Back to the Alabama Crimson Tide Newsfeed

Jumbo Package: 48 hours after surgery, Nick Saban is back at work

It takes most people more than two days to get over a cold. But, for Alabama’s notorious workaholic head coach, that’s 48 hours wasted on himself rather than working on the game plan for Duke.

Unfortunately, Saban won’t be able to attend the NFL Draft as he usually does. But, make no mistake, he’s already spoken to all 32 GMs and head coaches multiple times in the past four months

Although he’s back on his feet, Saban will miss his annual appearance at the NFL draft on Thursday. He and former Crimson Tide running back Mark Ingram were also forced to withdraw from this year’s Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament, which will take place next week in Greensboro, Ga.
