Oh my – an Auburn DB was just bitten in the hand by a police dog after he defended a play in the end zone. Then they took the dog away! #
Kansas Jayhawks, Exposed by Missouri in Kansas City, Missouri! If they win out – it’ll be West Virginia – Mizzou for the BCS title. Yuck! #
Callahan, Orgeron and Franchione fired. OK – Fran resigned but same thing. Along with Carr that leaves a lot of head coach posts available #
WaSU wins Apple Cup on last minute bomb – capitalizing on a blitz and blown coverage. OSU’s clock cleaned by OU. Clemson beat Spurrier #
VTech (errr. VPI) beat UVa. BC beat Miami for the first time since Hail Flutie, Canes finish 5-7 . No bowl for you. Kyle Wright: abysmal. #
Kent State lost to Buffalo. UNC beat Duke. UCLA beat Oregon and BYU beat Utah. How does Stanford win at USC and lose at home to Notre Dame? #
Wow – Celtics beat Charlotte on buzzer beating 3 by Ray Allen. Is this post Laker game hangover? Apparently their gym was rocking. #
Mizzou KU game running time: 226 minutes. ABC is reeeeally milking it for ad money, isn’t it. #
Just to reiterate: Nick “The Dick” Saban lost. That’s 6 straight Iron Bowls to Auburn. War Eagle #
Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Pompy, Liverpool win. Man United lose to Bolton! Arsenal: 3 points clear and a game in hand! #
Fight On … College Football’s Top Franchises http://tinyurl.com/2ecc9k I still don’t get why Notre Dame is so popular. Oh well. #
Owen: Pressure got to England http://tinyurl.com/28sp6w “99% … takes place in your head and that puts a big onus in coping mentally.” #
“When fear takes over, you start to do things wrong and take the easy option which in our case is lumping the ball forward to the front men” #
“I’m not absolving myself from blame… What must be addressed as much as anything is our psychological preparations.” #
http://tinyurl.com/ytz32g England Play Croatia again in World Cup Qualifying. N. Korea play S. Korea and US could play Cuba. Spicy! #
Browns, Jags, Saints on the rise. Giants come back to the pack. With Detroit losing, NFC will be tough to call. AFC looks like CLE & JAX. #
Mizzou is BCS #1 and WV are #2. For Now. Mizzou plays Oklahoma – their only loss. WV has a layup with Pitt. Ohio State is waiting at #3. #
BCS gets what they deserve. Mizzou vs West Virginia? Worst. Title game. Ever. #
East Lower http://tinyurl.com/286lhf On Arsenal: “we have secured 13 of our 33 points in the last ten minutes of our games.” #

Nick Saban, Mercenary For Hire

Filed under: Alabama, Auburn Tigers, Jay Glazer, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Nick Saban, Wayne Huizenga, football — Tags: Alabama, Auburn Tigers, football, Jay Glazer, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Nick Saban, Wayne Huizenga — webadmin @ 4:52 am

Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer wrote in Truth is, college coaches should stay put

Gee, Nick Saban lied… imagine that! After all, why let the truth get in a way of a darn good scam?

The purpose of this column is not to simply bash the Napoleanic gnome — a man who can’t seem but to lie, only to angrily bully his inquisitors as if they should be physically afraid of him. Sure, we can go on and on about how the Nicktator took one of the game’s classiest owners and cleaned his clock. After all the times Saban acted like he was going to kick another man’s butt, after all the times he verbally undressed and humiliated others, he’d finally gotten the better of a man.But Wayne Huizenga? Never saw that coming. At the very least we thought he’d get a ball boy or even the little dude who worked for the Jets who Bill Polian jacked up in the tunnel. But Wayne Huizenga? The same Wayne Huizenga regarded as one of the best and most loyal owners in the NFL?

So let this column act as a memo to all owners out there looking to delve deep into the coaching search to pluck out the next great hope: DO NOT GO TO THE COLLEGE RANKS FOR YOUR NFL HEAD COACH!!!

All I can say is that Nick Saban will have the ultimate comeuppance when those same Bama fans that shook his hand and tried to tongue kiss him on the tarmac end up running his ass out of town because he went 7-5 and lost to Auburn. 5 coaches in 10 seasons? Can you fault Franchione from busting out – he saw the hatchet coming.

He will not be missed in Miami because he made no progress here despite what he says. Some might say he even regressed in certain areas from year one to year two. Hopefully Huizenga quits trying to hire the big name coach with sizzle and goes after an assistant who understands the NFL and the commitment required – and maybe instead of trying to assess that himself, let someone with some experience (successful experience) in hiring a head coach actually take on that role. I have no idea why he’s so allergic to having a strong GM.

And to Nick – well your wife is away from multicultural Miami now and back where she can lord her position as coach’s wife over all the townfolk in BFE. Enjoy it while you can. But in the mean time – War Eagle.
