Most ridiculous rumour coming out of SEC Media Days. Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Greg McElroy brought some of the rumors into the atmosphere during an interview on the "Mac and Cube" radio show in Birmingham. "A very much in-the-know person that I have a lot of respect for and have spent a lot of time around and just really, really admire, they seem to think Nick Saban is not done coaching," McElroy said. "He’s pretty adamant that he thinks Nick Saban will be coaching again." McElroy did say he believed, personally, Saban was finished during an appearance on ESPN. "I’d be shocked (if he came back). … There are people connected to the sports world that think he’s not done. Now, interpret that however you will. People that would be somewhat knowledgeable about something like this, yes," he said.
I’ve been reading these rumors for the last couple of days. It would surprise me if Saban did return to coaching at his age and with the changes that are taking place in college football. He is apparently in good health though. There are also a lot of stories going around about how he is enjoying having more time with his family so I don’t know. Stranger things have happened.
