Published:
UPDATE: Alabama responded to the report of Nick Saban appearing on ESPN’s College GameDay, saying that the coach will not be a part of the broadcast.
For the second straight year, Nick Saban will be at the national championship game, but not as a coach. While Alabama fans won’t get to watch him stalk the sidelines, Saban will get to talk football with the crew of ESPN’s College GameDay on set, according to a report from AL.com.
Saban will join Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and Chris Fowler in Dallas as an analyst to get fans ready for the College Football Playoff Championship between Oregon and Ohio State. He’ll also be on set for the halftime show.
Saban joined the show last year for the Florida State-Auburn championship matchup. This year marks his third championship game appearance on the show, as he also joined ESPN’s set for the Oregon-Auburn BCS Championship game in 2011.
A former freelance journalist from Philadelphia, Brett has made the trek down to SEC country to cover the greatest conference in college football.
