Nick Saban is skeptical that Alabama will probably be among the best groups within the SEC this season, however at the very least one Crimson Tide participant doesn’t care what his former coach thinks.
Saban has been working as an analyst for ESPN since he shocked the faculty soccer world by retiring in January. The seven-time nationwide champion is overlaying SEC Media Days this week, and he has already delivered some noteworthy takes. Considered one of them got here on Tuesday, when Saban predicted that Georgia and SEC newcomer Texas would be the two groups competing within the SEC Championship Sport this season.
Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Booker was requested on Wednesday about Saban’s feedback. He had an superior response.
“(Saban) at all times used to say, ‘Don’t let some man that lives of their mother’s basement decide how you’re feeling.’ So I’m not gonna let some man who performs golf all day decide how I really feel,” Booker informed reporters.
