Nope, we’re not kidding.
Per the Miami Herald, (the citing of which is sort of but not exactly like kidding), freshly ousted Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Mike Shula has had not one but two interviews for the Miami Dolphins head coaching job. You know, the very job vacated by Jesus H. “Nick” Saban, who took Shula’s job at Alabama.
That’s just messed up right there. Miami hiring Mike Shula would be dumber than green bean casserole without those little fried onions from a can on top.
We’ll kick this off by reminding you that we’ve always said that Nick Saban is a damn good coach but definitely not the infallable football god many people (himself included) believe him to be.There are plenty of coaches, past and present, with more wins, more trophies, higher winning percentages, and better recruiting abilities.

ESPN.com is reporting that Miami coach Nick Saban has asked Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga to give him until Wednesday to announce a decision on whether he’ll stay with the Dolphins or head over to Tuscaloosa.
It was reported earlier that Bama wanted an answer by this afternoon. No word yet on if they’re willing to extend the deadline, although we’re sure they are, especially if they feel confident they’re going to get the answer they way.
Based on this development, we’re altering our earlier prediction.
