Saban a serious candidate for LSU?

Nick Saban emerges as head coach candidate for major college football program

I just don't see this happening, but in today's world we have seen many surprising things.

 

[Krymsonman]

I certainly don't want to see him at LSU. The only place I might want to see him is back at BAMA.

 

[Saban4Ever]

He won’t coach again in my opinion.

 

[Snuffy Smith]

Me either but if he does what do we do with the field name?

 

[92tide]

this morning ole miss was supposedly giving lane kiffin an ultimatum.

it was bs

 

[64 Grad]

I don't think he will coach again, but seeing him at LSU could be interesting.

 

[Elefantman]

I hear Saban is getting the band back together.

He will be LSU HC, Lane will be his OC and Kirby his DC.

 

[92tide]

but pat mcafee will have a nice topic for his show tomorrow

 

[TideEngineer08]

Nope.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

What I've been reading is that Saban was contacted by LSU but that he's happy with what he's doing now and doesn't want to return to coaching.

I've seen the same thing.

It was reported earlier today that Saban did talk with LSU AD Verge Ausberry. However it was a discussion about who Saban would recommend as the next coach….not about returning. It was reported that CNS recommended Kiffin, Drink, or Jeff Brohm.

As a side note to my earlier post I don't think a coach has ever had a field named after them at one school only to come out of retirement and coach somewhere else. Now UF did name their field after Spurrier who later went to USCe but Florida only named the field in his honor in 2016 after he retired from USCe in 2015. Not saying it could never happen but it would seem a bit awkward.

we would have to bring back gary danielson as the announcer anytime he coached lsu on saban field

 

[Bama_N_Va]

Even if he went to LSU, how long could it be reasonably expected he could coach??? He is 74 now, correct?

 

[sanjosecrimson]

The fact this is being discussed blows me away.

 

[BamaFossil]

This is a ridiculous rumor. Saban is 74. He doesn't need the money. He doesn't need the NIL hassles. He doesn't need players' agents. He doesn't need the instant expectation for national championships if he were to reenter the coaching ranks. He doesn't need the potential for a tarnished legacy. He's the GOAT! Nothing left to prove.

Ridiculous rumor.

Trivia question: Who said “I won’t be the Head Coach at Alabama.”

 

[The Ols]

The fact this is being discussed blows me away.

He didn’t buy that house on Jupiter island to “live” in an office again…I also read somewhere, which definitely makes it true , that he’s closing in on being a billionaire…no need to do anything but stay in his lane and coast, stress free…

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

I don't think it really matters any more. Though, he went out on top I believe his best years are behind him as a coach. It wouldn't bother me a bit.
