In the past week, rumors began circulating that legendary Alabama football coach Nick Saban could potentially return to coaching, but those rumors have now been put to rest. Saban's daughter, Kristen, played a key role in quashing the speculation.
Earlier this week, Kristen posted an old video to her Instagram story showing her father leading the Alabama team onto the field before a game. This seemingly innocuous post led some Crimson Tide fans to wonder if it could be a sign that Saban was considering a comeback. However, Kristen quickly shut down those rumors, posting another story to clarify that her father is not planning to return to coaching.
Nick Saban, who led Alabama to six national championships during his tenure, elected to retire following the 2023 season. He has since taken on new media roles, including with ESPN's College GameDay and NFL draft coverage. By all accounts, Saban appears to be enjoying his time away from the sidelines and has no plans to return to coaching in the near future.
