Then again, who knows? There’s a lot of money to be had from boosters and Saban would have been a huge “get” that would have satisfied fans long enough to give him a real shot at rebuilding the program.

The Dolphins have had a disappointing season. Then again, Culpepper has not gotten healthy and you’re relying on Joey Frickin’ Harrison as your starting QB. Historically, that has not been a recipe for success, especially in a division with the Pats and resurgent Jets.
