Clay Travis has a piece about this topic, but I won't link it since I know so many of you hate him.

Herby said today that ESPN- SEC Bias is ridiculous. ABC can not show an SEC team in its prime time slot due to contract agreement with SEC and cbs. A top ranked ACC, BIG12, pac12 or Big 10 would benefit their parent network, ABC. . That argument is ridiculous.

I can't decide if Jimbo actually believes the garbage that comes out of his mouth or is just lying. I tend to think that he couldn't possibly be that stupid. He's just a liar.

Jimbo once had a promising future, but he is letting his thugs pull him down. He has lost all credibility. Wonder how many schools will be clamering for his services?

I think Jimbo has a valid point.

After all, it's not like ESPN ever reported about:

1) Four Alabama Players Dismissed From Team For Robbery....

2) The Murder of two Former Auburn Football Players

3) Jimmy Johns Arrested for Cocaine

4) Florida Dimissing Jenkins For Drugs

5) Ole Miss Dismissing Two Players for Public Drunkenness

And ESPN never said a single word negative about:

Cam Newton
Johnny Manziel (ESPN never said anything about "Johnny Cash")
Zach Mettenberger
Nick Marshall


Nope, Fisher is right. ESPN is to blame for all of his problems.


Just like they were to blame for the institutional problems at Ohio State and Penn State.

Some Bama fans have mentioned Jimbo's name to replace CNS when he retires. This guy comes across as a whiner with no backbone and very little discipline in his program.
I hope he's never considered to coach at Alabama!

Thats honestly the first I have ever heard of Fisher being mentioned as CNS replacement. It was like when CPB died who ever thought we would wind up with Ray Perkins. We had idiots running the athletic department after CPB retired. So any talk of CNS replacement is just crap . IMHO

I've never heard that. No school with any integrity would touch him. If he leaves it will be for the NFL I think.

To do what in the NFL? Honestly. The guy has talent galore because of the physical location of the university going up against teams from a pathetic conference. Quality wins at best Clemson, Ok St, ND, Louisville. Now that's brutal.

Friends and family that know me will tell everyone I have an uncanny ability to read people. It drove my kids crazy during their teenage years as I counseled them about friends and contacts. Having said that, when I watch videos of Jimbo, I honestly can't tell if he's corrupt, blinded by loyalty, naive, ignorant, sincere in his beliefs, disrespectful, or some combination of these traits. I simply can't read the guy.

How could a Head Coach at a major university be so dumb (can't think of another word) as to claim a conspiracy between the SEC and ESPN? Leave that garbage to the fans.

Jimbo is doing his best to deflect the "shortcomings" of his players == rape, battery, robbery, hate speech, etc. If anyone buys into the SEC/ESPN connection argument, their media credentials should be revoked.
