LSU urged to hire top college football coach
Digest more
Nick Saban won seven titles during his college football coaching career from 1990-23, but following the 2023 season, he opted to retire from coaching. The former LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide head coach has since transitioned into a media role for ESPN, joining the beloved pregame show "College GameDay."
Unlike most coaches who enter the college football ranks, Saban left every stop on his own terms. The same can’t be said for Brian Kelly, whose tenure at LSU ended on Sunday when the former Notre Dame coach was fired following a 49–25 home loss to Texas A&M.
LSU AD Scott Woodward was predicted to reach out to Nick Saban about the head coaching job now available after Brian Kelly's firing.
Saban would, in theory, have his pick of whichever open job he would like if he were to return to coaching. The seven-time national champion and College Football Hall of Fame electee is one of the greatest football coaches of all time at any level and would inject enthusiasm into any program that hires him.
