More than a year removed from his coaching retirement, Nick Saban still casts a specter over SEC football. While the league remains the deepest in college football, replete with national championship contenders, one of the biggest stories at this week's SEC media days in Atlanta centered on rumors that the former Alabama and LSU coach could return to the sideline.
Rumors began with former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy sharing that someone "in the know" and "notable" told him that Saban is not done coaching. That quote caught on like wildfire in Atlanta, with just about every coach with any connection to Saban fielding questions about his potential comeback during the week.
