Nick Saban's Daughter Makes Coaching Career Announcement
Nick Saban's daughter, Kristen, made an announcement regarding his coaching career this week.
The daughter of the legendary Alabama Crimson Tide head coach officially responded to the comeback rumors on Thursday afternoon. Earlier this week, former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Greg McElroy fanned the rumor flames, with a telling comment. He suggested that Saban, who retired following the 2023 season, could return to coaching.
He's since tried to walk back his comments, though.
"All it is is like, 'People in the know tell Greg McElroy Saban's open to returning to the sideline,'' McElroy told On3's JD Pickell. 'Like, 'No, no, I didn't say that!' … It was literally like a throwaway line and none of us thought it was gonna take off the way it (did).'
He continued.
"All it is is like, 'People in the know tell Greg McElroy Saban's open to returning to the sideline,'' McElroy said. 'Like, 'No, no, I didn't say that!' … It was literally like a throwaway line and none of us thought it was gonna take off the way it (did).'
McElroy knows what he did, though. You can't say someone in the know suggested that Saban might return to coaching and expect that it won't make headlines.
On Thursday, Kristen Saban responded to them.
Kristen Saban made it clear: her dad is not coming back.
She posted a video on social media of her dad walking out of the tunnel with Alabama players, sparking some speculation. However, she quickly clarified.
"Apparently some of y'all feel trolled by my last story of Nick's walkout," she wrote, referring to her dad by his first name.
"He's not coming back to coaching, hate to break it to you. You had your time."
It seems like Saban is going to continue to stick with ESPN's "College GameDay" moving forward.

Treylon Burks being evaluated after injuring shoulder in practice
Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks said recently that he hopes to stay healthy so he can show what he's capable of doing on the field, but that plan has hit a snag. Head coach Brian Callahan told reporters on Saturday that Burks is being evaluated for a shoulder injury. Burks left the team's practice at Nissan Stadium after making a diving catch. Callahan said the team will update the wideout's condition when they have more information. Burks is returning from a torn ACL that limited him to five games last season. The 2022 first-round pick also missed 12 games over his first two NFL seasons, so the team has plenty of experience playing without him over the last three years. UPDATE 2:50 p.m. ET: NFL Media reports Burks fractured his collarbone.

Report: Treylon Burks fractured his collarbone
Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks injured his shoulder during Saturday's practice at Nissan Stadium and the initial report about his condition suggests he's going to miss time with the injury. NFL Media reports that Burks fractured his collarbone while making a catch during the workout. The wideout is still undergoing tests to determine the severity of the injury and establish a timeline for recovery, but the report says he is expected to miss the start of the regular season at the very least. It's an unfortunate and familiar predicament for Burks. The 2022 first-round pick missed 12 games over his first two seasons and he missed the final 12 games of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL. Burks has 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown when he has been healthy enough to play. Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, and Tyler Lockett are joined by fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in the Titans' receiving corps. The Burks injury could help undrafted rookie Xavier Restrepo's chances of sticking with college teammate Cam Ward through the cut to 53 players.
