Greg McElroy chose the perfect time to float the rumor about Nick Saban potentially returning to coach because it’s been top of mind for everyone at SEC Media Days, and that’s led to some absolute gold. Especially considering the number of coaches in the conference who were once on Saban’s staff at Alabama as an assistant coach.
Kirby Smart was the latest Saban protégé to chime in on the topic when he spoke at SEC Media Days on Tuesday. Smart joked about making Saban an offer and maybe jokingly or maybe astutely pointed out that the decision to return to the sidelines may not be the greatest coach of all time’s to make.
