"Saban Leaves As A Loser, Weasel"


I don't agree with too much of what Dan Le Ba(s)tard of the Miami Herald writes, but his column today -- "Saban Leaves As A Loser, Weasel" -- captured most of what Dolphins fans are feeling today.

So it appears that Nick Saban and Alabama are a match made in hell: Slimy, egomaniacal coach with control and trust issues heads to the backwater South, where they cling to an outdated belief that they are relevant in the college football world because of what somebody with a plaid hat did 40 years ago. They employed the shotgun approach to finding a coach of the lowest common denominator, figuring if they threw enough money at enough coaches, somebody and something would stick. Something did. And it smells. Almost as bad as a state with nothing but Confederate flags, swamps and a determination to try to buy a place in the sports pecking order.

I would say that it's akin to making a deal with the devil -- except I'm not sure who the devil would be in this scenario.

Jerry Glanville? Thought he was dead? I think they should bring Jimmy Johnson in.
