LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – At SEC Media Days, Nick Saban has become – forgive the Alabama mascot-themed pun – the elephant in the room. Actually, he’s not even that, because the notion of his return to coaching, first floated by one of his former players, ESPN commentator Greg McElroy, has been a topic of open discussion.

Former Alabama QB Greg McElroy made news at SEC Media Days on his radio show stating people in the know think Nick Saban might coach again. Then he was surprised that comment went viral?

It has been 18 months since Nick Saban announced his retirement from coaching. In that time, he joined ESPN to serve as a TV analyst, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and even had Alabama's field renamed after him.

One of the unofficial starts to the season is taking place in Atlanta, as SEC Media Days is already halfway over. Some of the country’s top players are in the conference, including quarterbacks. Everyone seems to have differing opinions on who the conference’s top guys are.

On his podcast "Always College Football," ESPN's Greg McElroy mentioned that some believe Oklahoma State can return to contention in the conference; however, he does not share that optimism.
