- He said he will focus on leadership and process within the organization and will participate as much as chairman Bill Haslam wants.
- Saban has already met twice with GM Barry Trotz and has spoken with coaches and some players to offer support.
- The team did not disclose the size or source of his stake under ownership-group policy, and Nashville is 15-16-4 in the Central Division.
