Even for Nick Saban, hip replacement surgery requires a few concessions — but very few.
“I couldn’t drive myself to work this morning,” Saban said in a telephone interview from his office on Wednesday morning. “Cedric (Burns) came and got me at home.
“Terry was glad to see him, I’ll put it that way,” he added with a laugh.
Saban returned to work less than 48 hours after hip surgery that was performed by hip specialist Dr. Benton Emblom and Dr. Lyle Cain’s team at Andrews Sports Medicine in Birmingham on Monday afternoon, although he still has some restrictions as he begins rehabilitation.
“I had one day on the walker,” he said. “Now I’m on the cane. I’ll probably throw that (SOB) away tomorrow."
