So I don't have to do the "google" thing...who is Nick Saban?
Was he a jockey that found that he was riding a horse that was fifty lengths behind Secretariat in th Belmont, he decided to hold his whip?
Just curious...no sense beating a dead horse...where did that one come from?
he was the dolphins head coach--surely you have heard of him? he quit after 2 years and went back to college. pro's was too hard, and he knew he wouldn't win this coming year. it got hard, so he quit. seems to be the modern way. hell, just look at divorce rates! when the going gets tough--just quit.

If I could get the money Bama offered i'd leave too. Most people would. Especially when you consider the chances were great he was going to get fired after one more year. Plus his family wasn't happy in Miami.

Done deal. He didn't quit on his family and that's what matters most.

had he won this past year, and had any good thoughts about the year to come, and his roster, he'd have stayed...money was the same. i understand the why's and all that...fact remains he still quit. but that's for another thread....

People quit jobs all of the time to take better ones. Why stay somewhere when you aren't happy?

He was under contract with the Dolphins and for legal reasons couldn't tell the truth. He's not a fool.

He didn't have to lie, Pillow... he could have said, "Right now, I'm not taking the Alabama job." Technically, that wouldn't have been a lie if he had said it in that kind of manner. Damn, here we go again on Saban. LOL

I'm not sure if he'll be happy. He might get fired regardless.

Danzig,
Thanks for explaining. I'm not a football guy, so I didn't know.
Now, divorce...I know more than enough about that, but that's for a pm if you really want to know.
Sux any way ya shake or bake it.
