So I’m just focused on our guys and what we need to do in helping our guys be successful.”Īsked if he was surprised by two prominent coaches in his sport going at each other in such a public fashion, Swinney said he’ll let Saban and Fisher “figure all that stuff out.” Swinney has coached against both multiple times, most recently when Clemson beat A&M during the 2019 season at Memorial Stadium. “I ain’t getting involved in all that stuff. I’m just focused on the Tigers,” Swinney said. The Aggies’ fourth-year coach unloaded on his former boss (Fisher was Saban’s offensive coordinator at LSU in the early 2000s) in denying Saban’s allegations, calling the claims “despicable” and referring to Saban him a “narcissist.”Ĭlemson coach Dabo Swinney weighed in on the situation when asked at Omar Shrine Temple on Tuesday as part of the athletic department’s Prowl & Growl tour whether or not the opportunity for players to make money through NIL deals could possibly lead to more public finger-pointing among coaches, though Swinney kept his comments to a minimum. ![]() ![]() Saban accused A&M of buying “every player” in its top-ranked recruiting class during the first year of the NIL era, prompting Fisher to call an impromptu press conference in response. Alabama coach Nick Saban and Texas A&M head man Jimbo Fisher set the college football world ablaze last week with their verbal spat related to name, image and likeness deals for student-athletes.
