A question that’s been rolled around the collection of Nick Saban disciples during the SEC media days this week has been if they knew Saban’s record against his former assistants. Some were well aware but Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher said, “I’ve never heard that, never, ever heard that before.”
Fisher was Saban’s offensive coordinator at LSU where the two won a national championship together in 2003. Fisher would later become the head coach at Florida State where he won another championship in 2013 and later on would face Alabama in 2017 and 2018 as the Aggies head coach where he would add his name twice to the list of former assistants who haven’t beat Saban.
