Further, outside those supposed comments by Saban, there still another positive:

There is the Florio comments about Saban rejecting the offer. As we've heard, Huizenga wants to talk to Saban again in person. But that's rumor. But, all of this certainly suggests a problem. This doesn't rule out that things can't be worked out.

I waiting to hear more on whether Saban has told others he is finished negotiating.

According to Crawfish, he got his offer and wasn't knocked off his feet.

You say he hasn't gotten it yet.

I wonder if time is just running out for Miami to make this deal. Clearly, the pressure has been put on Saban by LSU. Big pressure. Time may be on our side.

^^ this part is also reported in an article on espn.com

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1951043

Emerging from his meeting with Bates, Huizenga declined to say whether anyone else will be interviewed. But he said the Dolphins weren't ready to make an offer.

"We still have a lot of work to do," Huizenga said. "We just have to figure out how soon we can get it done. Hopefully it won't be too much longer."

Huizenga said he and team president Eddie Jones want to talk again with Saban as a follow-up to their interview with him last week at his home in Baton Rouge, La.

"There are some questions we didn't ask then that we now feel we should ask," Huizenga said. "They're not negative. We might even do that on the telephone."

Bates strengthened his case Monday night when the Dolphins scored two touchdowns in the final 2:07 and upset New England 29-28. With the improbable comeback, Miami (3-11) improved to 2-3 since coach Dave Wannstedt resigned.

"It says a lot about the team," quarterback A.J. Feeley said. "It says a lot about coach Bates. ... The guys in the locker room adore him."
