and Nick Saban and the Dolphins scoop him up: FWIW, I think bringing in a bunch of former Tigers is good relative (it's a Saban post, so I had to use a "relative" in here somewhere) to what Saban is trying to do in Miami. If you have to have late round draft choices and street free agents on your team anyway, might as well get former players of yours who are familiar with your way of doing things.
You know, Saban could have easily took the Dolphins job and then completely disassociated himself with LSU. He seems to have done the exact opposite in Miami as he has brought in several former LSU players. I'm not saying he is picking these guys up just because they are from LSU...But he has done a great job of giving some of these guys shots with the Dolphins..
Saban said they will be running alot more zone.. guess because he doesnt have corners that can dominate the other teams...
I can imagine thought that it is a lot easier and helps make it somewhat more comfortable when you go and get guys that have already played for you as well.
