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.

Report – Inter Milan Slap Price Tags On France & Germany Stars Amid Pursuit Of Genoa & Parma Youngsters
Inter Milan are reportedly open to selling Benjamin Pavard and Yann Bisseck to raise funds for their defensive targets. According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, Cristian Chivu's men have already named prices for these out-of-favor aces. Inter's pursuit of Ademola Lookman tops the club's list of priorities. However, the resolution of this long-running saga looks close, and the Nerazzurri will then focus on other deals. Yet, Lookman's arrival would leave the San Siro giants cash-strapped. Inter Milan Set Price Tags on Benjamin Pavard & Yann Bisseck SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – JUNE 20: Benjamin Pavard of FC Internazionale Milano faces the media during the Training/Press Conference ahead of their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 match between FC Internazionale Milano and Urawa Red Diamonds at Virginia Mason Athletic Center on June 20, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by) Lookman's transfer would push Inter's total summer spending beyond €110 million. Therefore, the club must raise funds from summer sales. Benjamin Pavard is among the potential candidates to leave Serie A in the coming weeks. However, the Frenchman only wants to join a top European club, while Inter won't let him go for less than €25m. Meanwhile, Yann Bisseck has drawn inquiries from the Premier League. In addition to West Ham, Manchester United are also in the mix, with Inter requesting up to €40m to cut him loose.

Patients overcoming pediatric illnesses were honored during Atlanta United's Pediatric Illness Awareness match against the Seattle Sounders on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta United partnered with the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta to honor the strength and resiliency of patients during the match. Barzi, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, which caused him to have his leg amputated, walked on stage to hit the golden spike. He also designed a special scarf for the match that highlighted special moments of his life. Alejandro, who lives with sickle cell anemia, served as Atlanta United's honorary captain. Colton, who was diagnosed with b-cell acute lymphatic leukemia two years ago, rang the honorary bell at halftime. For him, it was a special ceremony that marked the end of his cancer treatment. And Rowan, an avid Atlanta United fan who recently had his appendix removed at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Arthur M. Blank Hospital, was the in-stadium graphic designer.

Manchester City reject £25 million offer for James McAtee
Officials at Manchester City have reportedly rejected an opening offer for James McAtee from Nottingham Forest, according to new developments. City remain open to sanctioning a sale of the attacking midfielder, but only if their valuation is met and perhaps if the terms of any departure include favourable clauses, such as a buy-back or sell-on agreement. McAtee, who impressed in two loan spells at Sheffield United in the Championship and Premier League despite their relegation from the latter, is currently attracting significant interest across the Premier League and beyond. Manchester City's long-standing stance has been to command a permanent fee in the region of £40 million for McAtee, moving closer towards the fee they secured from Chelsea for Cole Palmer in 2023. With homegrown quotas and squad space tightening at the Etihad Stadium, and the emergence of other young midfielders such as Sverre Nypan and Claudio Echeverri, a permanent departure is viewed as the most likely outcome this summer. However, despite the club being prepared to part ways with the Salford-born starlet, Manchester City are not under pressure to sell quickly and there is confidence within the club that McAtee's valuation will only grow as the window progresses and as more clubs assess their own creative midfield options closer to deadline day. Now, according to the information of Sky Sports News' Pete Graves, Nottingham Forest have had an offer in the region of £25 million rejected by Manchester City for James McAtee. It is detailed that Forest are 'pushing' for an agreement over the England Under-21 international star while Manchester City are holding out for a bigger fee, with other clubs interested. Forest's interest comes as the club seeks to bolster its midfield options, and McAtee's blend of technical control, final-third productivity, and versatility makes him a priority target, and the Midlands club are expected to return with an improved offer. Beyond Forest, there is also interest from Bundesliga clubs and other Premier League outfits. Brighton are believed to remain attentive to the situation, while West Ham United and Everton are also known admirers. As for City, the situation is unlikely to drag into late August if a club is willing to meet their demands, although the club would prefer to resolve McAtee's future before the start of the competitive campaign, particularly with Pep Guardiola looking to streamline his ranks. Should Forest return with an improved proposal in the coming days – perhaps closer to the £35 million – and agree to any clause demands, a deal could move quickly. However, with other clubs monitoring developments, there is no shortage of options for both the player and Manchester City in the weeks ahead.
