Former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban was the talk of the town this week in Atlanta at SEC Media Days when a rumor emerged that wanted to return to coaching.
Many doubted and debunked the idea throughout the week, but according to one of the best sources possible, the claim is not true.

Saban’s daughter Kristen took to Instagram yesterday to do a bit of trolling, posting a cryptic video of her father walking out of the tunnel before a second post told fans he’s not coming back:
“He’s not coming back to coaching, hate to break it to you,” Kristen said with a laughing emoji. “You had your time.”
