00:00today in atlanta georgia no longer all-star festivities in major league baseball but our

00:05fourth and final day of scc media day is the four-day extravaganza and event at the site of

00:12the college football hall of fame yesterday drs up there was caitlin abhor for alabama about to

00:19enter year number two at the helm in tuscaloosa inconveniently during scc media days a report

00:26that the former head honcho in teatown nick saban wants to return to coaching after debor and the

00:33tide had a disappointing 2024 missing out on the college football playoff so of course debor was

00:39asked about it here's what the new head coach i guess at alabama had to say well i mean he's you

00:47know one of the greatest to ever do it and so uh he's earned the right to you know do what he wants

00:53i think the best part about uh what what coach saban's doing right now is that he's still involved

00:58in the game you know he's growing the game um he brings uh passion to it uh you know i enjoy when

01:06i get moments of you know on a saturday morning maybe we got a night game flipping on the tv and

01:11seeing not just him but the whole group uh game day and all the different different ways that they

01:17break things down um you know having a chance to see him once in a while uh you can just feel

01:23that uh you know he still has that uh love for the game um you know i think that you know my sense is

01:30that in that he's uh enjoyed doing it in the capacity he's doing it right now and uh but you

01:36know i think everyone who is close to him and um you know i know from the fan base standpoint uh can't

01:43help but want to you know him to be happy doing whatever he wants to do 74 years old drs that's

01:51nick saban he would turn 75 during this season if he were to turn were to return to coaching that's

01:58not going to happen as we discussed earlier on this week i do think nick saban's been pretty darn good

02:04on tv and i was very skeptical that he would be he used to do this weird thing when he would look at

02:10the camera while he was being interviewed instead of at the person who was standing right next to him

02:15and interviewing him so i didn't know how entertaining nick saban would be he's been

02:20pretty darn good on television i expect him to remain on tv shout out to kaylin abor for even having

02:26to answer that question yeah like he has that cachet it doesn't always work out and you're right because

02:31even some of the best athletes of all time jerry rice was embarrassing on television that's the best

02:37wide receiver in the history of the sport emmett smith was embarrassing on television that might

02:41be one of the best running backs we've ever seen so it's not the perfect transition for these players

02:46and coaches to just get behind the tv camera and you know just have a microphone in front of their

02:50face and it doesn't always work out but saban's been very good because you're right he does love the

02:54game he is passionate about the game he does have answers the questions that most people don't know

02:59hey coach when you're down seven at the break of an sec championship game what did you tell your

03:04team like he can answer those questions hey coach when your team's not looking so good you bring them

03:08back up and win a national championship he can answer those questions so he has the cachet and

03:13he's very good on camera and people will listen to what he has to say because he's usually a straight

03:18shooter when he gives you those answers and he's only getting more comfortable as time goes by on what

03:22you can and can't say how you can approach things and certainly one of those coaching fraternity

03:26things that you're never supposed to do criticize other individuals or teams will get better as the years

03:31go farther as he separated himself as a head coach

03:33you
