This is what I'm told by a friend in Ala

[jjgold]

Nick will take job, its alll about the money

[bigboydan]

He's gonna take the Job i'm sure.

I thought this courting that bama did was in really bad taste though. They could have waited till the end of the season before they even made the initial offer to him.

[Razz]

Bama having bad taste? No way.

[Dark Horse]

Saban has shown nothing with Miami. Hard to believe he would walk away without at least bringing them back to the playoffs.

The deadline set is Wednesday at 9 am central.

[Dark Horse]

On ESPN.
Owner Huizinga said there would be a final decision at 10 AM Wednesday.

As DH said, Huizinga made those comments earlier this afternoon. I also heard an unconfirmed report that Alabama upped their offer.

Saban's an excellent college coach...I'd like to see what he could do with that Bama team...

[jjgold]

Too tough of a conference for him to do anything but be 7-4, he is a good coach but not tworth that much. Coaches are very overrated, if you have the players you win.

Pretty simple.

Source: Nick Saban ‘gone for sure’ after 'Bama makes offer

DAVIE -- Nick Saban will announce this morning whether he will remain Dolphins coach or leave for the same position at the University of Alabama, but his mind may already be made up.

Despite team owner H. Wayne Huizenga saying he was "optimistic" Saban would stay with the Dolphins, two sources said Tuesday night they expect Saban to accept a contract offer that would make him the highest paid coach in college football. "Saban is gone for sure," one source said.

Perhaps but he knows 1st hand (LSU) what is the SEC

Huizinga's offer last night wasn't good enough I guess??

Personally I think Saban rather be in College ball

[Dark Horse]

So Saban is gone, after accomplishing exactly nothing in Miami. That shows some teeth, and a capacity to truly inspire athletes!
About as much as that girley toss of the red flag.

[HAPPY BOY]

Saban totaly lied and disrespected The Miami Dolphins organization an H. Wayne Huiezinga he played us all for fools. Im not mad that he left, just the way he handled the situation. To me he is a lieing sack of dog shiiit and I hope he fails in Alabama.

[bigboydan]

Personally I think the Fish are better off without Saban HB.
