Was he really a failure though? He took a 4-12 Miami team and went 9-7 his first year. Injuries and his failure to connect on Drew Brees cost him in 2006. The year after he left the Dolphins went 1-15.


Yes. Read my post. That 4-12 Miami team would have probably been a playoff team had they not been hungout to dry by Ricky Williams.

The Fins were worst than expected Saban's first year and he was only able to beat the worst teams in the NFL. He was outcoached weekly.

His second year, the Fins were talented enough and expected to make the playoffs. Saban was terrible and outcoached weekly again.

He then left a roster that was much older and much worse than he inherrited that was totally demoralized.

He pretty much failed in every way imaginable. WH and some of the Fins fans bought into his sermons and wanted him back, but a lot of Fins fans wanted him fired mid-season of 2006.

Then why are you still angry? It's been seven years. Let it go.

Yes. Period. Point. Blank. Sabans career in the NFL can be (AND IS) described as that one word. Failure. And if you are naive enough to think it doesn't eat at him, you don't really know the man you bamers put on a shrine and pray to.
