By TOM SHANAHAN When is someone in the media calling out Nick Saban for shielding his boy, North Carolina coach Bill Belichick? On ESPN’s Gameday prediction segment two Saturdays ago, Saban picked North Carolina to win on the road at Clemson. Not so fast, Nick. Clemson won, 28-20. We know Saban is a champion of …
