- Until the summer, I had never really spoken much to Dolphins coach Nick Saban. I had written a column ripping him and his like about his media policies last spring -- I did ask him about it at the combine last February -- but I had never really met the man until attending the Dolphins camp in July. So when I went there I went with an open mind, even if I didn't agree with his nitpicky media rules. When I left, I came away thinking he would have Miami in the playoffs in three years and in the Super Bowl a short time later. That's how good a coach this guy can be. He reminded me a lot of Tom Coughlin, who coached the Jaguars when I was the beat guy covering that team, both pains-in-the-*** to deal with, but both darn good coaches. Now I'm convinced more than ever that Saban will win. To see his team going into San Diego last week and beat the Chargers is validation of the guy as a head coach. Give him another year or two to accumulate talent and the Dolphins will be in the thick of things in the AFC. Of course, they do have to get a quarterback. One more thing about the Dolphins: If anybody out there really thinks Scott Linehan isn't a good fit as an offensive coordinator, look at last week. He made Gus Frerotte look like he's the real deal. That's magical, folks. :dolphins: :dolphins: :dolphins:
