saying Linehan/Saban are another. Well, I would not go as far as to say that. And the guy who said Minnesota never ran the football is wrong as well. They do run the football, but they did spread it out with all their backs. It is more aggressive in attempting to move the ball down field, and I would say Saban may make some more conservative changes, especially when the Dolphins get near the goal line. That would not shock me. And I want to remind this board that when Saban was hired and when changes occurred most of the folks on this board acknowledged this would be a work in progress. But you know that didn't change a thing did it. Still venting, negativity etc. That is just football and disappointment. In the back of our minds we hope for good things, and vent, and then come to the realization we acknowledged some time ago. Playoffs? Not this year unless a dramatic turn-around occurs. Progress on becoming a team? Hopefully. The coaching staff is as much a new team as the players. Don't under estimate that fact.

I don't mind. I hated some of the calls in close when the games been on the line but for the most part I've been OK with the play calling. I've always said I hated how Wanny played offense "not to lose" and always said I wanted the team to "play to win" even if the risk is greater.
 
I think Saban would tell you if Linehan is a problem....

The prob is not Saban its Linehan
Saban is a problem. He is not generally going to single out a coach without shouldering some of that. He is a team guy and he holds himself accountable as the head coach. Just like a captain on a ship or a leader for a group of soldiers, the leader is accountable in some manner for the actions of their men. I realize Linehan is actually making the specific call, but that call is ultimately signed off by you know who.
