Deion Sanders Blasts Alabama Coach For Saying Jackson State Paid Top Recruit $1 Million
The Texas A&M Aggies head coach, Jimbo Fisher, responded with insults, defenses and return accusations.
Fisher held a press conference calling Saban a “narcissist” and his accusations untrue and despicable on Thursday.
“It’s despicable that someone can say something about someone and more importantly 17-year-old kids, taking shots at 17-year-old kids and their families, that they broke state laws, that we bought every player in this group,” Fisher said. “We didn’t buy anybody.”
Fisher said that it is despicable that a head coach would come out with these accusations.
“It’s despicable that a reputable head coach can come out and say this when he doesn’t get his way,” Fisher said. “The narcissist in him doesn’t allow those things to happen. It’s ridiculous when he’s not on top.”
During his press conference, Fisher implied that Saban had run unethical programs for decades and had seemingly violated NCAA rules en route to winning seven national championships.
“Some people think they’re God,” Fisher said. “Go dig into how God did his deal. You may find out … a lot of things you don’t want to know. We build him up to be the czar of football. Go dig into his past, or anybody’s that’s ever coached with him. You can find out anything you want to find out, what he does and how he does it. It’s despicable.”
