This notion of Saban being available at the end of the season....

IS a wild fantasy for Tiger fans.
Firstly
[1] He is 74 years old and how long can he coach
[2] He is the GOAT and has nothing to prove. This will be his post retirement hobby. I do not think he will have the same fire and intensity.
[3] NIL levels the playing field and his superb ability to recruit and create a disproportionate competitive advantage will be blunted. That is why he quit in the first place.
[4] Please remember $9.5 million × 6 = $57 million in buyout is untenable in the era of NIL for a poor school with a poor alumni base in a poor state.
[5] If you offered the previous guy $9.5 million over 10 years, Saban will want $13 -$15 million over the next 10 years even at 74. So the total price will be:
$200 million over the next 10 for a poor school in a poor state with a poor alumni base ( We do not have Michael Dell, Jerry Jones, Sam Walton or oil billionaires )

It was something Greg McElroy mentioned on his radio show to get attention… it worked. Now let’s move on. If he coaches again, it would be at Bama

Some people saying he’d go back to Bama. I call BS. If anything, he goes back to the NFL for shits and giggles.

After Kelly loses at least 3 games again this season I have no problem firing him and paying Saban whatever he wants. LSU can afford it.

Every summer someone drums up a clickbait story. Welcome to this years.

He was falling off at the end there for a while.
Riding legacy & image/perception of the program he’d built at Bama. Still losing games they had no business losing.
Loved the guy here, but no thanks even if he was available (he won’t be).

Amazing what happens when fields are leveled. NIL made what he was doing from 2000 to 2023 legal. Same thing happened to Bear Bryant when he couldn't have football players on golf, swimming and etc scholarships.

Why?
He's 74 years old and NIL is still around which is why he retired in the first place.
He ain't coaching again unless he's trying to have a heartattack on the sideline.
