Deion Sanders Says Conversation With Nick Saban Should Happen Publicly

Jackson State football coach Deion Sanders responded to Nick Saban’s comments on Thursday after the Crimson Tide’s football coach criticized Sanders for “paying a player a million dollars” to attend the program.

In addition to criticizing Sanders, Saban attacked Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher saying the Aggies program “bought every player on their team” and that his program “did not buy one player.”

While Saban has since apologized for his comments made on Wednesday and has attempted to reach out to Sanders, the Tigers’ coach said Saban’s comments are a matter that needs to be handled publicly.
