If Saban is such a genius why did he fail with the Dolphins?

    Its pretty simple... He didn't have 25 picks in the first three rounds of the NFL draft, which would be the equivalent to a top recruiting class filled with 5 and 4-stars...

    Exactly. When he had average talent he went 6-6 and lost to Louisiana-Monroe. After that humiliation he probably then decided to play the game (off the field) the historical Alabama way.

    He's a great college coach; but I don't think he would ever be more than a good pro coach. His recruiting skills don't translate into key NFL skills. And that's part of his formula; keep the talent deck stacked in your favor. I think furduknfish had it about right, but the assholes in the sack are clinched - and he doesn't want to let go of shit. He can control everything at Bama. At Bama does't have a salary cap (allegedly), an owner, a front office . . . . he would have to get along with people in the NFL. AND he would have to learn to deal with a lot more losses. I just don't see it working

    Saban chose Daunte Culpepper coming off a knee injury over Drew Brees coming off of a torn labrum affecting his throwing arm.

    Had he picked Brees he would still be in the NFL.

    Not only that, but what do you think would happen if he blew a gasket at Suh or Wake (I know they weren't even in college back then) or any other star player? Probably wouldn't end well for ole Sabes.
