That includes former Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer, who spoke with Colin Cowherd about Coach Saban, and a potential return. Meyer had an interesting perspective, with a prediction we hadn’t heard yet. "I would say very little to no chance [Nick Saban] would get involved in college. But I think he would take phone calls from the NFL."

ESPN analyst Greg McElroy uncorked on his Birmingham radio show that he’d heard from someone “in the know” that Nick Saban had interest in returning to coaching.
