Might one of many nice head coaches in faculty soccer historical past be contemplating a return to the sidelines?
Greg McElroy, a former nationwide championship-winning beginning quarterback underneath Nick Saban, has heard from an individual “within the know” that there’s a perception that Saban will return to teaching.
The previous Alabama QB stated this on “McElroy and Cubelic within the Morning” on Monday:
“This can be a little bit out of left area, however the query was requested of me .. .a really a lot in-the-know individual that I’ve loads of respect for and have spent loads of time round, simply actually, actually admire. They appear to suppose Nick Saban’s not executed teaching … He is fairly adamant that he thinks Nick Saban will likely be teaching once more.”
Nevertheless, when requested by Brett McMurphy of On3.com a couple of attainable Saban return, McElroy stated, “I do not suppose he is coming again. I believe he is utterly fulfilled with what he is doing, however some suppose he misses the competitors and would contemplate coming again. However I do not purchase that.”
Regardless of the hypothesis, the return of Saban appears unlikely.
The seven-time nationwide champion would not appear within the NFL. After he introduced his retirement from Alabama, Saban was vital of the present local weather of faculty soccer, so would he even need to return?
Some Alabama followers is likely to be down on present Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer, however the Tide could possibly be set for a bounce-back season. And the place else would Saban need to coach?
It is laborious to check him teaching at one other SEC program. If Saban did return, certainly, he would need to coach someplace he may win a nationwide championship.
Perhaps if Alabama had a gap within the subsequent few seasons, a return could possibly be attainable. However outdoors of that, or attempting his hand within the NFL once more, it seems like Saban has retired his teaching headset.
So whereas it is likely to be enjoyable to consider the G.O.A.T. returning to varsity soccer to chase extra nationwide championships, it is most likely not taking place.
