'Just Sayin' Alabama fans giving Nick Saban the business over QB comments

Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban has been out of the coaching game for nearly two years now and just turned 74, so mistakes happen. While everyone wants to look at this person who doesn't make mistakes, he is human and makes mistakes all the time, just like he did on ESPN's College GameDay this morning.

When the desk crew was talking about Penn State vs. Ohio State, specifically Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin, Saban might have forgotten exactly how long he was with the Crimson Tide. Sayin initially committed to Alabama and enrolled early in December of 2023, but when Saban retired in January of 2024, Sayin chose to enter the transfer portal and picked the Buckeyes.

Saban must have mistaken Sayin for someone else, as he claimed that the Alabama coach who kept Sayin on the scout team for a whole year was a 'dumbass,' when in reality, Sayin wasn't even at Alabama for a full year.

So yes, even Nick Saban makes mistakes, but this is one the internet apparently won't let him forget for a very long time.

College football fans unload on Saban after Julian Saying mistake on College GameDay

No, you are not missing anything, and Saban did, in fact, slip up. Not sure who Saban thought he was talking about, but maybe Sayin really made that much of an impact on him that it felt like he was around for a whole year instead of just a month.

Hey, the man may be 74, but he certainly isn't living life like he is. Everyone makes a mental error, granted this one looks pretty bad, but everyone gets older one day.

No, it is not true at all, but to be fair, the man was just trying to roast himself in order to show how good a quarterback he thinks Sayin is; he just did it with a story that was completely not true.

To be fair, he probably wasn't trying to lie, it feels like it truly was just a mistake.

Yes, it is clear that 2+2 is not equaling four here.

Sayin was there for more than a week, so at least what this person said isn't true either. Look, Saban made one mental mistake, and clearly, he will never live it down. He is still the greatest college football coach of all time, and no one can take that away from him.
