I am sure Saban would love to win a preseason game just for the sake of notching a win but he isn't vain enough to think that is a necessity right now. Since this is his first year with all of these players with this team he must evaluate "all" of the players and not just the new additions and rookies. I can imagine it must be exceptionally difficult to incorporate new defensive and offensive schemes and evaluate talent at the same time. I am not naive enough to think there are not other new head coaches who are in similar situations, but Saban faces unique circumstances in Miami with no established Quarterback, no established offensive line, questions at running backs and underachieving wide receivers and tight ends. You also must take into consideration that Miami lost a starting LB and has only one regular returning, (J. Taylor) from Miami's original starting defensive line, (Chester may still be back). Saban has a daunting task and I am sure he will use every minute of every preseason game to evaluate existing talent and to find the best way to utilize the availbale talent he has on this team.
