Who the heck is Nick Saban and who cares who coaches the Dolphins? They are a terrible team in a place where fans care more about percentage of body fat than what their team's records are. Sorry, thats just how I feel.

it's somewhat newsworthy i suppose because he just got the biggest $ contract any ncaa coach received and people in Florida are far bigger football fans than baseball or basketball.

do people really care who manages the yankees any more?

As a Yankee hater and somebody who lives in NY (not the city but still NY)....yes they do! Baseball rules in this state. Its all about the Yankee - Red Sox here. I love the rivalry but I follow just about every team very closely and watch about 7-10 games per week.

fair enough. People here (in general, but not me) could care less about baseball. Marlins win 2 WS in 10 years and they get 2,000 people some nights. No wonder they can't get a stadium built.

It'll take a couple of seasons, IMO...

Saban's record at LSU:

2000: 8-4
2001: 10-3
2002: 8-5
2003: 13-1 (National Champs)
2004: 9-3

thats lsu.
saban should have NO problems getting whatever player he wants. there are still plenty of guys that want the Honor of pulling on that Crimson jersey and running on the field in front of 90,000 people.

Are you serious? LOL!!! There is more talent in the state of Louisiana than Alabama any day of the week.

He's not going to have an easy time of recruiting either... good old Tubby will keep him busy. Saban will be cherry picking Mississippi and most likely will attempt at stealing a few Louisiana recruits.

Football is huge down here, but there are far more college football fans than NFL fans. I don't care as much about the Dolphins as I do about Saban going back to coach another SEC team.
