Alabama coach Nick Saban thinks his old cornerback Dee Milliner will fit in well with the Jets, who selected him with the ninth pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night. But Saban would prefer not to hear about how Milliner is the heir apparent to the departed Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis.

Saban got a little cranky when reporters at Radio City Music Hall began to ask him about Revis on Thursday night.

“I can already tell the tone of what you all are doing,” Saban told reporters. “What’s Revis got to do with Dee Milliner coming here? Just let Dee Milliner be Dee Milliner. Let Dee Milliner play like Dee Milliner plays. Whether Revis used to play there or not, what’s that got to do with Dee Milliner? Why do you want to make comparisons and make it like a circumstance for the guy before he ever gets a chance to go on the field? I think Dee has a vision for the kind of player that he wants to be, and I think he’ll be a very, very good player for a long time.”

Saban isn't satisfied again, this time with the media.

Good point by the coach. Dee wasn't drafted to replace Revis, anyone that expects that is bonkers.

Hopefully he'll be there some day.

There is literally nothing about Milliner that makes me think he'll be on the Deion/Revis level.

Case and point on why Saban couldn't handle the NFL.

It's always hilarious to see Saban get pissy with the media. Talk about biting the hand that feeds, shite.

I really wish you would either stop starting threads or stop pretending to be an Alabama fan

I agree with CNS on this one. He's helping his guy by trying to lower the expectations on Millner. Nothing wrong with that. Dee will be a good one but let him adjust to NFL life before they start the comparisons.

Nick Saban will die in a mental institution. Book it.

Man I would pay good money for Saban to coach one year for the Jets and just watch the press conferences
