He left b/c he belongs back in college. He's happy that the whole Booby Petrino fiasco put his unprofessional handling of the Miami/'Bama situation in the rearview. Now he can go join the Spurriers, Petrinos and other coaches who crawl back to the NCAA.

Because he couldn't coach successffully at that level and everybody knows it.

Yard Bird, it wasn't ME this time!

He suddenly remembered he couldn't coach at the NFL level, and it was time to bail out. End of story. Loser all the wayyyyyy!

Who gives a damn if he left Miami! They sucked anyway! I am grateful he is at Bama and believe that he will do just fine! Roll Tide!!

i was told if i cant say anything good to say nothing at all so ill just keep my mouth shut!!

the fins are glad saban left as well,otherwise we wouldnt have the tuna

Charlie Weis was a genius who NFL fans raved about. And he is getting his large **** handed to him by CFB coaches.

Shouldn't he be telling this to Oprah?

saban got banned from recruiting at my old high school,st thomas in ft laud because of how the whole shula/saban alabama thing went down..shulas kids went there and saban is now boycotted

''Sometimes you learn about yourself when you go places and do things,'' Saban said.

George Watson figured it out before you did, you suck!

everybody hatin on saban, if u could go to the highest level of your job and get more money, common sense says you would too, regardless of whether or not people have crashed and burned before you, your not gonna say "if they didn't make it then i can't"

It's amazing that any coach is successful in the NFL, when you have to deal with all the ego maniacs that have to be coached.

anyone know why a message sent to themoderator@fannation.com is undeliverable?

I love college football because teams like ULM can upset the Alabamas of the world. I used to like Bama but can't stand acts like Saban.

What is wrong with trying to make it at the top of your occupation or area, failing, realizing you're failing and unhappy, then moving on (back) to a comfortable level of achievement? Would you critics rather he stay in the pro game, stay a loser there, and be unhappy with it along with the players, fans and the organization? Seems to me some of you just want the man to stay miserable....no matter where he is. That is hate and immaturity.

"saban got banned from recruiting at my old high school,st thomas in ft laud because of how the whole shula/saban alabama thing went down..shulas kids went there and saban is now boycotted"

sucks to be a player at that school, who could possibly get a free 4-year scholarship to play at Alabama, but now wont because the coach is shortsighted and refuses to let the school come in. Im sure he is letting all the parents know that any player that is now not recruited, he will pay their way through college since he is limiting their options.

Somehow I feel T&R staff will save this one as a template. In a matter of years/months they can just replace NFL with NCAA as Saban flip-flops again

"Now he can go join the Spurriers, Petrinos and other coaches who crawl back to the NCAA."

Let ust not forget Pete Carroll

"Because he couldn't coach successffully at that level and everybody knows it."

He took a 4-12 team and turned them around to 9-7 in his first year. Fell back to 6-10 his second year when his expected starting QB stayed hurt all year. Yeah, thats just terrible. LOL.. whatever makes you all sleep better at night. I'm just glad he's at Alabama now.
But Saban bashers, ask yourself this.. If he was such a terrible coach then why are so many south Florida media, fans and ex-coaches so upset that he left?

Roll Tide
