Nick Saban had a legendary coaching career, but that doesn't mean it came without regrets.

During an episode of The Pivot with Ryan Clark, Saban revealed that his biggest regret during his coaching career was leaving LSU to coach the Miami Dolphins in December of 2004. At that point, Saban had spent five seasons at LSU and the Tigers had gone 48–16 on his watch while winning two SEC titles and a national championship during the 2003 season. They went 9–3 in 2004 before Saban tried his hand in the NFL.
