Nick Saban has hilarious response to Paul Finebaum at SEC Media Days

SEC Media Days aren't complete without Paul Finebaum and Nick Saban.

The week-long media event kicked off on Monday, with the college football world descending upon Dallas, Texas. On Monday, Finebaum admitted that the last few months without Saban as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide have been some of the worst of his life.

Saban was shown the clip during a segment on ESPN's Get Up . You can see his response in the clip below courtesy of the show's X account .

"Well he tried to ruin [my life] for 17 years, so I guess we're even," Saban joked.

Saban made the shocking decision to retire after the team's loss to the Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl, just a game away from the College Football Playoff National Championship. It's not like he left with anything to prove, however, leaving college football with seven national championships and 11 SEC titles, solidifying himself as the greatest coach in the history of the sport.

Now, Saban is enjoying retirement with some more relaxing, but still high-paying jobs. He's currently making $500,000 from his old university by simply serving in an advisor role to the football program.

Meanwhile, the iconic head coach is also going to be working at ESPN. The sports media giant is joining College GameDay to serve as an analyst during the Saturday morning pregame show. The deal also includes appearances for Saban during big events like the NFL draft and SEC Media Days, which are taking place this week.

He may no longer be a coach, but Saban is going to continue staying around and sharing his insights on national television.
