Saban Is As Weasely As He Looks
TAKES BAMA JOB AFTER DECEIVING SOUTH FLORIDA
Has Nick Saban no shame? Why would an esteemed university like Alabama give $30 million to a man with such a dearth of character and allow him to teach impressionable collegians?
After hemming and hawing whether he would even entertain an offer from Alabama, the double-crossing Saban finally did what many envisioned, but never realize he would actually do.
He's free to do what he wants and he's free to conjure up lame excuses such as his wife didn't particularly enjoy Florida and his $7 million home just didn't have that roomy feel. It's common knowledge that sports figures solely use the "family decision" as a smokescreen and it's exactly what Saban did.
Sure, dollar signs flashed before his beady eyes and I presume the realization that the Miami Dolphins were unlike any college football team in that the buck did not stop at Coach's desk, criticism from the locker room was prevalent and perky sorority girls became gruff lesbians hellbent on getting tanked in the parking lot of Dolphins Stadium.
It's not that he couldn't excel in the NFL. Saban ended his Dolphins career with a losing record, but the team was anything but horrible and aside from consecutive poor starts would have been playoff-bound. A dependable QB would have helped, too.
What rankles South Florida is that he was unbelievably dishonest with them. Talk of a turnaround in Miami emanated like a fountain of mojitos from Saban's mouth and now this. Like a wife unwilling to believe her husband had been cheating on her despite a load of evidence, the realization that the Dolphins Nation has just wasted two years on a low-down, dirty rotten carpetbagger on his way to the most un-Miami place in America--Tuscaloosa--has caused an uproar quite unifying and uncommon in American sports.
The ghost of Bear Bryant is angry tonight.
