Losing to the Vanderbilt Commoders was the worst thing that could have happened to the Alabama Crimson Tide this season. The game not only threw Kalen DeBoer under the bus but also made their position worse in the ongoing season. However, with recent events unfolding, the wrath of that loss is also coming on to Bama’s former head coach, Nick Saban, but fans, being loyal, can never let any disrespect slide easily. Let’s see what the fuss is all about.
Today, the On3 sports share an incident that happened during ESPN College GameDay for Bama and LSU. Livvy Dunne took a shot at Nick Saban after she picked the Vandy to win the game against South Carolina. This was in the context of Nick Saban saying the place was not that hard to play. After this, Livvy made a harsh comment on him, saying, “Someone once said that Vanderbilt was the easiest place to play in the SEC, but not today. I’m going with Vanderbilt.” This soon instigated fans to take a shot at her. But before coming to that, let’s discuss the impact that loss had on Bama.

Well, what else can you expect Nick Saban to predict after knowing Vanderbilt’s condition in the game? The team has never won a single 10-win season or ever won any SEC championship.
This victory came out of a woodlock, and no one saw it coming. There is no doubt on why Saban chose Bama over them. Now let’s discuss fans giving a hard to Olivia after her blunt statement on Saban.

Nick Saban is not some random name in the world of college football, and when you talk about a legendary personality who has not only taken his team (Alabama) to seven championships but has also helped them get a top spot in the game, you don’t just say something out of the blue.
What’s your perspective on:
Did Livvy Dunne cross the line with her jab at Nick Saban, or was it fair game?
Have an interesting take?
An X user instantly commented on the post, saying, “Saban has accomplished more in a year than she will accomplish in her entire life.” Well, what else can you expect after making such bold remarks about Nick Saban and his vision? Even though Alabama lost against Vanderbilt this season, you can also not ignore the fact that they couldn’t beat Alabama for more than four decades. This also reflects the lack of knowledge one holds about the game. Even this fan shared a similar opinion saying, “She is such a dumbass! Nobody disrespects MY coach! #Dumbass”
Knowing Vanderbilt’s past record this season, the team was considered one of the underdog teams, and there is no doubt about their remarkable gameplay against Bama and how nicely they held up their position. But that came as a surprise, which was very evident by the trolls Bama had to face after that loss.

No one had figured that out, and blaming Nick Saban for his opinion is not a smart move. A fan supported this note, saying, “That was not smart of her. Nick Saban’s careers.” Everyone is aware of the amount of depth Nick Saban holds in this game, and taking a jab at him in his field of expertise is the last thing you want to do. “Yeah, I don’t think anyone needs to disrespect Saban,” they said.
This has to be the best comment so far: “She was so cringe.” Well, for now, let’s see if Vanderbilt actually wins against South Carolina or not; otherwise, there is more troll coming for Olivia.
