Do you not remember the courting of Saban by Alabama? That played out nearly identical to this except in the end Saban didn't jump this time.

A HOF coach that's lost most of the fanbase and is way past his prime being forced out (sound familiar?) isn't that outlandish. Add in the fact that it's, by far, the best job in the countryand Saban is known as more of a 'builder' rather than a 'maintainer', well it almost seemed like a match made in heaven. Almost.

Saban was Bama's third or fourth choice that year. Remember Rich Rod strung them along before finally backing out. Saban was their last ditch effort to get someone of any significance. And again, when the rumors started it was a matter of 2 or 3 days. This "Saban to Texas" nonsense has been going on all season with "insiders" just throwing gas on the fire.

If not, they are in the top five. At times, Ohio State, Southern Cal, Florida, and Michigan give them a run for their money. Notre Dame too.

NCAAF After repeated denials, Saban takes Bama job - ESPN

Alabama was all over Saban for a month and a half before he finally said yes. He was not their "3rd or 4th choice". They were after Rich Rod hard before they knew Saban had interest.

Not surprised. Brown will come out more fired up next yr, and may surprise folks. And he may just ride into the sunset after next year. TX fans will still go to games and UTX will still crap money. They'll just approach it better next yr, and Sexton will be there dangling it under bamas nose...again.

Why would next year be any different? If Texas actually thought they had a realistic chance of signing Saban, do you think there is any chance Mack Brown would still be their coach?

No. Saban will never coach Texas. I really believe this solidified the theory that he will retire at Bama.

I never said saban would leave next year all I said was that it would be dangled again under bamas nose to get more money. R u as confident as u were that Brown was leaving that that won't happen??

Mixed emotions on this.

Kind of liked the thought of the bammer meltdown that would have ensued with Saban to Texas... But my consolation prize is seeing longhorn arrogance again deserving of ridicule.

From what's being reported, Saban's signed for what Bama offered before the hub bub about Brown being let go picked up. It's not appearing that a hypothetical offer moved the rate up.

Was this year an extension year or did being attached to the "brown getting fired" stuff cause the extension talk?? The #s of the extension confirmed yet?

Situation was still quite different. Moving from NCAA to NFL or vice versa is different than what is basically a lateral move in college (Yes I know Texas has a few more appealing benefits that Bama but right now Saban has Bama at the top).

Not to mention the job was never officially open. Name one time that a high profile coach was replaced while still employeed (HC in waiting doesn't count).

In response to a new rumor on Shaggy saying Texas will throw the bank at Jim Harbaugh.

$#@! mack $#@!stainbrown. I'm not going to watch a single $#@!in game next season if that piece of $#@!in trash is still here.

ctc2 09:02 PM Today
I'll watch but not getting another dollar. When I watch I will enjoy that senile, petty, fat, but rich $#@!er be subject to more ridicule than he can understand.


shaggybeaver 09:11 PM Yesterday
I just can't seem to drink fast enough. Mack, you old senile bastard, just bound and determined to run this $#@!er straight into the ground aren't you??!! Please go $#@!ing choke on a chicken bone tonight.
