Nick Saban is going to be coaching again next year

[Quaoarsking]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I see him coaching high school if anything.

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.

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.

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

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)

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

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
