Nick Saban possibly returning to coaching is a hot topic at SEC Media Days.
Former Alabama quarterback, Greg McElroy got the topic buzzing when he revealed ‘someone in the know’ feels Saban will return to coaching. This revelation sparked interest in the topic.
Former Saban assistant and the head football coach at Ole Miss Lane Kiffin was asked his thoughts on the possibility Monday in Atlanta at SEC Media Days.
“He’s not going to need me to hire him,” Kiffin told reporters. “I don’t think he’s done. I think he’ll be back. Whether that’s college or NFL, I think he’ll be back.”
Saban retired from coaching college football after the 2023 football season.
