Alabama football head coach Nick Saban was unable to coach, or even be present, for the 2020 Iron Bowl due to a positive COVID test, offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian stepped in and got the win over Auburn. Now, Saban is cleared and ready to get back to the sidelines.

Saban made it clear on his radio show that he was not only cleared, but ready to get back.

“I’ll be there,” Saban said Thursday night. “I’m good. I think my time is up. I’m ready to get back in the swing of things.”

The six-time National Championship winning head coach also had high praise for the plasma treatment he was given.

“Whatever was in this plasma deal, it knocked it out in one day,” he said. “From Thursday on, I’ve felt great and 100%. I would certainly recommend that treatment for anybody that could get it.

He is set to travel with the team to Baton Rouge, LA today with the rest of the team and coach tomorrow as No. 1 Alabama takes on LSU.
