The Sabans have been flooded with retirement gifts, and that was before SEC commissioner Greg Sankey delivered a present on behalf of his conference’s football coaches.

It’s the thought that counts.

ABOUT LIFE’S A PROCESS

Nick Saban isn’t coaching anymore, but that doesn’t mean Alabama’s legendary football coach is finished developing as a person. Life’s a process, after all, and when one chapter flips its last page there’s a new one ready to begin.

A new collaborative project at AL.com involving cartoonist J.D. Crowe and sports columnist Joseph Goodman is here. Being such enormous fans of Miss Terry and the husband she turned into the greatest college football coach of all time, J.D. and Joe got together and combined their love of creative storytelling. A new cartoon strip starring Alabama’s favorite power couple was born.

“Life’s a Process” is the name of the strip. It’s a celebration of life and love, and it’s going to be featured on AL.com. Don’t think of the Sabans as retired. That’s what Coach Saban would say. Just think of them as beginning a new journey. Every great journey has a captain, and we all know that Miss Terry will steer this ship in the right direction. Life’s a process and we never stop learning from those we love.

Here’s Strip No.4 of “Life’s a Process.” The Sabans send a gift to Jimbo Fisher.
