Nick Saban is skeptical that Alabama will be one of the best teams in the SEC this season, but at least one Crimson Tide player does not care what his former coach thinks.
Saban has been working as an analyst for ESPN since he stunned the college football world by retiring in January. The seven-time national champion is covering SEC Media Days this week, and he has already delivered some noteworthy takes. One of them came on Tuesday, when Saban predicted that Georgia and SEC newcomer Texas will be the two teams competing in the SEC Championship Game this season.
Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Booker was asked on Wednesday about Saban’s comments. He had an awesome response.
“(Saban) always used to say, ‘Don’t let some guy that lives in their mom’s basement determine how you feel.’ So I’m not gonna let some guy who plays golf all day determine how I feel,” Booker told reporters.
