Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin was on the outside observing as Alabama’s Nick Saban and Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher got into a war of words over accusations of paying players to attend their respective schools.

Saban accused Fisher of buying players to get the top recruiting class for 2022. He said under the pretext of name, image and likeness (NIL), "A&M bought every player on their team."

Fisher called for a press conference Thursday morning and tore into the Alabama head coach. Fisher said Saban reached out to him but didn’t take the call, adding "we’re done."

Go dig into his past or anybody who's ever coached with him. You can find out anything you want to find out what he does and how he does it."

Fisher denied the Aggies broke any rules attracting the No. 1 recruiting class in 2022.

"I don’t cheat. I don’t lie.
