It's official, Dolphins head coach Nick Saban is taking the Alabama job (can you say Rick Pitino?) - check out the Pregame Wire for more breaking news and wiseguy moves.

This doesn't surprise me at all, but I am growing tired of seeing guys say they have no interest in coaching in the NFL, then going there for a year or two (like Spurrier) only to head back to school.  Saban screwed the Bears before they hired Lovie Smith, saying he had no interest in pro football and proceeded to take the Miami job.  Hopefully, we won't see this guy back in the NFL anytime soon...

This guy thought he fooled everyone....when in reality - he was just trying to fool himself

I think this should end the debate about great college coaches being successful in the NFL once and for all.  Saban was a failure in my opinion just like Pitino in the NBA and should stick to the college game.  I give Pete Carroll a lot of credit for realizing what he does best and not getting tempted by the almighty dollar.

I also love how Saban waits for the day of his former school's biggest game of the year to steal headlines from them AND goes to an SEC rival.  Can't wait until LSU/Alabama next year...mark your calendars for November 10th in Tuscaloosa!

This isn't a great quality to have as a college coach when recruiting...Kids will start to question Saban if he says he's going to be at Alabama forever.

No doubt - I can't stand this guy and will be rooting against him and the Tide.

I think he did a okay job at Miami based off the talent level.

When he was at Michigan State I knew some players on the team and they had little respect for him. The one bowl game they had in Hawaii they said all the players were out late trying to party the night before the game. Think State got smoked by like 30 the next day.

Well he was also a power-hungry GM with the Dolphins, one of the main reasons he ditched the Bears and chose Miami.  So he was pretty instrumental in picking Daunte Culpepper over Drew Brees to be the team's starting QB this year.  Oops.

Contracts and integity all not what they used to be. I don't care much for Saban but predict he will win a national title at Bama, then leave.

I doubt he wins another national championship (and technically is sharing one), but that's just my opinion.
