		Saban held a press conference where he said, "Because Cookie has asked the forgiveness of his teammates and admitted to me he has been 1000% wrong in incidents leading to his dismissal, I have reconsidered and will give him an opportunity to prove he is a part of the Buffalo Bills team.

		In November, Cookie was cut by coach Lou Saban after refusing to take the field in the first half of a game, against the Boston Patriots.
		The Bills went on to lose their first game after winning nine in a row and some say Gilchrist was used as a scapegoat by Saban in a ploy to ignite the team and to solidify his hold on the team.
		Saban really had no choice, the Bills were on a roll and were riding a great defense but without Cookie they had no chance of winning anything.

		Saban got the plum Miami job simply because he is Belichick's friend and fellow Croatian.
		Saban may be good with X and O, but from his press conference, he came across as a pre-Brady robotic Bill Belichick, giving lecture in power point about creating a "system".
		I'll give Saban credit for one thing so far, he probably was instrumental in the Dolphins not going of their way to raid the Patriots coaching staff.

		After months of rumor and speculation, Nick Lou Saban traded in his Tiger stripes for Dolphin fins after leading LSU to a 9-3 record, one year removed from a BCS National Championship.
		Nine wins represents a good season for a lot of teams, but it was viewed as a failure in Baton Rouge where the memories of Saban and his team holding the crystal football aloft were still fresh in the fans’ minds.
		Combine Saban’s pressure with the weight of post-National Championship expectations and it’s little wonder the season ended the way it did – no trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game, and a last-second loss to Iowa in the Capital One Bowl.
