Jimbo Fisher did not hold back when responding to Nick Saban’s accusation that Texas A&M “bought every player on their team,” in reference to the program’s Name, Image and Likeness deals.

“It’s despicable that we have to sit here at this level of ball and say these things to defend the people of this organization,” Fisher said during Thursday’s press conference, “the kids – 17-year old kids and their family.” He apologized to the fans and players for Saban’s comments, adding, “There are no violations.”

Texas A&M finished the 2022 recruiting season edging out Alabama for the top spot.
