Nick Saban Gets Bronzed in Alabama [VIDEO]

TweetOnly four years into his coaching tenure and already Alabama has erected a statue in honor of Nick Saban.
The head coach was on hand during Saturday’s A-Day much-anticipated unveiling. The statue will forever stand outside of Bryant-Denny stadium, or at least until a crazed Auburn fan comes along and knocks it over.
Saban, or the Nick-tator as he’s known by some, led Alabama to the national title in 2009. And for that in the football-nutty state of Alabama, gets you a statue.
To Saban’s credit, despite losing to Utah in a Bowl game and dropping a nutcracker to Auburn last fall, the guy has brought a lot of cred back to ‘Bama.
That said, Saban has had a recent history of getting around with quick coaching stints at Michigan State, LSU and Miami Dolphins which have some in the Roll Tide Nation worried when the he’ll jump ship again.
At least now, Bama fans, you’ll have him forever.
