Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristin, recently came across a disturbing and false rumor about her health this week. A viral post from a Facebook page called Bama Pride Hub claimed that Kristen had undergone brain tumor surgery as part of a battle against cancer.
The post included a photo of Kristen standing alongside her father, Nick, and mother, Terry Saban, at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The caption read:
“Kristen Saban, daughter of legendary coach Nick Saban, undergoes courageous brain tumor surgery in her brave fight against cancer. Full details IN CMT.”
However, Kristin set the record straight about the false report that sent her loved ones in panic.
“The internet is gross,” Kristin wrote in her Instagram story. “I’m not sick, thank the good Lord. But this is not funny one bit. Having family and friends calling me in a panic… not okay.”
Kristin also called out Bama Pride Club for their false reporting and is trying to shut down the page.
“Trying to get Bama Pride Hub shut down for all of their disgusting and false posts,” she added.
Nick Saban’s Daughter Shoots Down Rumors of a Coaching Return
It seems Nick Saban and his family are falling prey to false rumors this year. Before Kristin set the record straight on her health, she also clarified that his dad is not returning to coach in college football.
“Apparently some of y’all 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,” she said.

The rumor actually was first started by former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy, who said that someone “in the know” and “notable” told him that Saban may not be done coaching. This led to many in the league with close relationships with the former Alabama coach being asked about any potential development. But now, it seems Kristin has finally put a stop to those rumors.
Nick Saban himself brushed rumors during an interview on Fox & Friends.
“There is no opportunity that I know of right now that would enhance me to go back to coaching,” Saban said. “I enjoy what I’m doing. I did it for 50 years — I loved it. I loved the relationships with the players. I loved the competition. But it’s another station of life now.”
