Bill Simmons rips Nick Saban for being a ‘coward’
Bill Simmons lit up Nick Saban on Friday with the hottest of hot takes that is sure to rile up fans in Alabama.
On Episode 160 of “The Bill Simmons Podcast” which was released Friday, Simmons went hard after Saban, calling the Crimson Tide coach a “coward.”
Let’s be clear: Simmons didn’t appear to set out to destroy Saban, but he casually torched the Crimson Tide head coach while discussing a pick for the National Championship Game.
“He’s a coward, he left the NFL,” said Simmons, via SEC Country. “He’s a coward. You (should) want to compete against the best. The best coaches aren’t in college football; they’re in professional football. And he had a chance to go head-to-head against Bill Belichick, the greatest coach of all-time, he didn’t get the quarterback he wanted in Miami, and like a coward he went back to college, where he stays, where he can just beat up on all these inferior college coaches. Congratulations. He’s the guy who plays Madden on rookie level winning the Super Bowl.
“Come to the NFL, let’s see how good of a coach you are, Nick Saban. When he plays golf does he play from the pink tees? Come to the NFL, let’s see how good you are.
“‘Oh I didn’t get Drew Brees in Miami, I gotta go back to college. I’m just gonna cherry pick all the best high school players on the planet because I’m the head coach at Alabama,’ Simmons said, mocking Saban.
Though humorous and certain to generate plenty of backlash, Simmons’ comments are completely misguided and could not possibly devalue Saban’s accomplishments and the difficulties of his achievements any more.
The list of greatest college football coaches all time is pretty short. You’re talking Bear Bryant, Knute Rockne, Tom Osborne, and maybe a few others. If his team wins on Monday, Saban probably slides into the top spot as best college coach ever.
