The day after winning the BCS national championship, Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban put to bed all rumors that he'd return to the coaching in the NFL.

Saban said his two-year stint with the Miami Dolphins taught him the college ranks "is where I belong, and I'm really happy and at peace with all that.

"How many times do you think I've been asked to put it to rest?" Saban said. "And I've put it to rest, and you continue to ask it. So I'm going to say it today, that -- you know, I think somewhere along the line you've got to choose. You learn a lot from the experiences of what you've done in the past.

"I came to the Miami Dolphins, what, eight years ago for the best owner, the best person that I've ever had the opportunity to work for? And in the two years that I was here, had a very, very difficult time thinking that I could impact the organization in the way that I wanted to or the way that I was able to in college, and it was very difficult for me."

Saban's Alabama team has won the BCS title for the third time in four years with a 42-14 win over Norte Dame
