Kristen’s 3-Word Tribute to Retired Nick Saban’s Grandkid Moment Leaves Lasting Mark on His Football Legacy

Nick Saban may have hung up the headset in Tuscaloosa, but if you caught daughter Kristen’s latest Instagram story, it sure looks like the legendary coach could be back. Just not in the kind of arena you’d expect. After decades of pacing the sideline and sculpting Alabama into a colossus, the GOAT might now be trading playbooks for pins in a new chapter that’s less about national titles and more about grandkid giggles.

Kristen Saban Setas, who married Adam Setas and welcomed their son in 2020, gave fans a heartwarming glimpse into Nick Saban’s post-retirement life. It’s exactly the kind of soft landing that still has his trademark intensity. James Nickolas Setas, who just turned five on April 27, celebrated his birthday on a soccer field, capping the day with a party that any pint-sized athlete would cherish. But the real show came later, at a local bowling alley, where none other than GOAT grandpa Saban took the reins. Not of a defense, but of a gaggle of kids learning to aim straight. Kristen summed it up with a three-word mic-drop moment that feels like a mission statement for her father’s second act: “Never not coaching.”

Whether it’s five-stars or five-year-olds, it seems Nick Saban’s coaching spirit refuses to retire.
