BATON ROUGE — LSU coach Nick Saban said he will make a decision on whether or not to accept an offer to become the next coach of the Miami Dolphins in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Saban acknowledged that he again met with officials from the Miami Dolphins on Thursday followed by a meeting with LSU Director of Athletics Skip Bertman.
“In the next 24 to 48 hours we’ll make a decision regarding the head coaching position of the Miami Dolphins,” Saban said. “We certainly appreciate everyone’s support, patience and understanding during this very difficult process.”
“This is a gut-wrenching decision for Nick and he needs, and deserves, the time necessary to make the right decision for him and his family,” Bertman said.
