Former Alabama running back Najee Harris says Nick Saban belittled him at Alabama

Najee Harris seems like a pretty fun guy, but he talked with Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor on the Pivot and he did not hold back any punches on Nick Saban.

The former Alabama running back says he and the Ole Ball Coach bumped heads for years.

It is from 14:25 on you can here Najee Harris talk about his relationship with Nick Saban.

“I’m not the type of dude to sit back and just let somebody talk to me in a way and expect me not to say something,”

“I can take coaching, but, like, it’s just a certain type of line when you cross, like all right, bro, I’m a man, you ain’t gon’ f***ing talk to me like that.”

“Don’t think you’re more than just a coach to me. Don’t try to belittle. I felt like I was belittled.”

“Last incident happened and I left school,” Najee said. “I left school for like two weeks — people didn’t know that. I left school for like two weeks and then Saban sat me in his office.”

Harris said he actually left Alabama for two weeks, which no one knew. Harris said that Nick Saban and him had words but after that they had a good relationship. But he says Nick Saban and Mike Tomlin are a lot different.
