I’ve got news for Texas A&M head football coach Jimbo Fisher.

That is, don’t be a-messin’ with Alabama head coach — and former Browns defensive coordinator — Nick Saban.

Their bitter, visceral back-and-forth recently concerning who’s playing fair and who’s not with the NCAA’s new NIL initiative, was unbelievable — totally unbelievable — and at the same time fantastic. It made Ohio State’s Ryan Day dust-up a while back with The Team Up North’s Jimmy Harbaugh seem like an innocent misunderstanding at a church bazaar.

I’m not getting into the meat of the spitting match between Saban and Fisher. That’s another story for another time, and this isn’t the time nor the website for that. This is BrownsDailyDose.com, and we deal only in Browns-related stuff. From his time in Cleveland 30 years ago, working with a guy named Bill Belichick — perhaps you’ve heard of him — Saban qualifies.

But, like I said, I wouldn’t be a-messin’ with Mr. Saban, and Fisher, not with the fact he responded to Saban’s claims, but that he got very down and dirty and personal with the iconic Alabama coach, was REALLY a-messin’ with him.

And I would tell that to anyone. You never taunt the guy with not just the bigger arsenal, but with the biggest arsenal year-in and year-out for well over a decade, and perhaps the biggest in the history of college football.

I don’t care if you’re Jimbo Fisher, a fisherman, a fisher of men, former world chess champion Bobby Fischer or anybody else with Fisher in his name or moniker.

You’re going to lose. Saban is a guy who has never been interested in just getting even. He’s interested in getting ahead.

He has, and he will — once again.

You can count on it.

More on Nick Saban next time.
