Saban back in 'very near future' after hip surgery

Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban underwent hip replacement surgery on Monday afternoon and will be back to work soon, the school announced in a news release.

Dr. Lyle Cain, an orthopedic consultant with the athletic department, said the robotic-assisted procedure was successful on the 67-year-old coach.

"Coach is resting comfortably and we anticipate a full recovery," Cain said in the release. "He should be able to return to work in the very near future, and we'll have him back out on the golf course, with hopefully a few more yards off the tee, as soon as possible.
