cadensmith]

y’all act like bryce young didn’t have the biggest NIL deal in history last year. yet a&m is paying their players, lol

[Mystery_Man]

I’m glad he mentioned Miami at the end 😂.

[rob]

Two guys that both have dirt on each other who are now snitching on each other now that cheating is legal

[danem.]

Paul seems pretty apologist for Saban. He knows its more profitable to stay on the good side of these Alabama dorks.

[Enfield]

Bryce Young actually legit got 1 million dollars as soon as it was legal the hypocrisy is insane

[scottfoster]

As a Bama fan let me just say....buy us some too lol. We used to buy people back when we weren't supposed to all the time lol

[SauceK]

Saban probably put ankle monitors on every 5 star recruit that leaves the campus. And when they escaped the campus, Saban buys more 5 stars. Why u think his players have nice cars and cameros and mustangs or corvettes. All the money come from those championships

[koalakoala]

We need to build those HBCU colleagues. I would love to see NFL great like Ray Lewis, Jerry Rice etc.. become coaches at Jackson State.

[mikeloggins]

Jimbo said A & M would beat Alabama last year. And they did.

[blackwind]

Desperation is real...Bama lock on top recruits is now on a even playing. Teams that aren't winning ie TX, A&M, USC, and etc have huge resources...Teams like Bama freaking out because he lost control

[ghnfyhj]

Saban said what he said BECAUSE he knows his time of supremacy is almost up. I give him 2-3 more years. Thank God. Now we can see other teams win.

[jallenwatson]

Wouldn't be hard to find out where Alabama players parents got those fancy cars and houses should A&M open an investigation.

[bbm]

why was he shocked? this is what saban does when things don't go his way. Like a few years ago when he was losing to up tempo, spread offenses...he came out and said those offenses should be banned because they're unsafe...clown

[tmoney]

This is a slippery slope... I believe college athletes should be compensated, but I also believe it should be regulated. If not, this will only leave the smaller schools so far behind that there will never be any parity in college football. Which to be clear, before NIL money, small schools could barely keep up with the the major power 5's anyway. Now with unregulated NIL money that divide will grow immensely.
