CBS Sportsline reports with the release of DE Rodrique Wright earlier in the day, the Miami Dolphins have just one member of their 2006 draft class still with the team. CB Jason Allen - former HC Nick Saban's first draft pick - wasn't on the most solid footing, either, but his special-teams value remains high.

If you throw taking Culpepper over Brees into the mix, it is grounds for execution! I mean seriously, HOW IN THE WORLD did we not sign Drew Brees?!?!??!? :crazy: I will never be able to get over that. Thanks Saban.
 
Thank god he had that insider knowledge of SEC players, don't know what he might have done otherwise.
 
Maybe this was the plan? Maybe he hated Miami, so he told Alabama he will set us back as far as he can for 2 years, and then he'll quit the job and join them, while Alabama pays Cam Cameron 1 million dollars to set us back even more years, and try as hard as he can to make us go 0-16?
 
we should try and have Jason Allen return kicks for us maybe he will be a good Return guy
 
I hated Saban's personality, but he was a good football mind. I did not say he was a great football mind, like most here thought, including myself. I am also not saying that I'd want him as our coach. But he did leave his mark here, too.

He drafted Ronnie (my favorite current Phin tied with JT), Crowder (most underrated Phin, watch his big year this year), and Roth (still unknown what he is to this team in the long term). He also helped craft a defense that led to JT's amazing DPOY season (remember the "CPR" TD celebration in the season opener against Denver?).

Besides, wasn't Randy Mueller involve in the 2006 draft? That guy may be more of a schmuck than the lying POS Saint Nick is. Plus, we only had a 1, 3, 4, and three 7's that year. We over achieved the year before, giving us the 16th overall, when we probably deserved top 10.

I'm just sayin.

he is a great College Football mind he just isnt that good for NFL
 
No one hates Saban more than me, but I'd concede that he's a helluva college coach for whatever school he's presently carpetbagging for. However, on the biggest stage, he goes down as a 2-under .500 mediocre HC at best. And being a quitter when he understood he was in over his head wipes out any possible claims of extenuating circumstances. When it dawned on him that the only ones he could still bully were the office staff and not grown men, he scurried off like a rat smelling cheese back to the environment of impressionable, harrassable kids worried about their scholarships.

Now being a mediocre coach doesn't mean he was a mediocre Fins hire. He was ****ing worse!!! Essentially out of 14 draft picks and I don't know how many UFA signings (vs. hello Bess and Carpenter), all that's left to show for it are 2 reasonable successes, another on which the jury's still out plus a 1st rounder who every year is on the ropes. If that's a measurement of success, then Eric Mangini is a stud!

The only good things I can say about his Fins tenure is that unbelievably he wasn't our worst HC, and by being a lying quitter, he actually did set the wheels in motion for a complete overhaul of the team starting 2 years later when the Tuna was ready for a new challenge... which probably wouldn't have occurred under his regime.

I will never forget how Saban had this Miami team stick it to the Patriots with a shutout and had the PAtriots feeling like they were spied on with those "tapes" Miami used to get ready for them... One of the best days of being a Miami fan.... For me anyway.

Anyone see Tom Brady's press conference when asked about the controversy surrounding Miami's tapes?? That was the first time Tom Brady ever lashed out and showed any frustration towards the media...

Loved it... Thank you Saban for that experience. Too bad the NFL fanbase was not big enough for Saban to stay... Much more fan passion involved in college football.
 
Look Miami is searching real hard for KR/PR. They put in a claim for Figurs today and were unable to claim him. Miami wants a KR/PR real bad and I think if they find one Jason Allen is gone. Just my opinion.
 
Saban could have done some good things in the NFL but he was too obsessed with keeping the team above .500, which sounds like a good idea except when a team is obviously in need of serious rebuilding. At first I was all for signing some veterans as we built up the younger talent on the team but by the second season he clearly showed that he had no intention of doing that as he kept adding veterans in desperation.
