FINS OFFENSIVE IMPROVEMENT DUE TO SABAN
As Miami offensive coordinator Scott Linehan draws consideration for a head coaching job, it wasn't too long ago that we heard rumors that Fins coach Nick Saban was fed up with his performance, and might fire him after only one year on the job.
But then the Fins won six in a row. So Linehan had figured it out, right?
Wrong, we hear. The perception in league circles is that the defense got better because Saban -- a defensive-minded coach -- got more involved in the offensive attack.
Given that Linehan didn't even get an interview for the head coaching position in Minnesota, where he served as the coordinator for three seasons, it makes us wonder whether Linehan really is the next Boy Wonder in NFL coaching circles.-PFT
