More than a smirk or a grin, the media finally catches Nick Saban with a full fledged smile across his face.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban holds up the Coaches' Trophy. Alabama beat Texas 37-21 in the BCS title game on Thursday in Pasadena.

Now Saban officially gets his statue along the Walk of Champions next to Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.

Here's a look at the area included in a story I did earlier this fall on the shadow of Bear Bryant hanging over the program.
