   Now that Brian Kelly is gone, it's time for the coaching search to begin. For me personally, the only correct choice for LSU to make is bring back Nick Saban. 

   It can be done. Nick Saban has gone on to have a fun career co-hosting on ESPN's College Gameday. But you can see the fire still burning in his eyes. He shows his brilliance and passion when he has his game film break down segments on the show. 

   If Saban hasn't had thought's or an interest in returning to coaching, then he isn't human, especially with the LSU job opening up last night.

   There are other coaches in Saban's age range currently coaching. Pete Carroll with the Las Vegas Raiders, Bill Belichick at North Carolina and Kirk Ferentz at Iowa. 

    Remember, Coach Saban and his wife Terry loved their time in Baton Rouge, making lifelong friends and creating roots here that they will always consider home.  When her husband took the Miami Dolphins job, Terry Saban was devastated to leave Baton Rouge. You better believe that Nick and Terry would love to return and reunite with the purple and gold. 

   Nick Saban could give LSU at least five solid seasons. Bring the program back to dominance while also hand picking his top assistant coach who will be "head coach in waiting" to step in and take over when the master finally decides to step down for good. Saban has proved time and time again that he knows how to hire talented, up and coming assistants and coordinators who are the perfect fit for the program. Some have gone on to be successful head coaches. Kirby Smart, Lane Kiffin, Steve Sarkisian and Dan Lanning have all gone on to successful head coaching careers after working under Saban. 

   Also, what young man wouldn't want the opportunity to play for Nick Saban??  Top rated recruits and top players in the transfer portal would be banging at the door to have the opportunity to play for the greatest coach in the history of college football. As well as claiming to have been part of Nick Saban's return to Baton Rouge and part of another Saban led LSU national championship.

   Saban's road to greatness began at LSU in 2000. What better way to end your career by going full circle, returning to where your journey began and finish it off there. Nick Saban has admitted leaving LSU for the NFL was to biggest mistake of his coaching career.  

   Many have said, it would never happen. But never say never! LSU has everything that Saban would look for in a return to coaching. The in-state talent, the facilities, deep pocket supporters and an incredible NIL department and staff that is the best in the nation and takes a back seat to no one. Something he didn't have (a major NIL support staff) at Alabama when he decided to step down.  

   LSU needs to make this happen. Do whatever it takes to bring the legend back to Baton Rouge. The LSU athletics department won't be sorry. He would bring us another national championship and future stability to the program. Nick Saban belongs back in the bayou. Now is the right time for it to happen and when it does, it will be the top story of the football world. With Saban's return to LSU, the national coverage would reach incredible heights. 

​   Make it happen Scott Woodward. Contact Nick Saban's agent now and bring him back home.
