I think Saban is in for the long haul, and i also think it's going to be looked at in the future as the very best thing that could happen to the phins. It really perplexes me how for 6 games last year he was a genius and now i'm seeing more and more threads wanting him fired. Last year most predicted a 2-3 year rebuilding period but we caught fire, (in no small thanks to an easy schedule and an increase in confidence. Winning tends to do that...see New Orleans for an example.) I think this year, with expectations way too high and a good qb who needs probably another year of rehab for his knee, we fell back to earth. Miami masked their deficiencies last year, but we aren't able to do it this year. I think Saban is a damn good coach, i think he has some things to learn in dealing with the media and in listening to others from time to time, and he has a lot of work left to do on this team. But, I think he will do it and we have to be patient with the rebuilding process....cause whether you want to believe it or not we are rebuilding.
