Nick Saban Press Conference Transcript From The Senior Bowl

I like this quote from Nick Saban a lot:

“I know you're probably interested in staff changes and those types of things. First of all, we're very pleased to be able to add two people with the kind of qualifications that we have been able to add with our staff, Mike Mularkey and Dom Capers. Both have had a lot of success in this league and both will make a very positive contribution to our staff. I think everybody needs to understand that we're not really changing our offense we're not changing our defense. We're going to keep things as consistent for our players as we can so we can grow and develop the things that we have already put in place in the first year. We're going to take the enthusiasm, the knowledge, the experience and the new ideas that – and anytime you bring in qualified people to your organization, you're going to have an impact and add positive things to the way you teach and do things. We're going to use all those things to get better, but we're not going to change the systems on offense, defense and special teams. We're not going to make significant staff changes. That's not what we're all about.

Yes, yes. I liked that too. I liked it when he basically said it's easier for a coach to change and learn a new terminology than it is for 53 players to learn a new terminology. It's the Miami Dolphins offense. I like that.
 
(On saying that Coach Mularkey will use the Dolphins system) – “Doesn't that make perfect sense? Isn't it the Dolphins offense? We have the Miami Dolphins team. Everybody that works does what we want to do as Miami Dolphins. Everybody makes personal contributions to that relative to their personal knowledge and experience. But we don't change systems just because we've got one new guy walking in the building. Why would we change it for all the players on offense? We want to build on what we have. And the people we bring into the organization will help us do that.â€Â

That right there is huge boys and girls. Hopefully we can stay on a roll offensively. :dolphins:
 
One of my faves:

(On whether people's expectations will be higher for the Dolphins in 2006 after a 9-7 record this season) – "I don't care what people expect. You can put this on ESPN or kill me over it again and all that. We're going to focus on the process of what we need to do to improve our team and make good choices and decisions about doing that. I have expectations. That's what I worry about is what are our expectations, goals and how can we get all of our people working together as a team - players, coaches, people in the organization - so we have the best chance to be successful. That's all I focus on and worry about. What happens externally does not affect what we do internally."

Awesome :up:

Gus did a nice job for us this year. Hopefully, he'll be able to continue to do that. But I think long term, we certainly need to get somebody that can be a potential starter for us down the road and add depth and quality at that position short term.â€Â

Cold Lies.
 
Speechless..it's amazing how much you can learn from Saban and how you can catch some stuff he says that applies (sp?) not only to the game but some way in your life.

That's how you learn. You don't gather the information to be critical. You don't gather the information to evaluate people's opinion. You gather the information to try to learn from it so that maybe we can do a better job of evaluating the next time around. That's how you improve.

Sometimes I try not be over-excited about our future, but when you read stuff like this interview, it's impossible not to think: We won the big lottery.

:dolphins:
 
too lazy to read the whole thing....thanks for posting special quotes guys...keep em coming
 
What a unique concept... require the new coaches to learn the exisiting terminology rather than have the players learn a new system/terminology. BRILLIANT!!!!

What can we gather from this statement? It is very hard to get a feel for what Saban is thinking.

My take on this statement is that he plans to keep Frerotte around and look for a different backup QB. The kind of guy that could take over the starting job. But is that going to be another veteran? Or a rookie from the draft? Because he said "add depth and quality at that position short term", I have to think he is looking at a few free agents. As much as I would like to see Miami get Cutler, it just doesn't feel right. I'm starting to think Saban will go defense with the 16th pick, especially since there is more talk going on about offensive players in the early part of the first round.
