Over the last few days, rumors have been circulating about Nick Saban returning to coaching next year. He'll be 74 by then, but as shown by his work for ESPN's "College GameDay," he still has a profound passion for the sport.

Kristen Saban, Nick's daughter, shut down rumors of her father's return, bluntly posting "he's not coming back to coaching. McElroy, Saban's former quarterback and college football analyst, began the rumor on his radio show that the seven-time national champion would return to coaching at some point.

Nick Saban stepped away from coaching after the 2023 season, departing Alabama as arguably the greatest coach in college football history. The 73-year-old impressed in his first year with ESPN, serving primarily as an analyst on College GameDay, but it would not shock anyone if he still has the competitive juices flowing.
