The rumors and reports swirling around Nick Saban’s potential coaching return can be put to rest… for now, at least. Saban’s own daughter, Kristen, took to social media Thursday to confirm that her father will not be patrolling the sidelines at any level, be it college or the NFL, any time soon.
Kristen initially posted a video of Saban’s walkout at Alabama with the caption “damn, I miss this,” to her Instagram story. Some Alabama fans apparently interpreted that as a hint at Saban’s return.
That forced a response from Kristen.
“Apparently some of y’all feel trolled by my last story of Nick’s walkout… he’s not coming back to coaching, hate to break it to you,” Kristen wrote. “You had your time.”
Former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy, who was Saban’s second starter with the Crimson Tide, stoked the fires of a potential Saban return on the first day of SEC Media Days when he said that a “notable” source that was adamant that Saban would return to coaching at some point in the future.
Immediately, despite his conspicuous absence from SEC Media Days, the 74-year-old Saban — now an Emmy Award-winning analyst for ESPN’s “College GameDay” — became the talk of the town in Atlanta.
