Saban has declared that attendence at the games will be limited to only those fans who can pass a special I.Q. test developed by Saban himself.

This is going to seriously cut into Wayne Huizenga's profits from the team, but the owner has told Saban that whatever he feels is best for the Dolphins, will be done.

"It gets distracting with all those people in the stands" said Saban when asked about the radical change. "All the yelling, and noise, besides most football fans are just plain ignorant." "If you can limit the attendance to those folks who know all the nuances of the game, it saves me from having to have press conferences, and explaining to the 'football stupids' why players did what they did on the field".

When asked about the new policy Huizenga replied; "Yeah it's going to cut into my profits quite a bit, but I gave him full control of the team and all it's affairs." "Besides, I am loaded, you think I am going to miss a couple million dollars?"

How hard is Sabans' test? "The entire team took it, and everyone except Sage Rosenfels failed it," said Saban. "However I am looking into Sage's score." "I don't understand how he passed the test as I forbid any of the players from attending on test day."

Saban went on to say, "I am hopeful that one day the mini-camps, training camps, pre-season, and regular season games can all be played out in my head." "That will be a great day...HEY! GET AWAY FROM MY LITTLE DEBBIE SNACKS!!"

Hey Saban, what's with the life size picture of Hitler?

Well, why would anyone think that anything in mini camps mean anything? We all know its just a chance for the players to come in and get oriented, etc.

But I agree with Saban. After what Dave has done to the team, Nick is coming in and saying "This is MY team". We will do things a certain way, not just any way. Either we work together as a team, or we don't.

I agree with what he's doing. He's coming in and showing everyone that this is a different team then last year. No more laziness, no more back biting, enough.

And as fans, we should appreciate this fact. That we now have a coach thats willing to put it on the line for the team. And that he's going to do everything he can to make sure its a team.

Look at the Pats, they're all about team and not individuals.

So anyone having a hard time with this let me ask you a question. Would you prefer to go to all the mini camps, and training camps? Or would you prefer to miss the mini's and have a better team in the long run?
 
If you listen to what Saban said, instead of freaking out over the mini-camp ban, you'll see that his approach to coaching is a far cry from the "dictator" approach--Saban says the role of he and his coaches is to "bring out the best in every player", to help them play as well as they are capable. He is a MOTIVATOR , not a dictator . . . .unless you're a reporter, of course. :)

As long as that's what we get....I find it slightly annoying but, I certainly could live with it.

What does banning the fans from Mini-camp really accomplish? How is that going to make the Dolphins more of a "team"?

I suppose that maybe performing in front of people might be distracting, but the players had better be used to it don't ya think?
 
I think someone forgot to tell Saban the reason the team exists is for the fans.

:yeahthat:

Folks who had been clamoring for a change in root philosophy, not merely personnel: here's your first juicy morsel.
 
I think this is a bye product of the media crackdown....he can't keep the press out of mini camps if he allows the fans to attend....so...
