In the aftermath of Alabama's 51-14 win over Louisville last week, you wouldn't have known there was even a football game.

The spotlight was on coach Nick Saban and his post-game interview with ESPN's Maria Taylor in which he snapped when asked about quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa.

Saban quickly apologized for the interview.

Taylor appeared on "The Paul Finebaum Show" on Thursday to talk about the interview.

"I've been yelled at by coaches since I was 12 years old playing AAU basketball. You know what I mean? I've been called everything under the sun, and by any coach you can imagine," Taylor told Finebaum. "So it didn't really affect me in that way. I understand that at times coaches get heated, and there are things they don't really want to talk about. As a sideline reporter, you're in the line of fire, and I just got lit up once. And that's fine. And I received a call from Saban even before I got to the highway leaving the stadium. That's how passionate he was about getting the apology out. It wasn't after he heard a backlash about it or negative talk, it was how he felt immediately in that moment. And I'm so thankful, and I respect him for making that call.

"It's all good. I'm going to see him again. We're going to be fine. Things happen, and I know that we both put it behind us, and hopefully everyone else can as well. I know how great Alabama is. I know how great Coach Nick Saban is, and I enjoy being around his program. I will continue to enjoy being around his program."

Great to have @MariaTaylor7 on the show today from College Station!
