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

The rumors began circulating in earnest on Monday after former Crimson Tide quarterback Greg McElroy said on “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning” that he was informed by a trustworthy source that Saban — who now works as a panelist on ESPN’s “College GameDay” — would return to coaching in the future.
