Nick Saban’s daughter Kristen Saban throws clear jab at LSU after ex-Alabama HC gets linked as Brian Kelly’s replacement

Nick Saban's daughter, Kristen, came to her father's support when she saw a fan seemingly comment on his rumored links to LSU. An IG post that went viral showed Nick and his wife, Miss Terry, pictured together at Coleman Coliseum to watch Alabama's basketball team in action against Purdue on Thursday.

Amid rumors linking Nick back to LSU, a fan commented on the post, saying she was "glad" the seven-time national champion winning coach was not in Baton Rouge. When Kristen saw the comment, she responded to the fan while aiming a dig at LSU.

"Same," Kristen commented, followed by a green sick-face emoji.

Although it's unclear whether the fan was taking a shot at Saban, Kristen's reaction suggests she is not a big fan of her father returning to LSU.

LSU fired Brian Kelly from his coaching role last week. Since then, Saban has been among the names rumored to take the job.

Notably, Saban won his first national title at LSU in the 2003 season. He won six more championships at Alabama.

Saban compiled a 292–71–1 record as a coach at the collegiate level. He is set to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in December.

Although Saban has been rumored to return to coaching, Kristen often hints on social media that he plans to remain retired.
