I am not a Nick Saban fan. I never have been. I am glad as a Dolphin fan to see him out the door. What burns me up though, is that I live in Alabama and will have to listen to stories about him for the next however many years he is here (until he leaves them for a "better job").
To re-empahsize I am glad the Dolphins can finally get someone in place that can turn around the sinking ship that is our franchise. That Neo-nazi of a coach and his 1.2 million assistants can hit the road.
Alabama now gets to hear him talk about integrity and being a champion, while not living as he talks. The man simply ran out on a job that he had not done well. Instead of fixing what he created he ran to a place where he will easily be able to win more games. Teaching young minds to run whenever tough times come, is not a lesson I'd want my son to learn Little Nicky...

I have been neutral in my cheering for teams from Alabama, but now while I am not an Auburn fan, I will be pulling for any team playing against the Tide.
*** Addition: Here is another point of the Little Napolean complex that Saban is struggling with from the Miami Herald: "An official said a Dolphins staffer once complimented Saban on his haircut. That staffer later was told not to speak directly to the coach again. And as profootballtalk.com once reported -- and an official confirmed -- Saban once snapped because a team staffer didn't purchase the correct type of ''Little Debbie'' cakes.
• Saban last year wouldn't allow quarterbacks coach Jason Garrett to join Scott Linehan in St. Louis, privately saying he had to be loyal to the Dolphins. How's that for irony?"
