Kristen Saban dismisses Nick Saban retirement rumors

Kristen Saban dismissed rumors surrounding her father Nick Saban's potential retirement, labeling such speculation as "silly" in an Instagram post.

The rumors gained traction after comments made on the ‘Next Round Podcast’ suggested the possibility of Saban ending his coaching career following the Rose Bowl.

​

On 'The Pat McAfee Show', Saban himself addressed the retirement chatter, attributing it to his age.

​

​

​

“Look, I ask everybody who asks me that question, 'Are you going to be here for four years?' Some players ask me when I'm going to retire. I look at them and say, 'Can you guarantee me that you're going to be here for four years?' They look at me like, 'Hell, no.'"

The 72-year-old coach humorously responded to inquiries, highlighting the unpredictable nature of college football careers, both for players and coaches.
