    Kristen Saban Sends Clear Message To Alabama Fans Hoping For Nick Saban’s Return To College Football

    Legendary Alabama head coach Nick Saban retired from coaching following the 2023 college football season. He ended his tenure with Alabama, which stretched back to 2007, winning six national championships with the team along the way. After so much success, many fans have hoped he would consider returning to the team.

    Nick Saban and his wife, Terry, have two children, Nicholas and Kristen. On Thursday, Kristen made a post on her Instagram story, which added fuel to the fire when it comes to the possibility of Saban returning to coaching college football. She posted an old video of Saban walking out to a game during his coaching days.

    “Alabama’s walkout. Damn, I miss this,” Kristen Saban wrote.

    “Apparently some of yall feel trolled by my last story of nick’s walkout… He’s not coming back to coaching, hate to break it to you. You had your time,” Kristen Saban wrote.

    Kristen Saban Attended the University of Alabama During Nick Saban’s Coaching Days

    While Nick Saban was coaching, his kids were growing up. According to Kristen Saban’s LinkedIn account, she attended the University of Alabama during Nick’s tenure as the Crimson Tide’s head coach. She got a degree in Human Environmental Sciences in 2013. While she is not as involved in football as her father, she has worked in the football world.

    For six months from late 2013 to early 2014, Kristen Saban was a sales assistant for the Tennessee Titans in the NFL. She has served on the board of directors for Nick’s Kids Foundation since 2020.

    Nick Saban is known for his intensity as a head coach, and according to People, that translated to his parenting style. He has spoken previously about his relationship with his kids and how it mirrors how his players view him. However, he admitted that his granddaughter, Amelie, is not scared of him like everyone else.

    “My kids were always afraid of me,” Saban said. “And most of the players are a little afraid of me. But little Amelie, she’s not afraid of me at all. And I expect her to be afraid of me and she’s not. It’s kind of shocking, actually. I mean, I’m really, really moved by that. It means that through the years, I’ve mellowed enough that some little one that I love isn’t afraid of me. And I really appreciate that.”

    Saban has transitioned to a broadcasting position in his post-coaching career.
