Nick Saban’s daughter is not on board with all the speculation about her father potentially returning to coaching.
Kristen Saban inadvertently stoked the chatter on Thursday by sharing an Instagram video of Saban leading one of his Alabama teams out of the tunnel. The video was captioned “damn, I miss this.”
In a follow-up post, Saban made clear that the video should not be taken as a sign of anything.
“Apparently some of y’all feel trolled by my last story of Nick’s walkout. He’s not coming back to coaching, hate to break it to you,” Saban wrote. “You had your time.”
Speculation has ramped up this week, with both Lane Kiffin and Greg McElroy suggesting that Saban might not be completely done with coaching. One of Saban’s former coaches, however, is backing Saban’s daughter on this.
On the other hand, Kristen did not even know for sure when her father was retiring. If Saban did decide to come back, the world probably would not know about until he said so himself.
