Victorious Nick Saban calls out media for having Bama ‘6 feet under’ after Ole Miss loss
Saban doesn’t care what the media has to say.

After Alabama lost to Ole Miss again this year, many people said the Crimson Tide’s dynasty was over. Nick Saban would like to tell the media that he doesn’t give a damn what they have to say. And that they were wrong. From ESPN:
“I say the same thing as when y’all buried us last week,” he said. “It really doesn’t matter what you think. It really doesn’t matter what you say. And I’m hoping that nobody on our team is playing for you. I hope they’re playing for each other and their team and what they want to accomplish and not what you think. Because that’s certainly not what I’m doing. I’m coaching and working for our players and our team to be as good as it can be, and if that’s not pleasing to somebody else, then it’s not pleasing to somebody else.
...
“It’s not going to be for you!” he said, directing his response to the media. “The fans, yes. Because if it was up to you, we’re 6 feet under already. We’re dead and buried and gone! Gone!”
For the record, we poked fun at the notion that Bama was done after its loss to Ole Miss. After all, the Tide lost to the Rebels last year and still made the College Football Playoff. Zombie Bama looks like it might make the Playoff again this season.
