WATCH: Nick Saban, Deion Sanders playfully squash beef after offseason war of words

It looks like the war of words between Nick Saban and Deion Sanders is over-with, and the Aflac duck was the mediator.

On set to shoot another commercial for the insurance brand, Saban and Sanders put an end to their dispute that started when the Alabama coach uncharacteristically name-dropped the Jackson State coach while speaking about his qualms with NIL.

Check out the video shared by Sanders of the two coaches rekindling their friendship, to which he wrote, “Two goats, one duck, no beef.”

“We’re in Los Angeles, California, back on the Aflac set with the G.O.A.T.,” stated Sanders.

Of course, Saban kept the duo on brand, responding, “And the duck.”

“I was talking about you, so you calling me a duck?” laughed Sanders, complimenting the Alabama football coach.

As you can see, that doesn’t look like two coaches who have a rivalry at the moment. Things may be all good with Deion Sanders, but maybe Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher need to start an Aflac spinoff commercial series to save their relationship.

Moreover, following Nick Saban’s controversial comments earlier this year where he insinuated Jackson State paid star recruit Travis Hunter to join their program, Deion Sanders made sure to respond to his Aflac partner.

Originally, Sanders revealed that he and Saban had not yet talked following the incident, and that it should take place publicly when they do so. Sanders still had a lot of respect and admiration for Saban as a football coach, but he did not like the comments.

“I haven’t talked to Coach Saban,” Sanders told Jean-Jacques Taylor after the controversy. “I’m sure he’s tried to call. We need to talk publicly — not privately. What you said was public. That doesn’t require a conversation. Let’s talk publicly and let everybody hear the conversation.

“You can’t do that publicly and call privately. No, no, no. I still love him. I admire him. I respect him. He’s the magna cum laude of college football and that’s what it’s going to be because he’s earned that. But he took a left when he should’ve stayed right. I’m sure he’ll get back on course. I ain’t tripping.”

Hunter, the basis of Saban’s jab at Jackson State, also responded to Saban’s suggestion of him earning $1 million to sign with Jackson State. He laughed off the suggestion, squashing that idea from Saban.

“I got A mil? (laughing face emoji)” questioned Hunter. “But my mom still stay in a 3 bed room house with five kids (laughing face emoji).”

Evidently, the behind the scene Aflac commercial shoot counts as a public conversation, as Deion Sanders has only love for Nick Saban at the moment.
