Just months after hanging up his whistle, legendary Alabama Crimson Tide head football coach Nick Saban is set to re-enter the workforce.
This time, he'll be working as an analyst for ESPN, and his first assignment is going to be pretty massive.
Saban's on-air debut will be as a member of the commentary team for the 2024 NFL Draft:

That's a pretty big announcement, and it's well worth noting that the most Saban-esque thing possible is that he's the only member of that crew to not have a handle on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Though Saban isn't on social media, he will provide ESPN with some incredible first-hand knowledge of a handful of the players soon-to-be in the NFL. Per usual, multiple players from the Crimson Tide are expected to be drafted.
