    Nick Saban is going to be coaching again next year

    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.

    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.

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

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

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

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

    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".

    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.

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

    I see him coaching high school if anything.

    "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.

    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.

    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'.

    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.
