The Highland Road estate that once belonged to former LSU football coach Nick Saban is still on the market after a deal to sell the property fell through. The home was under contract and the sale was set to close April 1, says Quita Cutrer, an agent with Burns & Co. who has the listing. But the undisclosed buyer requested an extension and Jim Tanner, who owns the house, refused to provide it. Cutrer says she is waiting for a contract from another buyer. The 6,412-square-foot house, which sits on 4.5 acres, has an asking price of $2.85 million. Tanner bought the home for $2.75 million in 2005 after Saban left Baton Rouge for the NFL. Tanner then exchanged the property in December 2007 before buying the house back in April 2008 for $2.8 million.—Timothy Boone
