While speaking to reporters at SEC spring meetings in Destin, Fla. Tuesday, Georgia coach Kirby Smart addressed the ongoing feud between Alabama coach Nick Saban and Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher. In Smart’s eyes, their feud is pretty tame compared to what gets said in private among coaches.
“You guys should be on the headphones [on the field] sometime,” Smart said, according to AL.com. “You would think that was Mickey Mouse. It just so happened in front of everybody. It’s just not something I’d prefer to comment on, to be honest with you.”
The feud started May 19 when Saban alleged the Aggies got the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class by paying players through their use of NIL partnerships. After Saban’s initial comments, Fisher called a press conference to respond and ripped the seven-time national champion. He called Saban a “narcissist” and insinuated that Saban has not followed NCAA rules in the past in a scathing monologue.
