I agree. Maybe it's one of those things that you just have to see in person. Here is another link for more pictures: Click here for link

That looks like it's just a cast. The bronze should look better. Looks like he is clapping?
Plus remember they redid it several times, this could be a reject.
There is an article on tidesprots err rivals, that is premium content.

I don't like it. It captures the moment, and probably his personality, but usually statues are best when they present a dignified pose. He looks like a cartoon character. Maybe that's why I'm not an artist.

I am not crazy about it either. I think they screwed up on his face. I mean, I know it's impossible to get the statue to look JUST like him but I don't think this one does him justice at all. Hopefully like someone said - maybe this is a reject mold.

I thought some pics looked 'ok' and some didn't look very good at all. The whole pose looks a little strange. He seems to be leaning forward quite a bit.

I can't remember seeing a statue with a watch though let alone one that the time was visible on . all I can say is , if the watch is the best part ? we have a bad case of the statue suckage 1 as in #1 ranked football team. The time was about the only thing nice I could find to say about the statue for now. Like I saw discussed on another board, in one of the pictures, Coach Saban even looks like Andy Griffith.
