There’s no stopping Nick Saban. Certainly not a new hip.
The Alabama head coach, as some around the program no doubt expected, is not taking it easy at all after undergoing right hip replacement surgery on Monday. In fact, not 48 hours later he’s back in business at his office in Tuscaloosa.

Saban is supposed to spend the next 6-8 weeks recovering from the surgery but the 67-year-old does not appear to be sticking by that timetable for getting back to full strength.
“I had one day on the walker... Now I’m on the cane. I’ll probably throw that (SOB) away tomorrow,” Saban told TideSports.com. “I think in two weeks, I will be 100 percent.
“They won’t let me play golf for six weeks for some reason, but I am going to try and get that reduced.”
Ahh yes, even Saban’s rehab is getting put through the rigors of his famous ‘Process.’
