When Nick Saban said "I'm not going to Alabama" on December 21st, nobody was buying it. The players weren't, Miami Dolphins owner Wayne Huzienga wasn't, and neither were the powers that be at the University of Alabama.
So it shouldn't be much of a surprise this morning that Saban is currently aboard a private jet hurtling towards Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where he'll put his Herbie Hancock on a long-term contract to coach the Crimson Tide. The deal is believed to be for 8 years, and worth between $35-40 million dollars.
After spending a few years as a hot NFL Head Coach candidate, Saban left LSU to take the head coaching job with the Miami Dolphins. Under Saban, the Dolphins went 15-17 and failed to make the post-season.
I hope Saban enjoyed his stay in the NFL, because I can't see another team making the same mistake with him again.
