After Saban accused Fisher and the Aggies of paying for their 2022 recruiting class that ranks No. 1 in the country, Fisher called a special press conference to respond to those accusations. In his lengthy comments, Fisher called Saban a narcissist and told the media to look into Saban’s past after he accused others of cheating to land players.
The rant from Fisher easily went viral on social media, as he made it clear that he is “done” with the legendary Alabama head football coach.

"We never bought anybody. No rules were broken. Nothing was done wrong. It was all — and the way we do things, the ethics in which we do things, and these families — it's despicable that a reputable head coach (Saban) can come out and say this when he doesn't get his way or things don't go his way. The narcissist in him doesn't allow those things to happen, and it's ridiculous, when he’s not on top."

"Some people think they're God. Go dig into how God (Saban) did his deal. You may find out about a guy that a lot of things you don't want to know. We build him up to be the czar of football — go dig into his past or anybody that's ever coached with him. You can find out anything you want to find out and what he does and how he does it. And it's despicable."

"Not going to (take Saban's calls). We're done. He shows you who he is — he's the greatest ever, huh? When you've got all the advantages, it's easy. ... You coach with people like Bobby Bowden and learn how to do things. You coach with other people and learn how not to do things. There's a reason people don't go — I ain't went back and worked for him with opportunities. Don't want to be associated with him."

"If that's their job, that's fine. I'm sure they will. They'll reprimand or say something and we'll move on, I guess. This is about our players, and Texas A&M, and the people that work here and the coaches here. That's what this is about. Don't make a mistake. We're not going anywhere. We have still a lot of work to do. We're not where we want to be. This is gonna be a great program, and we're building it into a great program."

"It'll be be fun, won't it? Awkward about what? I don't mind confrontation. Lived with it my whole life. Kind of like it myself. Backin' away from it wasn't the way I was raised. ... You can even call me anything you want to call me. You ain't callin' me a cheat. I don't cheat and I don't lie, because I learned that — when I was a kid, and if you did, your old man slapped you upside the head. Maybe somebody should have slapped (Saban)."

"It's despicable what it does for the sport. And the operations, the way things were done the other way, when the parody was there — like we said, never had been parody. Certain people never followed the rules anyway. ... I didn't say that. Just made a statement."
