Nick Saban’s biggest fan is none other than his daughter, Kristen Saban. Saban’s daughter is always following the world of football, and she’s always there to support her dad in the most important moments of his career.
Having grown up around the biggest dynasty the sport has ever produced, there’s no doubt that football season is an important moment of the year for Kristen. It seems that she has taken her father’s change from coach to analyst on ESPN’s College GameDay in stride, with her recently telling fans she is as excited for the football season itself as she is for seeing her father’s second season with the famous college football show.
On an Instagram story posted on Thursday, she reposted a video of her father on the College GameDay set last season. She added the following caption to the story:
“When they ask me if I’m ready for football season to be back, I say nah, I’m ready for unhinged Nick on Gameday season to be back” Wrote Nick Saban’s daughter
Saban retired from coaching shortly after the end of the 2023 season, and shortly afterwards, it was announced that he would join College GameDay as an analyst for the 2024 season. While some fans thought this might be a temporary move, it has turned out to be a long-term decision for Saban, as he’s set to return for a second season of the show in 2025.
However, there are always rumours that if a position like “college football commissioner” were to be invented, due to the amount of changes the sport is going through at the moment, Nick Saban would be the prime candidate to take the job. This possibility has even been brought up by President Donald Trump.
Nick Saban is not part of the SEC Network’s media days coverage
ESPN’s fellow network, the SEC Network, has announced the coverage teams for SEC Media Days, and there’s a surprising name missing from the list. Nick Saban isn’t part of the coverage of the media days of the conference, in which he was a coach for two decades.
The event will take place between July 14-17 in Atlanta, Georgia, and the SEC Network’s coverage team is made up of Paul Finebaum, Jordan Rodgers, Greg McElroy, Roman Harper, Benjamin Watson, Chris Doering, Dusty Dvoracek, Randall Cobb, and Cole Cubelic. Laura Rutledge, Dari Nowkhah, Peter Burns, and Alyssa Lang will serve as studio hosts.
