Saban, with new hip, back at work: 'Rolling now'

"The Process" never ends for Alabama's Nick Saban -- not even two days after the 67-year-old coach had hip replacement surgery.

Alabama athletic department spokesman Josh Maxson confirmed that Saban was back in his office at the Moore Athletic Facility early Wednesday morning, less than 48 hours after he had hip replacement surgery.
