Nick Saban Pays Johnny Manziel Huge Compliment On Air

Alabama head coach Nick Saban and Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel appeared on ESPN's pre-game BCS National Championship Game coverage Monday night to give their thoughts on tonight's matchup. During that segment the Crimson Tide coach paid Johnny Football one heck of a compliment. First he started off by saying...

"I like him a lot better in his coat and tie than I do on the football field,"

Then Saban wanted to make sure he got this out before the coverage moved on...

quote:

"This guy is one of the greatest competitors in all the years I've coached, 40 years of coaching, that I've had the opportunity to play against," Saban said. "This guy does a fantastic job."
