The upcoming season is all about unexpected incidents and reunions, with Nick Saban retiring from coaching, taking new responsibilities, supporting his former Alabama fellow mate and what not!  Nick Saban may not be coaching anymore, but he’s still preparing for fall football season. In his new role as an ESPN analyst, the former Alabama coach prepares from a different perspective. If not from the field, he will support his favorite team from the panel.

Nick Saban joins the College GameDay crew this fall to give his insight on the coming Georgia Tech vs Florida state match but just commentary is not Nick’s style in between his rehearsals he is spotted out there supporting and assisting his former Alabama assistant Brent Key who is now the HC of the Yellow Jackets in Dublin before the ultimate match. 

Following the coming showdown today, @aldotcomTide shared some really wholesome pictures of Nick Saban and Brent Key on their Twitter handle saying “Nick Saban out supporting former Alabama assistant, Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key at practice in Dublin. Coach Saban makes his @CollegeGameDay debut Saturday ahead of the Yellow Jackets’ matchup with FSU in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic!” Both were standing together drinking coffee, discussing game dynamics just like old times.  

Brent Key was the offensive line coach at Alabama from 2016 to 2018 assisting under Nick Saban for the Crimson Tide, they played together for the national championship and finally won it in 2017 against Georgia. Well, the game is yet to start and we see the old buddies forming an alliance. Let’s see how the GameDay goes for Georgia Techs.
