Why Miamians should root for Nick Saban tonight...

"Grass is blue, the sky is red
and I will not be
the next head coach at
Alabama." - Nick Saban

If you live in Miami or are a Dolphins fan, you likely aren't a big fan of Nick Saban. The Alabama head coach will be playing for his fourth college national title tonight, his third with Alabama, against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Surely, there will be some misguided Miami folk still wishing for the professional destruction of Nick Saban. Who can blame them? Especially after the now infamous, "I guess I have to say it, I'm not going to be the Alabama coach." Saban went on to meet with Alabama officials on January 1st, 2007, after ending the Dolphins season with a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. On January 4th, 2007, Saban was officially introduced as the Crimson Tide's new coach.
Pretty hard to like someone after they blatantly lie to you, but it's time to let go. Nick Saban already has multiple BCS national championships and will likely play for more.

Win or lose tonight, he will likely go down as one of the best college coaches of all time. The Dolphins seem to be headed in the right direction (finally) with Joe Philbin in as head coach and Ryan Tannehill showing promise.
So why even bother rooting against him against another enemy? That's right, I said enemy.

The infamous 1988 fumble that never was.
Cost the Hurricanes a national title
that year.

If you are from Miami, you likely are also a fan of the Miami Hurricanes. If you root against Nick Saban tonight, you are rooting for the team and the school that called your guys convicts. They painted themselves as the good guys, riding around on their moral high horse and labeled you the bad when they likely had just as many bad apples.Not to mention the straight beat down they put on the Hurricanes earlier this year to the tune of 41-3 in Chicago.

Just think about it like this Miami fans, when was the last time the Hurricanes won a national title? 2001.  Do you really want Notre Dame to be able to say that they have the most recent title AND that they won it on your field? I hate to say it but **SIGH** Roll Tide.
