"Fundamentally Unbelievable"

Nick Saban has decided to leave the Miami Dolphins to coach the Alabama Crimson Tide. The coaching deal is for a guaranteed $32 million over eight years. Saban had repeatedly denied having any interest in the 'Bama job, many of which are recorded in the linked story. Pat Forde says Saban is a liar and "fundamentally unbelievable." Ouch. I don't understand leaving the NFL for college when you've been given everything you asked for in the NFL, but Saban must have found something that he wanted more back in college. I have to say I find this somewhat amusing. Every team that has lured Saban away with money and opportunity has had to be on the receiving end a few years later. I hope Alabama remembers that.
