Two of the best in what they do will share one stage this week at Southeastern Conference Media Days.
Nick Saban was Alabama football’s legendary head coach for 17 years. He propelled the Crimson Tide to six national championships, nine SEC Championships, eight College Football Playoff appearance, four Heisman Memorial Trophy winners, and a host of other accolades. He shares the ESPN stage with Paul Finebaum as a contributing analyst for the SEC Network.

Saban and Finebaum have respect for each other, yet both will throw a jab at one another every now and again.
Saban took his moment Monday to toss a hilarious jab at Finebaum. According to a graphic from SEC Network, Finebaum said it has been the worst six months of his life without Saban. Since he retired from coaching on Jan. 10, Finebaum does not have the content he craves without Saban. Saban, in his fashion, responded with “He tried to ruin mine for 17 years, so I guess we’re even.”

After winning championships in the conference, Saban is excited to break down the conference from the opposite end in Dallas, Texas.
