Fired: Alabama Crimson Tide Head Coach Relieved of Duties….read more

Alabama’s turn at SEC Media Days isn’t until Wednesday, but there was still plenty of chatter about the Crimson Tide as the annual event kicked off on Monday.

After 17 years as the Alabama head coach, Nick Saban now works as an analyst for the ESPN family of networks and spent the first session of Monday’s event on the set of SEC Network responding and reacting to what was said at the main podium and also interviewing coaches when they visited the set.

The preseason media picks for the SEC champion will come out later in the week. Alabama has been picked as the preseason favorite in 11 of the last 14 seasons since 2010. Under Saban, the Crimson Tide won nine SEC championships from 2009-2023.
