BREAKING: Nick Saban Causes A Stir With LSU Admission Before Alabama Game
Former Alabama coach Nick Saban surprised the football world this offseason by stepping down from his role as head coach, marking the end of an era. Reflecting on his time at Alabama, Saban shared, “The University of Alabama has been a very special place to Terry and me. We’ve cherished every moment of our 17 years as head coach here and our connection to the Tuscaloosa community.”
He continued, “It’s not just about the wins and losses; it’s about the legacy and the way we approached it. Our goal was always to help players create value for their future, become the best they could be, and find success in life through this program. I hope we’ve achieved that, and Alabama will always be home to us.”
But just a few months later, Saban made headlines once again with an unexpected appearance in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he visited ahead of ESPN’s *College GameDay* before the Alabama-LSU showdown. During his visit, Saban took the time to speak to the LSU women’s basketball team, offering them valuable insights on achieving success both on and off the court. He concluded with a lighthearted nod to his enduring connection to LSU, admitting, “I still root for LSU all the time, except when they play Alabama.”
Fans were stunned by Saban’s candid words. One joked, “Hell done froze over, what the HELL…” while another simply responded with “????” in disbelief.

Some fans even entertained the idea of Saban returning to LSU. “So when Brian Kelly’s done, can we have Nick back?” one asked, while another playfully suggested, “At this point, just come back to LSU.”
As Alabama prepares to face LSU this weekend, Saban will be cheering for the Crimson Tide—but it seems he won’t be too disappointed if his former team pulls off an upset.
