Paul Finebaum hasn’t written a book since his “My Conference Is Better Than Your Conference: Why the SEC Still Rules College Football” became a New York Times bestseller in 2014.

That’s set to change, as the longtime radio and TV personality has been announced as pennning a new work with Alabama sportswriter John Talty on Nick Saban and the legendary head coach’s relationship with 2 of his mentees, Kirby Smart and Jimbo Fisher.

That relationship has come to the forefront over the past half-year as Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs defeated Saban’s Crimson Tide in January’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game for Georgia’s first title since 1980, while in May, Saban and Fisher were involved in a feud over the former’s accusation that the latter had taken advantage of NIL deals to buy players for Texas A&M’s top-ranked 2022 recruiting class.

According to Sports Business Journal’s Michael Smith, Finebaum has been paid a $700,000 advance to write the book for publisher Penguin press, not including royalties stemming from book sales following its expected publication in 2023.

Knowing the overwhelming interest in the SEC nationally — even before Oklahoma and Texas were announced to be joining the conference by 2025 — it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Finebaum’s book will be a major seller once released.
