Nick Saban’s Message to Texas as They Enter the SEC: “They’re Not Gonna Run It”

Nick Saban, the legendary head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, recently shared his thoughts on the Texas Longhorns joining the Southeastern Conference (SEC). In an appearance on the SEC Network’s “SEC Now” show, Saban made it clear that he doesn’t believe Texas will have an easy time dominating the SEC like they did in the Big 12.

Saban pointed out that many people assume Texas will run the SEC, but he disagrees. He emphasized that while Texas will be a good team under head coach Steve Sarkisian, they won’t have an easy time in the tough SEC.

The Longhorns, who made it to the College Football Playoff last year, will face stiff competition in the SEC, where several teams consistently have double-digit wins each season. Despite their success in the Big 12, Texas will have to prove themselves in the SEC.

Saban’s comments add an interesting perspective to the upcoming season, especially as Texas transitions to a new conference. With Saban now retired from coaching and starting a new chapter in his media career, his insights continue to be highly valued in the college football world.
