Nick Saban dismisses Greg McElroy's claim he could return to coaching
Whether it was because of the content of his message or the timing of it — in the doldrums of July — Greg McElroy sent shockwaves through the college football world last month when he suggested that his former coach at Alabama, Nick Saban, hadn't necessarily roamed a sideline for the final time. It was news to Saban — to put it mildly. The legendary former Crimson Tide coach, who is entering his second season as a college football analyst for ESPN, dismissed McElroy's claim at the Nick Saban Legacy Awards in Birmingham, Alabama on Monday, Aug, 18 while poking fun at the quarterback of his 2009 BCS national championship team. REQUIRED READING: College football gifts: Nick Saban gets new hat, Lincoln Riley finds escape 'I don't know where that came from,' the 73-year-old Saban said. 'Greg McElroy played quarterback for us and if he had done something like that when he was a player, he would have gotten his (expletive) kicked.' McElroy — who also works as an ESPN college football analyst, technically making him Saban's colleague — said on his radio show on WJOX in Birmingham in July that he heard from a source 'very much in the know' that Saban wasn't done coaching. He added that he wouldn't have mentioned it publicly if it 'wasn't someone notable' who made the comment to him. In January 2024, about two weeks after Alabama lost to eventual national champion Michigan in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff, Saban retired after 17 seasons with the Crimson Tide. Saban won seven national championships as a head coach, six of which came at Alabama. As he prepares for another season as a panelist on ESPN's 'College GameDay,' Saban said he and his wife, Terry, 'don't have any regrets' about the decision to step away. "I have been part of a team since I was 9 years old playing little league baseball. I just had a tremendous fear that I would miss it,' Saban said. 'That part, I miss. But the working 14 hours per day, the recruiting, the changes that were going through in college football, the challenges that that presented was a little much at my age and the last year I coached."

ESPN Predicts Texas' Postseason Fate
ESPN Predicts Texas' Postseason Fate originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Texas Longhorns have their eyes on a third-straight College Football Playoff berth in 2025 under head coach Steve Sarkisian. Sarkisian has been to the semifinal round in 2023 and 2024 and comes into this season with a 38-17 overall record. ESPN's Mark Schlabach and Kyle Bonagura predicted how the CFP field would look on Friday. They both had Texas making the National Championship Game, but with different opponents. Schlabach had the Longhorns facing the Clemson Tigers, with Texas winning its first national title since 2005. Bonagura did not reveal his winner, but had Sarkisian and company take on the Penn State Nittany Lions. The last time Texas won a national title, it competed against the USC Trojans. Quarterback Vince Young scored the go-ahead touchdown run with under 30 seconds left in the game to defeat Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart 41-38. Fast forward to 2025, and Texas has a new quarterback under center in Arch Manning. The fate of Texas' playoff hopes may ride on if the young gunslinger lives up to the name on the back of his jersey. He has two starts to his name after coming in for Quinn Ewers, who suffered an oblique injury in the 31-12 Week 2 win over the Michigan Wolverines. Ewers played the next game against the UTSA Roadrunners, but was forced to exit. Speaking of quarterbacks, the 2025 Manning Award preseason watch list came out on Thursday, but was missing a key name. Manning was not included, even though he shares the last name of the award. Although he was excluded from the running, he is still making an impact at Texas through recruiting. Manning met with five-star edge rusher Zyron Forstall on a recent visit, and the two New Orleans, Louisiana, natives hit things off. The Longhorns begin their playoff journey on August 30 versus the Ohio State Buckeyes at Noon ET on story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 16, 2025, where it first appeared.
