The Alabama Crimson Tide won the 2009 national title over the Texas Longhorns with the help of quarterback Greg McElroy under center. The team also featured Heisman winner Mark Ingram II and Julio Jones. Alabama ultimately won the game 37-21 for the first national title of the Nick Saban era in Tuscaloosa.

Nick Saban took a direct shot at Greg McElroy for starting a rumor that the Alabama football legend was interested in returning to coaching.

Nick Saban hasn't coached Greg McElroy since the 2010 season when they were both at Alabama, but the legendary former coach didn't miss a chance to get on his old quarterback's case.
