PK Sam claims Nick Saban cut him for flying home to hug father before he died

Nick Saban

Nick Saban is well known for being tough on his players, but one former NFL wide receiver who played for him claims the coaching style resulted in a lack of basic human decency when Saban was in charge of the Miami Dolphins.

P.K. Sam, a former Florida State star who bounced around the NFL for a few years before playing in the CFL, claimed on Wednesday that Saban released him because Sam flew home to be with his father, who was terminally ill.

While we hope there is a lot more to the story than that, this isn’t the first we have heard about Saban having been heartless when it came to cutting players. NFL reporter Alex Marvez recently said that a player once found out from the media that he was being released by the Dolphins — during a team charity event no less.

These are just a few of the reasons we never put much stock into juicy rumors like this one. Saban’s style is much more suited for college athletes, and there are more than a few NFL players who did not like playing for him. But if he truly cut Sam for going home to visit his dying father, that’s just plain wrong.
