Fisher likes being the bad boy, Finebaum said. He relishes it. It appears he is playing the role well.
“Jimbo Fisher called his shot a year ago,” Finebaum said. “He delivered. He beat Saban.
“But what I heard from Jimbo Fisher publicly, I’ve heard from Saban assistants in the past, but never for attribution. That’s really the stunning part of this that someone would put on the record these allegations against Nick Saban. These aren’t things that get scraped away.”
“I don’t see how anyone who is objective can come off here thinking Nick Saban has fared well in the last 24 hours,” Finebaum said. “How do you declare the winner? I don’t think you can.
Ultimately, that moves to the football field. Anyone that thinks Nick Saban walked out of this fight without blood all over him is sadly mistaken.”
