When Tua Tagovailoa went down with a hip injury last weekend, there were many people blaming Nick Saban for keeping his star quarterback in the game despite being up by a wide margin.
Saban admit that Tagovailoa was going to practice the two-minute drill on the final drive of the first half. It unfortunately resulted in the dual-threat quarterback suffering a dislocated hip.
Tagovailoa already underwent surgery and is expected to make a full recovery. Nonetheless, all the critics that blamed Saban for the injury haven't changed their stance.
Regardless of all the negativity surrounding Alabama's head coach, it's pretty apparent that he's still on great terms with Tagovailoa.
Prior to kickoff between Alabama and Western Carolina, Tagovailoa shared a heartwarming photo with Saban.

Tagovailoa also shared a message to Alabama fans this morning, telling them to come out and support the seniors making their final appearance at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
It's disappointing that Tagovailoa won't have the chance to finish this season with the Crimson Tide. He's put together a remarkable career in Tuscaloosa, and if he elects to declare for the 2020 NFL Draft, he'll finish as one of the best players to ever suit up for the program.
