​Nick Saban is lauded as being the best coach in college football and it's hard to argue that sentiment with his resume of five national championships and counting.





But just because he possesses a great football mind doesn't mean Saban isn't a little crazy.





A former player from Saban's time with the Miami Dolphins, wide receiver P.K. Sam, couldn't hold his Saban story in any longer. And he certainly didn't intend it to paint the coach as cute and ornery.





Sam tweeted that the coach cut him from the team 10 years ago because he flew home to hug his dad before he passed away.

Thank you nick saban @AlabamaFTBL. 10 yrs ago today you cut me from the @MiamiDolphins bc I flew home to hug my dad before he died. CLASSY! — P.K. Sam (@Gatorkiller2003) December 14, 2016

The discipline Saban employs to turn boys into men at the college level clearly didn't translate well to a NFL locker room, especially with this player. After all, this tale goes far beyond some phony discipline.
