He'll always take the call from LSU. But he'll say no.

LSU is ABSOLUTELY going to reach out to him. If for nothing else, because the Governor wants to make a big "splash" so he can tell everyone HE was the person who brought Saban back to LSU. Saban will listen. He might even dangle LSU along to raise the market price for the profession as a whole. The he will decline, leaving Gov. Landy stunned he couldn't talk Saban into taking the job.


It would be quite hypocritical of Saban to even entertain a phone call from LSU after he blasted Penn State for doing the same thing to James Franklin.

Saban said his first championship at LSU was his favorite so there’s a chance. The melt from Bama would be glorious!

You clearly don't watch then. Their chemistry is incredible. It is obvious he is having a fun time.

Seeing a current LSU coach named Saban doing Cane's commercials would sell lots of Caniacs Todd.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Franklin made the playoff last year and was still fired this year which in my opinion, was a mistake by Penn State. LSU on the other hand has not sniffed a playoff and had his players quitting on him.

He’s still close to a lot of people in and around the university including Woodward. Im sure he’d be open to a courtesy call (coach, what direction do you think we should go? What are your thoughts on coach x, y, z?) That said if has any Houston Nutt esque suggestions again we can go ahead and hang up.

I think that if NIL and transfer portal wasn't a thing, he'd consider it. But one of the big reasons he retired is because he didn't want to deal with all of the bullshite that NIL and transfer portal brought. and he's not chasing money. I just can't imagine he'd change his mind and get back in the game. Seems like he is having too much fun too.

Not sure he's enjoying making Quack commercials with Deion though.

I agree that I don’t see him at this age wanting to have anything to do with all the nonsense that floats around the game now, but it is fun speculation to think about seeing him back on an LSU sideline.

Lane’s son is a sophomore. Maybe Saban could hold the fort until Lane is ready to come.

Saban will be LSU's next AD. Book it.
That's my STRONG wish and hope.

He hates Mediocrity!

Would be great for LSU.

Get him in here and let him hire to next Head Football Coach.

Franklin didn’t get drug around his own house by A&M either. A&M fans took over the student section!!!

I am sure Saban would consider that enough cause.

He also said Alabama's food sucked and he only stayed a few more years because Hannah Barron blew up.
