I disagree, everyone can say what they want about the Miami incident but know this. The agent for Nick Saban was in negotations with Alabama and put an unrealistic number of 40 million out there thinking that would never be met. So Saban says "I'm not coaching at Alabama" and at that point he was not he was the Dolphins coach. Mal Moore went to work and incredibly brought the boosters together and next thing you know they came out of pocket with 40 Million. At which time Saban's agent calls him during the final game of the Dolphins and tells him Alabama has made the offer and met his criteria. He tells Nick this is a sweet deal and he should go for it. Saban does some soulsearching and says "I am going to Alabama." Now then he had no deal with the Dolphins that prevented this course of action. Nick did what was in his and his family's best interest. The owner of the dolphins agreed. Classy is as classy does if there was a problem then the Dolphins owner alone has the right to criticize and blame but he didn't. Saban has already won the hearts of Alabama fans and that is a marriage he won't divorce.

That was what happened dolphin fans fail to realize thier team sucks. They blame coaches but if Jimmy Johnson couldn't get it done or Nick Saban then it is time to look in another place for the problems the players.
