CNS possibly quiets rumors

[2Stater]

Was on Dan LaBatard's radio show in Miami.  He is addressing a question concerning his departure from Miami.

"I think the biggest thing was probably not handling the way I left very well," Saban said on the show. "That's always been a thing with me that I've never felt good about it. The one thing that I don't have any regret about was the relationship that I had with the players and the job that I did for the Dolphins and Mr. Huizenga. We all learn from ourselves."

When asked by LeBatard whether Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga had an arrangement with Saban allowing the coach to leave if he wasn't happy in the position, Saban said that while there was no official, Huizenga made it clear that he would understand if Saban ever decided to return to college football.

"He was very understanding of our situation. I think in that, it was kind of mutually understood that if this is not for you, I would understand it.

Saban was also asked about whether he would entertain a return to the NFL in the future.

"This has been a good thing for my family to be here," Saban said. "College football has been very good for us. The positive impact that you can have on these young men as players and as people, that's just something that we really enjoy and something that I learned about myself."

"I really enjoy what I'm doing here right now. I'm getting old now. I don't think we've got too many moves left in us. You develop a lot of relationships and loyalties to the players you recruit and the players you have on the team and the people you have in the organization. I don't think it's really fair to leave. I regretted when I left LSU because I left a lot of relationships there. Hopefully I'll be able to stay here for a long, long time."

When asked about the perception that he is unhappy, Saban said the perception does not match up with reality.

"Maybe I don't always show it and maybe I'm always worried about the next game. I'm happy, I'm very, very happy. I'm very pleased and happy with what we've been able to accomplish here."

"We haven't practiced for two weeks since that game so I haven't had the chance to yell at anybody. We start practice tomorrow so everybody better tie it on."

You can read into it what you want, but I'm convinced he's staying.

Sounds good.  Forget the clutter, the only thing he is concentrating on is winning the next game.

I do not think CNS is going anywhere. I think he is happy at Alabama and his family is happy in Tuscaloosa. With that said if he is thinking about going to the NFL or another school he will not tell us.

I think the main party is happy. The Mrs. is happy then ain't going nowhere. If she gets unhappy then all bets are off. RTR!
