He infuriated Dolphins fans by insisting he would not leave for the Alabama job -- then did just that. He infuriated LSU fans by taking over a divisional rival just two years after he had left the Bayou to pursue what he claimed was a life-long NFL dream, then getting caught on tape referring to Cajuns as "coon-asses." Alabama fans hadn't much cared what others thought about their $4 million-a-year supposed savior until back-to-back losses to Mississippi State and (gulp!) Louisiana-Monroe dropped the Crimson Tide to 6-5. Now Saban has infuriated fans of good taste everywhere by likening those two defeats to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. And he hasn't even played Auburn yet.
