Nick Saban treating Jimbo Fisher "like a fly on your potato salad": Paul Finebaum

What's going on behind the scenes at the SEC meetings between Saban and Jimbo.

This year's SEC spring meetings are taking place in Destin, Florida, and naturally the thing on everyone's mind is how Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher would interact.

Saban infamously stated that Texas A&M "bought every player on their team" during recruiting season, kicking off a fiery response from Fisher.

But going by what Paul Finebaum has heard, Saban was very dismissive of his SEC West rival.

“It was quintessential Saban,” Finebaum said.

“Anyone who has been around him for any amount of time knew what he was going to say. Nick Saban never engages other coaches. That’s below him. That’s not what he does. 

"He’s the greatest of all time. He treated Jimbo Fisher yesterday like a fly on your potato salad at the Memorial Day company picnic. Like shoo, get away, you’re not really important, you’re not worthy. I think Saban was smart. He acted like it was no big deal."
