Nick Saban’s daughter Kristen Saban takes subtle shot at CFB analyst David Pollack after former Alabama HC walks into new role
Nick Saban's daughter, Kristen Saban, wasted no time taking a playful jab at former ESPN college football analyst David Pollack after her father, the legendary Nick Saban, walks into his new role on ESPN as a media analyst.
Kristen took a subtle swing at Pollack by referencing his past criticism of Nick Saban during his time at Alabama. Kristen fired back with a tweet saying, "HOWS IT FEEL DAVEY," accompanied by a “BOOM” GIF.
The banter stems from a moment in January 2023 when, during the College Football Playoff national championship game between Georgia and TCU. Pollack declared that Georgia had taken control of college football.
The Bulldogs went on to win the championship, proving Pollack's statement right, but not without some online scrutiny.
David Pollack then defended his earlier statement on social media, highlighting Georgia's back-to-back championships with only one-loss record in two years.
However, Pollack also clarified that his comment wasn't intended as a shot at Saban, emphasizing it was part of the halftime commentary routine.
