David Pollack Just Took Another Big Shot At Nick Saban Ahead Of SEC Championship

Former Georgia Bulldogs defensive end David Pollack joined DawgNation Daily on Tuesday and provided Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban with significant bulletin board material ahead of the SEC Championship Game.

Pollack, a former analyst with ESPN's College GameDay, bluntly stated that he believes Georgia is the better coached team, giving the edge to Kirby Smart

"Out of all the things in the game, the one thing that I can really say with confidence is Georgia's the best coached team," Pollack said. "Georgia's a better coached team than Alabama is. And I say that because Georgia doesn't beat itself with turnovers and penalties consistently over the last couple seasons."

This is not the first time in recent memory that Pollack has taken a direct shot at Saban. Remember at halftime of Georgia's dominant win over TCU in the national title last year when Pollack said that UGA's now taken over the sport of college football? He said that while sitting right next to a not-so-happy looking Nick Saban. 

Well he's doubling down. Pollack continued:

"It's the most unbelievable thing that you can discipline, and can you be tough, and you can be physical and have these five-star kids, flashing all this stuff," he said of Georgia ahead of this week's SEC title game. "But getting them to all speak your language, and Kirby's done a great job of that. And that's crazy to say coming into this matchup a couple years ago, five years ago, that Nick Saban would be out-coached by anybody. But to me, Kirby's proven that his program and the way he runs it, they're the standard. And now Alabama gets to go, 'ok, just don't forget about us.' Oh boy."

Georgia vs. Alabama kicks off at 4:00 p.m. ET on CBS this Saturday. Winners gets in - at least that's what we'd like to believe.
