Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M finally snapped the streak of former Nick Saban assistants to beat the Alabama coach.
He shared his reaction to that with Jamie Erdahl and CBS Sports after the Aggies stunned Alabama, 41-38. The updated record of Saban against former assistants is now 24-1.
Fisher said he has great respect for Saban, “He’s one of the best that ever did it and learned a lot when I coached with him and we had a lot of good times. But we’ve got a heck of a program here. We could be special here if he allow ourselves …”
He also called it a great win for the program.
