re: Saban, who hates Bama & cant wait to leave, turned down 6 NFL jobs in offseason

Why does Gus return year after year? He's failed quite a bit.

Most people know better than to return to a place that you failed. It would be like marrying your ex-wife. It might be exciting for a little while, but you know there is a good chance you will get the same results.

Yeah, it's a damn good thing Bill Belichick got the hell out of the NFL after going 13-19 in his first two years. There's no way that idiot was ever going to win anything at that level

I always hear how much of a failure he was in the NFL.... his first season at the Dolphins resulted in a 9-7 season after they had went 4-12 the year before. That's a pretty nice improvement. Then they signed Dante Culpepper and he never recovered from his knee injury and ended up starting 3 different quarterbacks the next season but still ended 6-10 with wins over the patriots as well as snapping the Bears winning streak, who ended up playing in the super bowl that year.

I wouldn't really call that failure. His first season he barely missed the playoffs with a team that had just 4 wins the year before and his second season was set back with quarterback issues.

But don't let facts get in the way of a good flame fest of a coach you wish you had.
