David Pollack, a former defensive end for the Georgia Bulldogs and ESPN analyst, joined the YouTube channel DawgNation Daily and provided some scathing commentary about the Alabama Crimson Tide and head coach Nick Saban.

Pollack vehemently stated that Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart is the better coach, a stance he's maintained for a few days now.

"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."
The feud between Pollack and the Crimson Tide has been a long-standing one. If you'll recall, he had some choice words toward Saban before last year's national championship game between TCU and Georgia.
Saban hasn’t forgotten what you said to his face on live TV last season David Pollack..
I hope he has this video on replay in the locker room for the players to see all week. pic.twitter.com/gJzZQ4YdPs

Going back to Pollack's position on Saban versus Smart, he had more to say.
"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 Southeastern Conference 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."
We'll see if Pollack is on the right side of history, as Alabama and Georgia will square off Saturday at 4 p.m. ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
