A new rumor took over the college football world on Monday as former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy shared that he's heard Nick Saban could return to coaching college football. Saban himself has not commented on this yet, but it is not surprising that this rumor is now a focal point at the ongoing SEC Media Days.
Kirby Smart and Georgia are at Media Days on Tuesday, and Smart shared (jokingly) that he offered Saban a job at Georgia.
"I called and offered him Will Muschamp's job, but he was overqualified, so he wasn’t interested"
