Saban says he selected Brees

Not really an SECr topic (they have it on page 1 if you wanna troll however) since this is about Saban and NFL but I found this interesting.
I don't think Saban "failed" in NFL as he was only 2 games under .500 and the Dolphins have been horrible since even with Jimmy Johnson they were nothing special.
Some speculation is Saban is using this to possibly get another NFL gig (I doubt considering his age) but could use it as a pay raise.
quote:
“We chose Drew Brees,” Saban told Dan Le Batard of 790 The Ticket in Miami. “I’ve never ever talked about this publicly. . . . That’s the guy we made the first offer to.”
Saban said that Brees failed the physical after Brees and the Dolphins had agreed to terms. Brees had suffered a shoulder injury during the final game of the 2005 regular season.

Saban failed. He should go to the cowboys to redeem himself.

The man literally said he doesn't want to leave, and his wife literally said she won't leave. What more do you people need to realize that he isn't leaving. He will continue to make your fall seasons a living hell for years to come.

I'd say that too if I chose culpepper over Brees

The Brees / saban duo would have been AMAZING.

Saban was a clown in the NFL. A terrible coach. He was afraid to go in his own locker room. 
Players and coaches had zero respect for him. Anyone that doubts this needs to find that special on 10 worst college to pro coaches.

That is Saban's side of the story. First of all, team doctors can pass someone with a torn ACL and fail someone for a cold if they want to. There was no way that a doctor was going to clear either Brees or Culpepper at the point they were at with their injuries. I didn't think it was a team doctor decision either, Saban went on the advice of Dr. Andrews who said Culpepper had a better shot at starting training camp healthy than Brees. So yea, he chose Culpepper over Brees.
LSU fans need to get over Saban, I'm a LSU and Dolphin fan and I think some of these Saban posts are pathetic.

So he's now on record stating that
1) He's not going to coach Alabama.
2) His first choice was Drew Brees.
Saban had total control over personnel in that organization. Dante Culpepper came into Miami with basically one functional knee and somehow passed a physical. Horrible physicians? More likely, I think Saban saw him as less of a risk.

Except for when they won the division under Sparano, right?
