Nick Saban is going to be coaching again next year

[Coach34]

Rumor on SECRant today that LSU is in talks with him if Kelly fails to make the playoff this season matches what Im hearing around my LSU friends.

[DownwardDawg]

I mean....it's been all over the internet for a couple of days. Auburn was the first rumor. LMAO!!!!!!

He 100% ain't going to auburn and I'd bet a big chunk he won't go to LSU. What a shithole town for him and Mrs Terry. No way.

[Coach34]

He would go to LSU in a heartbeat. He admitted in an interview he messed up leaving LSU

[EdwardDrayton]

About as much of a chance as him coaching you on your next year of board predictions.

[AlSwearengen]

Unless he is just miserable not being a coach, I don’t understand it.

[Skydawg1]

He would go to LSU in a heartbeat. He admitted in an interview he messed up leaving LSUMessed up leaving for the NFL. Not for Bama. 6 natties, 4 Heismans.

[viverlibre]

He won't coach anywhere next year, or ever again.

[Todd4State]

I would fire Lebby tomorrow if it meant that Nick Saban would be our coach.

And I like Lebby.

Honestly, a place like MSU would be a good retirement hobby for him. We don't have stupid high expectations. He could and would easily win as much as Jackie did in his prime here. Would attract immediate attention to MSU and we would become more of a factor in recruiting and in the portal. He would give MSU a shot in the arm that is desperately needs in football.

I agree!! Man I'd love that. But Nick wouldn't ever come to State. He ain't coaching again. If he does, it'll be somewhere "smallish".

Todd Lebby would even do that

We say our expectations wouldn't be high, but be honest, if Saban was our coach everybody on this board would start thinking about not just making the playoffs, but making some noise once there.

If Saban was our coach the expectations would be national championship or bust. Hell, coming off 2-10 and the roster still in a bit of a reloading mode, if Saban was our coach this year people would expect a national championship. Hell, he's not our coach and we'll still have people pissed off to hell and back when Georgia and Texas beat us this year.

[Tater]

Saban regrets not taking the IMG head coaching job when it was offered.

I see him coaching high school if anything.

Oh really?

"On Monday, former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy said he's hearing the seven-time national champion will return to coaching.

McElroy shared his report about the 73-year-old during Monday morning's "McElroy & Cubelic in the Morning" show."

It's one of two things:

1. Whoever told that to McElroy, spoke to Saban and Saban said that he missed coaching. Which is not unnormal, I think any coach that doesn't coach anymore always gets the itch to coach around this time every year. Because for however many years they've coached, this was always the time that things started getting ramped up. For Saban, and most SEC coaches, they would've gotten back from their vacation homes on Lake Norman late last week and they start to gear up for the grind.

2. Saban thinks that the NIL stuff is in a much better place and it's not as wild west as it was when he stepped down.

Not smart fans

[viverlibre]

These type stories are just low hanging click bait that require nothing but speculation and imagination and are aimed at fans thirsting for any football during the summer dead period. At 72, it very likely Saban isn?t getting back into coaching. If he did, i could only see him taking an NFL job, IF it gnaws at him that his time at Miami wasn?t successful.

IF LSU did fire BK (very unlikely) hopefully Salmon is on the phone with him the same day.

[TrapGame]

100% absolutely TRUE.

It would not surprise me if LSU cans Kelly with an 8-4 winning record to bring back Saban. We build statues for coaches that keep us a perennial 8-4 while LSU fires theirs'.

[State82]

Mike Detillier said this morning he does not see that ever happening. And Mike has his finger on the pulse of the football world about as well as anyone, especially in Louisiana.

[Quaoarsking]

Absolutely. Saban won't take a job if the NIL isn't set up for him to be a national championship contender, so in the 1/10,000 chance that he comes to coach us, that means we've done what it takes to get him interested, just like we did what it took to get O'Connor interested.

Of course he?s not coming back. Only an idiot buys these click bait stories that are crafted to fill the summer void. No harm in having fun with these type stories, but don?t believe them.

Why would Saban regret not coaching IMG Academy? The States of Georgia, Texas, and California have directed their members not to schedule IMG? Also IMG is not eligible for post season play because it does not adhere to Florida rules for player eligibility, thus no post season for the outlaws. This is IMG and would Saban put his reputation into this football environment?

It's close to home (just opposite coast of jupiter) and he's already got his hands plenty involved there. He enjoy coaching young kids to become men. Winning isn't what drove him anymore - it's seeing the kids grow up. That academy style would scratch that itch.

Yeah, LSU is a shithole but have you spent any appreciable time in Tuscaloosa? It's better than BR but not by much.

[Turfdawg67]

Messed up leaving for the NFL. Not for Bama. 6 natties, 4 Heismans.

They made him an offer he couldn't refuse... highest paid forever plus the best NIL, before there was an NIL (allegedly of course)

[Activated Alpha]

It would be State's luck that we hired Saban, we get all the hype, he has us going after his 1st year and then he dies soon after in the offseason

[Coach34]

Saban said he regretted leaving LSU because he loved his job there and said he couldnt have a better job- butttttttt the allure of the NFL lured back. He quickly realized he preferred college coaching. Saban would have done the same shit at LSU he did at Bama

SECRant? Lol that Web site has the craziest of the crazy

[msudawglb]

Man, if Saban came to MSU, he would kill over within a season or two. His heart wouldn?t be able to handle the dumbass play we are capable of. And it would take a few years to get his kind of talent so that the play could be closer to his expectations. It would be like a PhD professor going to teach finger painting to preschoolers.

But...hear me out...there are retired PhD art professors that love teaching young kids the basics and fundamentals of art.

And it would definitely be our luck Saban kicks the bucket after three seasons. We make the playoffs, finish like #8 in the country, beat OM three years in a row and then Saban passes away in the summer before camp throwing everything into utter chaos.

Hahahahaha!!!! Saban made LSU his bitch.

[Todd4State]

You sure about that?

Absolutely. If you win 7 games a year on average and beat Ole Miss more than you lose to them you can get your name in the ring of honor at MSU.

No doubt he would have done the same at LSU as he did at Bama. LSU also has the resources.

You're just an LSU troll these days. You believe everything they tell you and post it on here as fact. Look at Ace.

You mean where I said he was dealing with LSU and I'll be damned- turned out I was correct? I'm happy we held on just like you are
