Saban Statue made by UA Art student

Tuscaloosa magazine has a piece up detailing the making of the Coach Nick Saban statue. It turns out that the artist was right here in Tuscaloosa the whole time. I don’t know why but we just assumed that the thing was sculpted by some far off company that had no idea of the importance of the whole thing. Jeremy Davis a senior art student at the U.A with help from Craig Wedderspoon and Daniel Livingston, professors at the art department created the statue over the past year . Even Coach Saban himself and Ms. Terry seemed very pleased with the results.  How many times have we seen Coach Saban smile like that well it’s somewhere between -42 and fucking never (even if he looks a little uncomfortable doing it). If it can make Coach Saban smile like that you know it has to be awesome. So if you see Mr. Jeremy Davis tell him good job. If  your on twitter and want to tell the statue itself you can find it here.  Big thanks to the Tuscaloosa news for having such awesome pictures and to the power brokers that be for keeping this local. Remember to get a whole gallery of 50 photos taken by the Tuscaloosa news go here and for a three minute time lapse video of the creation head here

    On behalf of Jeremy’s family, thank you for the kind words. We happen to think the statue, and Jeremy, are awesome ourselves.
