TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The pain “came out of nowhere,” and did not go away. And if you’re wondering why Nick Saban chose now – or next week, rather – to have his right hip replaced, this is why: He has no plans to go away, either.
Saban, 67, has won five national championships in 11 seasons at Alabama, and clearly has designs on more of both. The last time we saw the Crimson Tide, it was losing in stunning fashion, 44-16 to Clemson in the College Football Playoff national championship game.
