HOOVER, Ala. — Texas A&M Coach Jimbo Fisher, given a chance at SEC Media Days to retract or at least soften his statement several weeks earlier that he would beat Nick Saban’s backside, didn’t back down.
Fisher instead smiled when asked whether he had any regrets about his response when he spoke at the Houston Touchdown Club on May 5.
At the meeting, Fisher was asked whether it would take Nick Saban, 69, retiring as Alabama’s coach for his Aggies to beat the Crimson Tide.
“We’re going to beat his [butt] while he’s there,” Fisher said.
