SEC Round-Up: Bama Fans Mad at Saban

Freeze gets hot, Tom Brady money in Arkansas, different kind of Coach at LSU, and Petrino lands his first QB at A&M
In this story:

FRISCO, Texas – After years of watching Nick Saban coach, fans in Alabama have determined they have now surpassed the wisdom of the seven-time national championship coach and do not approve of his latest coordinator hires.

Meanwhile, in Auburn, Hugh Freeze swung into Arkansas and took the highest rated quarterback the state has had in a long time. To make matters worse for the Razorbacks, he was an Arkansas legacy with deep ties to the university.

All this, plus Texas, OU still possibly on the menu for 2024, a situation at LSU with a high profile Coach, and team news regarding the Super Bowl, NFL Draft and the start of baseball season in this Tuesday edition of the SEC Round-Up.
