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.

No, the rumors are not true - Nick Saban is not returning to coaching. His daughter, Kristen, confirmed it as SEC Media Days wrapped up ahead of the 2025

Rumors began with former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy sharing that someone "in the know" and "notable" told him that Saban is not done coaching. That quote caught on like wildfire in Atlanta, with just about every coach with any connection to Saban fielding questions about his potential comeback during the week.
