posted for all those thinking he was patient. Posted on Thu, Jan. 20, 2005 Saban pledges patience in seeking Dolphins turnaround DAVIE, Fla. - New Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban wants to build a foundation for long-term success rather than trying to rush a turnaround from a 4-12 season. In his first 2 1/2 weeks on job, Saban has focused on assembling a staff, evaluating tapes of last season's Miami games and preparing to shop for free agents. Assessing college players will take priority next week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. "There's a lot to do," Saban said Thursday, when he met with reporters for the first time since his introductory news conference. "I feel good about where we're at, where we're going, what we have to do. I don't feel overwhelmed at all. Do I wish I could get a little more done more quickly? Absolutely. I'm not the most patient guy in the world." >rest here<
