Last weekend, Jalen Hurts made some comments where he was critical of Alabama's coaching staff and how they have handled the QB situation during the offseason. Nick Saban then issued a rebuttal on Wednesday saying that Hurts has the right to express his feelings and that what he said will have no effect on the QB race.
Ben Maller believes Saban but thinks the reason it won't affect the QB competition is because Tua Tagovailoa has had the job wrapped up since his performance in the National Championship Game. While Hurts did get the job done, he was largely unremarkable and performance is the only thing that matters.
