While at SEC spring Meetings in Destin, Fla., Wednesday, Nick Saban was approached by an high-school student who snuck past security with offer to coach his favorite college football team.

“The kid offered me $5,000 to leave Alabama and go back to LSU,” Saban said, per Outkick’s Trey Wallace.

Saban added that “he was a cute kid” but it’s fair to say he won’t be taking him up on his offer. Saban made more than $9 million this past season for the Crimson Tide.

The LSU fan, who is not named, is a junior high-school student from Louisiana and was granted access after telling security he worked for a prominent media outlet that was also not named.
