Nick Saban Apologized To ESPN Reporter Maria Taylor For Getting Testy With Her

Well, he monkeyed up that question, didn't he?

she asked what he learned about the two seeing both of them play....fair question imho....he could have given the Kirby "i'll know more when I watch the tape" answer but nope...he was a dick...we all know TUA is the better of thw two but Jalen Hurts is no slouch and everybody is wondering what you do with a guy that has his record and has led the team to post season the past two years...it is an interesting issue and the world wants to know whats going on in his mind...figure out how to skirt questions like this with class....its not going away...or say what Kirby also said....we are going to use the guy we think gives us the best chance to win and that may be situational.....

Saban asked her to please lower her mic the next time she's interviewing him. The almost hit him in the nose.

I’ve listened to his exchange with her three times and I’m still trying to figure out the controversy.

All ESPN does is try to start shite now.

Some bullshite that any apology was deemed necessary. Goddamn liberals need to burn in Hell.

He apologized because Miss Terry told him to.

Want to bet she no longer will do a Bama game!

I did not understand the apology. There was no need for it. They just kicked Louisville's butt. What doe the twit ask? Not about the game but to try to open a controversy!

Racist plantation overseer

As much as I dislike Saban, he had no reason to apologize. She was trying to start shite between 2 players because the media is famous for starting shite.

He apologized because she is a black woman. The potential recruiting backlash was not worth the small knock to his ego.

I think Nick was mad that a woman could be nine inches taller than him.

meh. shouldn't have apologized. part of being a reporter. to hell with media figures thinking they're entitled to certain treatment.

The only thing that bothers me is that Saban should have known that question was coming and had something prepared that was more appropriate. No need to hasten a heart attack just to prove a point. I think Maria knew she had to ask and that he would be a jerk so she was able to laugh it off.

Nick is an a-hole. Not news.

This outrage is culture is so stupid. It's not like he cursed her out. He just answered a question with some emotion. She didn't deserve an apology, and she probably wasn't even offended. But then she logs onto twitter and sees that everyone is telling her to be offended, and she plays along

So they say he did. How about the networks make our lives better and never interview him in the first place

Maria Taylor would get teste.
