The rumors and reports swirling around Nick Saban's potential coaching return can be put to rest... for now, at least. Saban's own daughter, Kristen, took to social media Thursday to confirm that her father will not be patrolling the sidelines at any level, be it college or the NFL, any time soon.

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.

The rumors began circulating in earnest on Monday after former Crimson Tide quarterback Greg McElroy said on “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning” that he was informed by a trustworthy source that Saban — who now works as a panelist on ESPN’s “College GameDay” — would return to coaching in the future.
