After weeks of people guessing whether legendary coach Nick Saban might return to football, we finally got the answer straight from him: he\u2019s not coming back, at least not anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Saban recently appeared on Fox & Friends<\/em> and made it clear that the rumours just aren\u2019t true. He joked that the only moment he even thought<\/em> about coaching again was two days ago, when his wife, Miss Terry, asked him to vacuum the entire downstairs of their home. While doing that chore, he thought to himself, \u201cYou know, coaching was a much better job than this.\u201d But even then, he laughed it off and didn\u2019t take it seriously.<\/p>\n

Saban said there\u2019s no job offer right now that would tempt him back into coaching. This comes after Fox Sports\u2019 Colin Cowherd stirred up speculation that the Cleveland Browns were trying to get Saban and might even promise to draft Arch Manning to make it more appealing. But Saban confirmed what his daughter Kristen had already said: he\u2019s happy in retirement and not interested in returning to the sidelines.<\/p>\n

If Saban ever did<\/em> consider coming back, it would probably have to be a deal where he had total control, like he did at Alabama, possibly as both coach and general manager. But for now, he\u2019s enjoying life away from football, and it doesn\u2019t sound like he\u2019s planning a comeback anytime soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
