Man, what a freaking spineless wimp Saban is. The guy didn't even have the nuts to personally meet with the owner and his coaching staff. Look at this:

SABAN BLEW OFF HUIZENGA
Our pal Alex Marvez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports in a 10:34 a.m. EST item that former Fins coach Nick Saban failed to show for a Wednesday morning meeting with Miami owner Wayne Huizenga, and that Saban informed Huizenga by phone of his decision to depart the Dolphins for Alabama.
As we reported within the past hour, it is confirmed that Saban is on a plane for Tuscaloosa.
More details to come.

"RESTRAINED JUBILATION" IN SOUTH FLORIDA
In the immediate wake of Nick Saban's departure from the Miami Dolphins, the prevailing mood in the building is, to quote the doctor who informed George Costanza of his fiancé's demise, "restrained jubilation".
Make no mistake about it -- Saban was hated by nearly everyone in the building, with the most notable exception being his in-house spy and ball washer (especially when not golfing) Scott O'Brien.
And Saban surely knew it. Why else would he choose not to face his coaching staff and tell them in person that he was leaving? Instead, Saban let them know of the decision by phone, prompting some of the assistant coaches and veteran players to label him as a "f--king pussy".
Me-ow.
We're also hearing that Saban's wife had a big role in the final decision to leave Miami, which according to owner Wayne Huizenga was the result of various factors unrelated to money. "I've been through this with Nick for quite some time now," said Huizenga, who apparently was complicit with Saban in the string of flat denials regarding Saban's possible departure. "I feel the pain and so forth and so on of both Nick and Terry."
With Saban gone, there are plenty of folks in the franchise who are feeling anything but pain.
