His last significant season in Miami he touched the ball on 75% of offensive snaps. Without him, that team took a serious plunge. I think in a couple more years Saban would have had that team going to the playoffs. If he were in the NFC, he probably would have gotten them there last year.
Saban had TOTAL controll of that team. HE made the decisions that led them to losing. You can make excuses for him and sit in fear if you want. In his entire career as a coach he has exactly 2 ten win seasons. He is a good coach but not all that some are making him.
