Even if his fingerprints were all over the 1-15 team in Miami, he didn't coach them.

Nick Saban's 2 years in the NFL were not impressive. The team got off to bad starts both years and regressed quite a bit the 2nd year when they were supposedly going to be a potential playoff team. His 2006 draft was a disaster as they had traded too many picks and with his 1st and 3rd rd picks he took Jason Allen and Derrick Hagen who were both busts. His entire draft that year was awful as not a single decent player was drafted. He famously chose to sign Culpepper rather than Brees. The team regressed under his watch and he made a smart move by leaving as he could see the handwriting on the wall. Naturally he lied about leaving because college czars are allowed to lie because they are gods on campus. His college career is great, his NFL career was not.
