Nick Saban Calls Out Alabama on 'College GameDay' Following Vanderbilt Loss

Former Alabama head coach and college football icon Nick Saban didn't hold back when discussing the Crimson Tide's disappointing upset loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores in Week 6, just a week after defeating the No. 1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs .

Saban emphasized the importance of discipline and consistent performance, highlighting key issues with how Alabama approached the game against Vanderbilt following their monumental win over Georgia.

He shared his insights on ESPN's "College GameDay" on Saturday morning in Eugene, Oregon, as the panel analyzed Alabama's Week 7 matchup.

"I saw a little complacency, almost even arrogance, after the Georgia win. That creates a blatant disregard for doing what's right." - Nick Saban on Alabama's loss to Vandy.

Saban attended Week 5's win over Georgia but appeared unimpressed throughout the game. Many on the panel noted that the Crimson Tide seemed more focused on interacting with the opposing team than on the game itself, a trend that is beginning to show in their performance.

Now, the No. 7 ranked Crimson Tide have the chance to bounce back with a crucial matchup against a solid South Carolina Gamecocks team. If Alabama doesn't improve and show up ready to play, they risk suffering another loss.

It begins with head coach Kalen DeBoer and quarterback Jalen Milroe , both of whom faced significant backlash after the loss. This marked Vanderbilt's first victory over Alabama since 1984, and they had never beaten the Crimson Tide during Nick Saban's tenure. Prior to this upset, Vanderbilt was 0-40 against top-five opponents. Now, Saban is seeking an attitude shift as they prepare for Week 7.
