    And that is why you are where you are and he is coaching the Miami Dolphins.That is what separates the greats from the average. The ability to do what is necessary to achieve ones goals, even if it means turning down an invitation by the Pres. It's all about priorities, and his main priority is his team.

    The word Precedence is a synonym for priority.

    Its Nick Saban's world we're just living in it. The man has his priorities straight.

    I kind of like the gig that I have. It's less flashy and doesn't pay seven figures but I wouldn't trade it. And had this been his daughter (of course I don't know if he has one) he turned down for dinner we would all be singing a different tune. I have 2 daughters and have never missed a ball game, school play or choir performance. That's how I gauge success of my life at my house. Football is a game in the big scope of life.

    Why would the coach of the Dolphins want to have dinner with a Cowboys fan? (Just assuming W is a 'Boys fan)

    ..."As coach at Louisiana State, Saban met Bush when the team visited the White House after winning the 2003 national championship"...

    Holy cow.. they didn't say we "shared" the title... and this is an AP article?? THAT, I did not expect...

    I didn't mean to imply that your gig is insignificant, but that Saban's job takes much more devotion and dedication than most. He did what he felt was best. Who are we to question?

    Yeah well it was still nonetheless shocking to see that they didn't go out of their way to say it was a shared championship like they normally do. I guess they're finally getting over it.. lol
