Alabama linebacker Henry To'oTo'o responds to Jimbo Fisher slandering his coach

Alabama linebacker Henry To’oTo’o, who transferred from Tennessee last season, has put his foot down after hearing Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher unload a series of insults toward Nick Saban. As one of the leaders of the defense, he is making sure no attack gets past him without a response.

After the conclusion of Jimbo Fisher’s press conference, Henry To’oTo’o was quick to warn his rival that there could be consequences for his actions.

“Don’t test the goat,” tweeted To’oTo’o.

The two coaches and their players will get a chance to settle the score on Oct. 8, when they meet for the annual division game in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. To add to the fireworks, Texas A&M pulled off the upset in College Station, Texas last year to make Jimbo Fisher the first former Saban assistant to knock off his old boss.

Jimbo Fisher responds to Nick Saban

Nick Saban provided harsh criticism of recruiting efforts by Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher, his former assistant, while speaking about the unsustainable model of NIL rules.

“I know the consequence is going to be difficult for the people who are spending tons of money to get players,” Saban said via AL.com. “You read about it, you know who they are. We were second in recruiting last year. A&M was first. A&M bought every player on their team. Made a deal for name, image and likeness.

Jimbo Fisher opened his press conference by addressing the accusations made by his former boss Nick Saban.

“First, I want to say, it’s a shame that we have to do this,” said Fisher. It’s realty despicable. It’s despicable that somebody can say things about somebody, an organization, and more importantly 17-year old kids. You’re taking shots at 17-year old kids and their families. That they broke state laws, that they’re all money, that we bought every player on this group.

“We never bought anybody. No rules were broken. Nothing was done wrong. It was all – the way in which we do things, the ethics of how we do things. And these families, it’s despicable that a reputable head coach can come out and say this when he doesn’t get his way or things don’t go his way. The narcissist in him doesn’t allow those things to happen and it’s ridiculous when he’s not on top.”
