Never even ran the Big 12”, “Gonna go undefeated”: Nick Saban’s comments on Texas leaves CFB fans debating

Former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban doesn’t think the Texas Longhorns will dominate in the SEC. Texas joined the SEC on July 1 alongside Oklahoma as part of the college football realignment.

Many people are interested to see how Texas and Oklahoma will fare in the SEC, but Saban doesn’t think the Longhorns will do great in 2024.

people asking questions about how Texas always ran the conference they were in,” Saban said during SEC Media Days, via On3

There’s a whole lot of arrogant people in a lot of places in the SEC. Forget all about that. They’ll be a good team and a great program and Sark will do a great job, but that’s not gonna be a problem.”

It was an interesting take from Saban, and after he made the comments, the college football world reacted to it.

He’s talking about arrogance in general “running” the conference. Texas has a lot of it, but so do a bunch of other teams in the SEC. Listen closely to what he’s talking about,” a fan added.

Other fans, meanwhile, think Texas could surprise many including Saban, and have success in 2024 in the SEC.
