Is Saban Going to Miami

LSU head coach Nick Saban and the Miami Dolphins are currently in discussion over Saban joining the Dolphin organization. It has been rumored the Dolphins are offering Saban $5million a year and the GM position as well. Many LSU fans do not believe Saban would leave the team. However it is my opinion he will be leaving just one year after winning a co-national championship. Saban who came from Michigan State is in the first year of a new 7 year contract that pays him 2.7 million this year. Some have speculated Tommy Tubberville may want the job at LSU. Other names mentioned if Saban leaves are 49ers Head Coach Dennis Erickson and LSU assistant Jimbo Fisher. Personally I think Fisher should be given the opportunity but the Tiger faithful will probably not give him the chance.
