After exchanging barbs with each other, the tension between Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban has cooled Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher, left, and Alabama head coach Nick Saban meet at midfield after their game in College Station, Texas, in 2019. Xxx Img Bama667 1 1 45v20bgg Jpg

You would think after what happened to his team last year that Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher would have learned his lesson about coming for Alabama and Nick Saban.

Fisher’s comments about Bama set off a firestorm the whole summer, especially after Saban basically accused Fisher of cheating to get players to come to College Station.

Fisher was furious with Saban and even called a press conference to discuss the allegations in which he called Saban out.

Well despite saying the pair had kissed and made up, Fisher is once again at another Aggies event talking about Saban and Alabama.

When asked again about beating Saban’s behind again, Fisher said this:

“I’m with you on that,” Fisher said, . “We should have had them (beat) a year ago, we will … I’m sleeping well right now, I promise you.”

Last year’s contest, just like the year before, came down to the final seconds but this time unlike the previous year, the Tide came out on top.

The Aggies never recovered after that loss and ended up having a losing season. But this year, they host Bama in College Station again where the Tide lost two years ago and Fisher seems to be very confident again. We shall see how long that confidence last.
