Dolphins | Saban wants NFL to adopt NCAA replay system

Harvey Fialkov, of the Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban would like for the NFL to adopt the college football replay system, in which a replay official can review and overrule a ruling made by an on-field official. "I did go home on Saturday night, and I watched parts of several college football games," Saban said. "Man, that seems like it works a whole lot better to me. They just look at in the booth and if the official messed it up, they fix it."

I don't that's a bad idea at all.

Seems to work pretty good although I thought they got a bit carried away in the Florida State/Miami game.
Seems like they were stopping every play to review and very seldom changing the call.

Saban's an idiot.
I watched that game very closely and I watched Saban hesitate to the last second to throw that flag and when he did he did it in a way that nobody would really see it.
IMO all he was trying to do is have something to complain about if they didn't see it, which is exaclty what happened and a week later he's still crying about it.

That was the biggest pussy toss of a flag I have ever seen.
He should be banned from the league just for that

LOL, yeah, he pump faked the red flag before he threw it onto the field.

To top it off it was an underhanded toss with a limp wrist.
Come to think of it, he should have been ejected.

It was a double pump fake followed by a limp wrist throw, followed by a look from Saban that was priceless because he knew he just bought himself a complaint for the week and people might jump on his side and the team wouldn't think he was complete moron.


I actually don't know alot about Saban but from what I had read in the past I respected him, but after bringing in Marcus "I pull guns on mofo's and stomp on other players legs during game play" Vick and this cowardly act of flag throwing I lost all respect for him.

;D ;D ;D, I'm not sure if I would put New Mexico and the limp wristed flag toss in the same category.

Saban is an idiot and a whiner.
The would make every single play reviewable, and the pace of the game would slow down to, well, a college football pace.
