The Coaching Carousel



Surfing the internet and cable today, most journalists and commentators have been completely tearing into former Dolphins coach Nick Saban. Believe it or not, he actually lied to reporters while his team still had a chance to make the playoffs and told the media he wasnt interested in another job. He actually left a job where he had two years remaining for a job where he had 8 guaranteed years. What is this guy a moron?

Pat Forde had an interesting argument on espn.com where he labeled the entire coaching fraternity of college football as liars. Although, I am preety sure the college football God himself Joe Paterno was excluded. Although even JoePa himself toyed with leaving for Michigan in 1969 and the New England Patriots in 1979. The bottom line is college football coaches are like any other profession. As a writer I am sure that nearly all collumnists would jump to a job at a newspaper or website where more money is guaranteed over a longer period of time. There is even a chance that they might deny some of the rumors if asked.

Lou Holtz summed it up very well when he stated, "If you liked Nick Saban before this doesn't bother you, but if you didnt he;s a traitor.

Well Said Lou.
