Nick Saban had the biggest crowd at SEC media days. In the news conference. In the lobby. Heck, likely if Saban went to the restroom, there’d be a mob waiting.
So it goes for the biggest rock star in the biggest media-staged rock concert in college football.
So when he had the mic before the roughly 1,200 media folks horned into the venue at the Wynfrey Hotel, he just could not exit without a parting shot.
“Every year that we’ve been fortunate enough to win the championship, you picked someone else,” Saban told the members of the media. “So just to let you know that we’re evaluating you.”
