SEC football: 15 instances where it just meant more
By John Buhler
10. Nick Saban wanted us to quit asking about his Alabama quarterback situation between Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa, aight!
Nick Saban has done so much for the SEC over the years. After briefly winning it all at LSU, he went pro, only to come back to the only league that matters. He has done so much winning at Alabama, they will make multiple statues of him. While his team usually does the talking for him, Saban is actually pretty fantastic in front of a microphone. Just don’t ask him about quarterbacks.
His “I’m not going to, so quit asking!” response to ESPN’s Maria Taylor’s question about Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa quickly went viral, only adding intrigue to the living legend that is Saban.

That comment came out of Saban’s mouth like s**t through a tin horn, aight. Every so often during a regular season, Saban will have something to say at the podium during the campaign, and he will let it rip, no matter what question he was initially asked to begin with. However, this response to Taylor’s serious journalistic question became meme-worthy overnight, thus the content we crave!
Taylor has since left ESPN and has gone on to work for NBC Sports. Saban has continued to excel at Alabama into his early 70s. While he and Taylor have since patched things up since their most famous encounter, we will always have these three seconds of unintentional comedic gold. “So quit asking!” has transcended college football and can be applied in all areas of life, to be honest.
Though there is a chance Saban may have a few zingers left to be unloaded, how can he top this?
