Jimbo Fisher fires back at Nick Saban regarding comments on NIL and Texas A&M buying players

Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher holds a press conference in response to comments made by Alabama head coach Nick Saban Wednesday night on NIL and schools (including Texas A&M and Jackson State) using it to "buy" players.
Fisher worked as an assistant on Saban's staff at LSU.

[@quailvalleyfarm]

Under the table payoffs of college players by Boosters have been occurring for decades. 40+ years ago I worked for a Booster (of a regularly top-10 finishing university), and we'd have big name football players come through and do 20-minutes of work, then they'd disappear. Generally, they receive some cash on the spot, AND at the end of the week, they'd receive a paycheck. During that same era, I had first-hand knowledge of other Boosters doing essentially the same thing with players who would have been nationally known at the time. This NIL stuff just takes it to a new level and brings it into the light.

What Saban implied (and what Fisher was insulted by) was that a recruit should go to the school that would "Develop them as players, as People, and as Students". When Saban said this before saying that A&M bought their recruits is that A&M isn't a good school to be developed as players, people, students etc and instead chose 💰 over development. So basically its an insult to the coaching staff. Its kind of a reach tho, pretty sure Jimbo was more pissed that A&M was doing something unethical than anything else.

Jimbo is such a clown…laughable…he’s as shady as they get…he knows good and well he paid for every one of those players…he might have done it in a manner so as not to get in legal trouble but he’s 💯 guilty…he says A&M has a collective but he is ignorant to the details of what players are getting paid…come on…he’s such a disgrace…no one believes he doesn’t know exactly what each player was promised

[@darylboldin4732]

Jimbo just admitted that saben was paying for player way before nill got read between the lines and it is despictal when a coach call out anoter coach for wath he was doing all the year it illegal jimbo should not half defend his self when it come legal bit savon and Alabama should be investgated before it came legal to pay players probly half give back lot national championship and sec championship point blank

Jimbo said its easy to win when you have been getting all the best players. And yet he just broke the record for the highest recruited class in history and he's 3-2 on the season and lost to app state. I guess it ain't so easy is it jimbo. Lol

Notice he didn’t say “no one was paid” I guess recruiting now is how much money your boosters give you/

“No laws were broken in the state of Texas,” I guess the state of Texas is totally open to buying people - he never actually said we never brought anyone. Jimbo might not have organized it, but the booster sure as hell did. Nobody signs the all time greatest class of all time overnight.

In the old days when Texas A&M was a member of the SWC/Big XII, the Aggies needed only to beat Texas to have a successful year. Texas could win the conference, but the Ags seemed happy just to knock off the Horns. Today, A&M needs only to beat Alabama to have a successful year. Meanwhile, Alabama plays in the national championship game. Things have not changed much at College Station. A&M beat the Tide in 2021, but they lost to Arkansas, MIss State, Ole Miss, and LSU. All the talk now is how the Aggies topped Alabama in recruiting. Sounds like the same old song from Aggieland.

Fishers body language alone speaks volumes! Fisher just throwed more gas on the fire at Texas A&M. The days of the old Southwest Conference where paying players was a martyr, hasn't changed at Texas A&M.
