In happier times between Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban, Fisher waited outside Alabama’s locker room to congratulate Saban on yet another national title with the Crimson Tide in January 2018.

When did it go haywire between one of the two most iconic college football coaches in history and … a fellow West Virginian in Fisher? Based on what Fisher said in his 10-minute bombast during a hastily planned news conference on Thursday, the acrimony dates to their time together at LSU from 2000-04.
Saban, who’s won six national titles at Alabama after winning one with Fisher at LSU in 2003, once used the critical word “bought” in another manner in describing his former offensive coordinator at LSU. “We thought very similar, and I don’t mean to piggyback,” Fisher said in 2018 about his time spent with Saban. “We saw the game very similarly. There are nuances, but meaning what you had to do to be successful.”
These tempestuous days Fisher, 56, has labeled Saban, 70, a “narcissist” who believes he’s God, a stunning revelation from a former Saban assistant who up until last week had only praised Saban publicly.
