"nuts, when Sark left Alabama after winning asst. coach of the year, he said he owed Saban and Bama his life as they hired him after getting fired from USC for alcohol consumption and resultant actions. Now he hasn't signed the extension and raise at Texas for the CFP appearance and Saban has said he really wants to help Bama with the transition. Having lost Bo Davis, our stud DL coach to LSU, looks like we are heading back to the Tom Herman era."

He's not leaving Texas nor does he want to follow Saban.

He didn't sign because he probably had a hint that Nick was looking to retire, and knows that Texas would bend over backwards to keep him. He didn't sign because he knew a bigger payday was just around the corner. Texas has more money and they value him more than Bama.

If Sark uses Sexton, as I believe Saban did, Jimmy Sexton might've been one of the first to know Saban was retiring.

It's not hard math from there to see Sexton suggesting several coaches delay signing any extension or new contract.

Which of the names being mentioned are Sexton's clients?

That’s allegedly how we ended up with Pruitt. Sexton used his leverage and pressured Fulmer into picking him.

I could see Sexton hinting: "He's a good hire. I'm pretty sure, also, nobody else is really interested. And I talk to a lot of people, you know?"

Is it conflict of interest if the AD has the same agent as the coaching candidate?

I've really no idea where those lines are legally.

Sexton has been around forever. He represented Reggie White, etc. By now, he's probably at the Vito Corleone stage and taking him down is unlikely.

The reality is: college football has been incredibly financially exploited WELL before players began to get paid via NIL. My soapbox is and was: it's a little late to complain that money is ruining the sport.

Sexton is Exhibit A for how much harm people can do to college athletics when they don't give a damn about its longevity or health - only about extracting maximum value from it while it has a pulse. He is the very prototype for money above all else, and schools let him fester for far too long.

It's the Walmart issue for capitalism.

How do you tell a business, you're simply too big and too good at this? You ruin small businesses and entrepreneurs because they can't compete.

Walmart says: I thought the idea of capitalism was to compete as hard as you can to get ahead.

Sexton easily says: I'm not forcing anyone use my services. Lots of other agents are out there. I'm just good at what I do.

I think it will probably be Kiffin. It doesn’t make sense for any of the other coaches mentioned to leave the schools they are already at. Sarkinsan has already said he wants to stay at Texas.

Norvell just took a 10 million dollar per year deal. I had him second most likely. I wouldn’t be surprised if this bump in pay followed Bama reaching out to him.

If I were a Bama fan, I would consider hiring Kiffin as "settling for."

How so? Just curious as to reasoning. To me he seems like the best hire and only candidate at a school where he is limited by resources. Yet he still has returned a flailing Ole Miss program into a 11 win program. I don’t think any of the coaches that are realistic hires could have done what Kiffin has. That said, Kiffin at Bama is scary to me. I think he is the only person who could continue Bama’s level of success if not return it to dominance over Georgia.

As a Friday funny, it’s certainly funny to me that nobody (especially outside VOLNation) has mentioned Pruitt (recall there were many Bama folks saying he would gain experience with VOLs to be ready to takeover for Saban) nor Sciano (hasn’t he done a fine job at Rutgers)? 😎

From my Texas friend:

Turns out Jimmy Sexton, his guru sports agent, had told Sark to say nothing for additional leverage in negotiating his new contract, then his players asked him. Per Orangebloods.

The reason I said settling was that he did not seem to be on their tier 1 list- IMO. Tier 1 was DeBoer, Fanning, Sark, and Norvell.

I wouldn’t have guessed any of those names would have considered leaving, but I was wrong. I think Kiffin has accomplished more at Ole Miss than these other coaches have at their respective programs. FSU only had to improve in the ACC, Deboer in Fanning in the PAC, Sark had the resources of TX and down years for OK and Kiffin made his turn around in the SEC West. Regardless, it’s all moot. I’m curious if Bama takes a step back at least long enough for Tennessee to make some strides!
