The NFL is about passing the football. No matter what they pay him, I doubt he gets the respect of the players.

No matter how bad Saben might have been in Miami -- and I think they went like 1-15 when he left -- he is a guy that does it NFL style on both sides of the ball.

He didnt invent that offense, it was there before him. Good coaches are good coaches. Look at Brian Kelly at ND. He has always been known an offense guy and used the spread as well. This team he has in Nat'l Championship game is using a basic grind it out offense.

If you think that Kelly's schemes arent NFL worthy you havent been paying attention to all the teams using elements of it. I'm always skeptical of college guys in the NFL simply because despite the fact the x's and O's arent that different College coaches are dictators who are allowed to horde talent and they totally run the show. There are no big ego owners, agents, contract years, etc. The winning college coach is the highest paid guy on campus and has the most power because of it. Not so in the NFL. Even bigger issue in the NBA.

Saban was overmatched in the NFL. The team that was 1-15 after he left was the team that had his fingerprints all over it. His personnel decisions were scary bad. His greatest strength as a coach is recruiting which is worthless in the NFL. Alabama does nothing original and his LSU teams didnt either. He went out and got better players and lined them up and said beat me.
