Saban is Gone

I'm not surprised in the least, but as noted on Stuck in the Palmetto a little while ago, Saban really mucked up the whole process with his lack of honesty. He did it to LSU, and now he does it to the Dolphins.

According to this report by ESPN, he didn't even bother to show up at Dolphins HQ to meet with coaches, owner Wayne Huizenga and the media. He called up his coaches via telephone conference.

I wish him luck, but as good of an NFL coach as he may or may not have been had he stayed, this is NOT a devastating loss for the Dolphins. A slap in the face, yes. But Saban is not irreplaceable.
