Jimbo Fisher is all done discussing his offseason feud with Nick Saban.
The two head coaches famously clashed back in the spring when Saban implied that Fisher and Texas A&M had bought its top-ranked recruiting class through NIL money which sent Fisher into a fury calling an impromptu press conference and disparaging Saban as a coach while calling him a “narcissist” amongst other things.
In the following months, both coaches cooled and continued to move on from the spat.
Fisher himself is ready to have the incident behind him, but it won’t be until after the upcoming game between Alabama and Texas A&M on Oct. 8 before their feud is completely out of the public eye. Fisher himself is ready for the game to be the main topic of discussion.
“We’re talented and have established that we can start stacking a huge number of the right guys in our program,” Fisher said to ESPN on Friday. “We’ve still got great challenges this year. We gotta go prove it. Hey, it’s time to shut up and play, just go play. Don’t worry about what people say. Don’t worry about what happened this summer between me and Nick. We feel really good about where we’re going.”
The Aggies enter 2022 as the N0. 6 ranked team in the AP poll after going 8-4 the previous season. But last year Fisher became the first former assistant to beat Saban as his team pulled off the 41-38 upset which will certainly only add more fuel to the team’s matchup this fall.
