Saban to replace Mack Brown?

AUSTIN, Texas -- The Associated Press has learned that a University of Texas Longhorns regent and a former regent spoke with Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban's agent about Saban coaching the Longhorns if Mack Brown retired.

Who is Robert? LOL! Ooops, I didn't realize my typo. I think they will let Mack go if they can get Saban.

What I'll say here depends completely on the allegations against Alabama and if the NCAA starts an investigation against them. Yahoo Sports had a very detailed report of players getting cash money at Bama. Gotta love the $EC.

If nothing happens with that, Saban will stay. Sorry, shorthorns, but he's going to make $48 mil in 8 years; and he's still under contract until 2019. He's currently making $5.62mil, and gets a minimum $100,000 annual raise every year from now to 2019. I believe his contract has a buyout...and even UT wouldn't be able to pay it.

It's just not going to happen.....UNLESS the NCAA brings the boom on Bama.

Texas can offer the $7 or $8 mil I've heard bantered about...but Bama's ready to exceed that and even go to $10 mil if need be.

I don't see this happening.

A more likely scenario would be Charlie Strong being hired by UT.

Did you just call my team the "shorthorns"? Are you tired of living?

“Nothing went on that I know of. I don’t know about any of this stuff,” Saban said on his weekly radio show in Tuscaloosa, Ala. “I haven’t talked to anybody about that particular situation. They have a coach there.”

“Quite frankly,” Saban said, “I’m just too **** old to start over somewhere else.”
