Nick Saban Reveals Plans For Taking Over Lee Corso's Headgear Picks
With Lee Corso on his way out the door after 38 seasons as part of ESPN's College GameDay, the television program's mascot headgear picks tradition won't be the same. It's not likely that former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban takes over in that department. But he didn't completely rule it out, either. Advertisement "Emmy Award-winner Nick Saban on whether he will take over headgear picks from Lee Corso on College Gameday: 'I hope not ... But that's probably not my decision,'" Bama 247's Mike Rodak wrote Tuesday on X, referencing Saban's interview on "The Rick Burgess Show" last week. Corso, a former collegiate head coach, has become a beloved personality to those passionate about the sport. 'Lee Corso is a phenomenal person,' Saban said. 'A real professional, has been a part of the show and the tradition of the show for 20-something years. We're all gonna miss him.' Nick Saban spoke during the NFL Draft on his biggest recruiting Sports Corso has made 430 mascot headgear selections, sporting a 286-144 record. He's chosen the Ohio State Buckeyes 45 times and Alabama 38. A bulk of the latter came during Nick Saban's time in charge of the program. Advertisement Along with his television duties, Saban could soon have something else on his plate as the powers that be try to figure out how to solve college football's issues. "I know there's been a lot of stuff out there about some commission or whatever," Saban said Tuesday. "I don't think we need a commission. I've said that before. I think we need -- we know what the issues are, we just have to have people who are willing to move those and solve those and create some solutions for some of those issues. "I'm all for being a consultant to anybody who would think that my experience would be beneficial to helping create some of those solutions."
