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.

Saban knows that the ny media and the jets fans are going to tear Milliner apart; everyone knows this. They should have drafted a pass rusher and addressed the CB situation via FA because it is going to be a blood bath. Hope Milliner has armor for skin.

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.

Yes...them drafting a cb after getting rid of revis was a coincidence. Did he really not think people would ask him about it?

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.

Starting 44 of 47 career games, including 15 last year with 53 TTs and 4 INTs for the NFL's best defense?
