Nick Saban leaves Dolphins, returns to NCAA
Miami Dolphins' head coach Nick Saban has left the team and has decided to return to college football. Saban will not only return to the NCAA, but he will return to the same conference in which he last coached with the LSU Tigers: the SEC. Saban will coach the Alabama Crimson Tide next season, and possibly for the next eight years, as he reportedly agreed to an eight-year, $32 million contract. Saban went 15-17 in two seasons with the Dolphins. His Dolphins were one of the NFL's most disappointing teams this season, finishing 6-10.
Pat Riley takes leave of absence
Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley took a leave of absence on Wednesday due to hip and knee problems. Riley will undergo surgery on Friday to remove floating chips in his right knee. He has not yet scheduled hip surgery, even though that is what is hindering the 61-year old Riley the most right now. Despite the possibility that Riley will not be with the team for a while, he says he is not re-signing by any means. "I'm going to be displaced for a while, but not disconnected at all," said the Miami coach. However, it is not yet known when Riley will return. The Heat have gone 13-17 in 30 games under Riley this season. Assistant coach Ron Rothstein will take over as interim head coach for the time being.
