Kalen DeBoer discussed how much Nick Saban has been around Alabama football this season on Wednesday.
Saban has crossed over and become a media member since retiring from coaching.
However, he is still an employee at the University of Alabama and has an office on campus.
Saban has attended multiple Alabama home games this season, but he has kept his distance outside of that, per DeBoer.
“He has really tried to keep his distance,” DeBoer said during Wednesday’s coaches teleconfernce. “He is trying to allow us to do our things as a staff. He knows he is welcome here anytime. I feel that way here just like I would have at other places where great coaches have been before me. I‘ve had this a few different times with retired coaches who live in the area. But Coach Saban has certainly tried to be over the top respectful, even though he doesn’t need to be.”
