nick saban is saying that after leaving lsu for the dolphins he wasn’t a control freak, didn’t get total control of the program, and allowed a doctor to choose his quarterback. anyone but me find that unlikely?

Anything Nick Saban says, the complete opposite is probably true

It was a great interview as of which I have no earthly idea how you gathered it’s his first step to leaving for the NFL.

Saban please just go away! You FAILED as our coach, we don’t need reminders.
I still remember the story of when Jeno James was convulsing on the floor and Saban stepped over him and continued to his office ignoring his player. Pathetic little man, just go away.

Saban is ready to roll to the NFL now because he sees Johnny “Football” Manziel running roughshod over his defenses for AT LEAST the next two years and that’ll hurt his “legacy” as a great football coach.

Saban reminds me of Karl in Sling Blade… he kinda looks like him.

I doubt seriously there are any NFL team concerns regarding his perceived preference for Culpepper over Brees to chase Saban.

The college coach I want to see back in the big leagues is Jim Mora Jr.

Got caught up in the Vick debacle in Atlanta. Wasn’t given a fair shot with just one year as the head man of a bad Seattle team. Good ball coach. Really turned that UCLA program around.

Can’t imagine any NFL team wanting this phony as a head coach.

Yeah, you can be a big phony and get away with it at the college level. Not in the big leagues, though.

Everytime you look up some college coach is leaving their players in the dust for a bigger program, but Saban’s a whole ‘nother story. Guy’s a snake oil salesman if I’ve ever seen one, right up there with Petrino and Todd Graham.

Brees would be long done if he signed with the fins. He and Sean Payton were a perfect match. Right place, right time.

Is he really willing to trade a job that has no salary cap restrictions for a job that does?

These comments are silly. NO college coach has “allegiance” to their school! They use each and every job as a stepping stone to the next one. That’s understood by everyone but fans apparently.

‘Cause a Brady Hoke would rather be anywhere else besides Michigan, right?

Nick Saban: refusing to admit football-related failure or wrongdoing since 1972.

I read somewhere the Brees experienced being poked/prodded in a doctors room by Miami.

Whereas Payton looked him square in the eye and told Brees he wanted him to be his QB.

Not sure if its true

Saban is going nowhere… Why the hell would he??? He is in place to dominate for a couple of DECADES! He has no salary caps, no risk on signing a free agent, and future first round picks galore to hand pick every year.

Saban takes the Cleveland Browns job. Quits the Browns job after 2 years. Takes the job at Michigan.

Jim Harbaugh is still a whiny little girl…..
Give it up Schwarty, you’re season is done, and so is your stay in Detroit. Saban would be a huge upgrade for you. Give Harbaugh the Lions and they are in the playoffs, no question about it. Harbs gets the last laugh. Muahahaha

Yea well I don’t hate him for that. I hate him for trading away Wes Welker to the Patriots. What a Moron!

Also he didn’t intend to leave the Dolphins and was being completely honest when he dismissed the Alabama rumors but his doctors told him he needed to move. Then at Alabama, Cam Newton and Tim Tebow failed their physicals, so that is why he did not win every year.

Yes, this is interesting timing. Wonder if there’s any one to confirm it.

Hindsight is 20/20 and if he’s considering another NFL run, he’d definitely want to clear up the Culpepper-over-Brees judgement error ’cause we know what the media will be talking about if indeed he makes a move to the Browns.
