Alabama Football: Nick Saban back in office less than 48 hours after surgery

Alabama football fans may notice the above heading says Nick Saban was back in his office early Wednesday. It does not say Saban went back to work on Wednesday. We suspect he was working at home on Tuesday.

Maybe the greatest coach in this modern era of college football took a rare day off on Tuesday. He certainly deserved one. Even with new medical marvels in equipment and expertise, having a hip replaced is no small thing.

The process has been described in laymen’s terms as first detaching the leg from the rest of the body. However doctors define it, we call the procedure major surgery.
