Paul Finebaum explains why he blames Nick Saban for Alabama’s uncharacteristic off-year
Published:
Paul Finebaum joined “First Take” on ESPN on Tuesday morning and discussed Alabama, which is not seeing the same success it has seen in the past few seasons.
Finebaum had some bold comments about who is to blame for Alabama’s struggles, and he ultimately decided that the players aren’t to blame, but the coaching staff is.
“There’s a lot of fault to go around,” Finebaum said to Stephen A. Smith. “And I hope you’re sitting and I hope you’ve got your medication nearby. But you know where the blame lies Stephen A.? It lies with your man Nick Saban.”
Finebaum went on to say that this season hasn’t been a “vintage” Nick Saban season despite a talented roster and said the Saban is fully at fault for the struggles.
Alabama’s CFP hopes are likely over, but the Tide can still put together a decent rest of the season.
