Title: Saban and Texas Talk Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 19, 2013, 03:31:18 PM Here we go again. I heard this on Finebaum.
Quote A few days after Alabama won the 2013 national championship, a University of Texas regent and a former regent talked with Nick Saban's agent about the possibility of the Crimson Tide coach replacing Longhorns coach Mack Brown, The Associated Press has learned. http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/apnewsbreak-texas-regent-talked-sabans-agent-20309909 Title: Texas Regent talked to Coach Saban... Post by: N.AL-Tider on September 19, 2013, 03:31:42 PM After Bama won the BCS championship... (http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2013/09/texas_regent_talked_to_nick_sa.html)

Title: Re: Saban and Texas Talk Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 19, 2013, 03:33:15 PM I really do not see Saban leaving at the age of 62.
??? Title: Re: Saban and Texas Talk Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 19, 2013, 03:35:35 PM Lol. You beat me posting this by justs seconds... :lol2: LOL!! I actually heard it on Finebaum as it was breaking about 30 minutes ago, but I was in my truck. :-* Title: Re: Saban and Texas Talk Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 19, 2013, 03:38:17 PM If you think Tide fans are crazy, Texas fans would overwhelm Saban. Plus, I don't see him on the Longhorn network, having to deal with every Texas fat cat & politician, etc. It would drive him crazy.

No worries. :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: This really reflects a certain desperation by Texas alumni, fat cats, and fans to talk about offering $10 mil a year & a $20 mil "signing" bonus. Saban is 62 (would be 63 during the next season) so he would be a stop gap measure at best. Texas needs to look for someone who is going to be around 10 or more years. :deadhorse: Title: Re: Saban and Texas Talk Post by: cbbama99 on September 19, 2013, 05:59:38 PM Honestly, I really don't know WHY Texas would go after CNS at this point. Had this happened seven years ago (when CNS was still in his 50s) I think he probably would have taken it. Now, I can't imagine UT going after a coach in his 60s, knowing they would probably have to go after another one in about 5-7 years. My guess is that UT would be more interested in finding someone who would have some longevity AND has had success.

My guess is that UT would be more interested in finding someone who would have some longevity AND has had success. Very simple, they want to win NOW and are desperate to win big. They aren't even thinking about 6 years down the road. They are so arrogant they think they can just buy another coach after Saban retires. Of course, that has not worked real well the last 15-25 years. :dog: Title: Re: Saban and Texas Talk Post by: N.AL-Tider on September 19, 2013, 08:47:38 PM This rumor could actually have some legs folks. Remember what he said when he was in Miami and was asked about taking the coaching job at Bama?
Quote "Nothing went on that I know of. I don't know about any of this stuff," Saban said. "I haven't talked to anybody about that particular situation. They have a coach there." Quote "Every year it's something. Last year it was the Cleveland Browns," Saban said. "The year before that it was somebody else, the NFL. Terry and I are very happy here in Tuscaloosa. We're really love the University of Alabama. We really feel like a part of the community here and we have a lot of good friends here." But on the other hand, he did have this to say... Quote "And, quite frankly," Saban said, "I'm just too da#@ old to start over somewhere else."

I'm not so sure that he lied about anything. He was planning to stay in Miami, then he got home and Mal was in his living room talking to Mrs. Terry. I think he called home to tell her that he was going to cancel the meeting with Mal because he felt loyal to the Dolphins owner. She said "too late, he is already here." The rest is history.

Title: Re: Saban and Texas Talk Post by: XBAMA on September 20, 2013, 12:35:58 PM what's up with Dan Patrick ?
he has been on his crappy little radio show for the last two hours basically loading the moving van with CNS's stuff to head to Texas ... he went as far as to say CNS never mentioned about being to old to start over somewhere else and whatnot but as we know CNS did say that last night did we pizz off DP some how ? he was reminding me of that Sports by Brooks guy and we all know how bad he sucked ... Title: Re: Saban and Texas Talk Post by: SUPERCOACH on September 20, 2013, 12:36:51 PM Quote Moore's charm had a similar effect on Saban's wife, Terry, who first became acquainted with Moore when he was trying to hire Saban away from the Miami Dolphins. Though he had previously indicated to Moore's nephew that he had the itch to return to college football, Saban said he ultimately decided against talking with Moore after he went through meetings following his second season with the Dolphins. "I'm driving home and I call Terry and say, 'You know Terry, I really feel guilty about this. I think I should stay here in Miami. I don't think we should talk to coach Moore,'" Saban said. "Terry says, 'Well, I already talked to him. He's been over here this afternoon. He's a fine man and he's coming over for dinner tonight.'" From an article that came out when CMM died: http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2013/04/mal_moore_celebration_of_life.html Quite a bit different than what the bitter Miami press and fans would have you believe.

Wow. That does bring a whole new perspective to it. Thanks for that. That makes it even more special that he chose Bama. I hope his relationship with Battle is strong. You could tell that CNS had a loyalty to Mal and it appears to the University as well. That is the only chink I could see in the Bama's armor when it comes to luring Saban away. Title: Re: "Would Nick Saban leave Alabama for Texas? No chance" Post by: SUPERCOACH on September 20, 2013, 12:43:35 PM Quote There are a lot of ways to interpret the above comment. You can say Saban is telling Alabama fans what they want to hear. You can say he selected his words carefully so he can leave without being called a liar. After all, this is a man who famously said, "I'm not going to be the Alabama coach," and if you have checked his bio lately, you will notice that he is, in fact, the Alabama coach.

After the season, Mrs. Terry met with Mal and notified him otherwise. :lol: It really ticks me off that his reputation has been tarnished over this. Title: Re: Saban and Texas Talk Post by: XBAMA on September 20, 2013, 12:46:14 PM He has to say something stupid to get people to listen. well , today he was overwhelming success then , almost the whole show was stupid CNS is going to Texas stuff . he even had a poll about it , which BTW he lost 2 to 1 on "NO" votes :lol: Title: Re: Saban and Texas Talk Post by: BamaFanInACCLand on September 20, 2013, 03:34:16 PM SVP & Russillo were going on and on about it too. Talking about how much better the job was at Texas and that Saban would have a chance to win a championship at 3 schools. I really don't get it. You would think that the mother ship would try to stuff that down...the SEC and ESPNs tv deal with the SEC is not nearly as attractive without Nick Saban...unless Bamako can pull off another miracle with a replacement.

Currently I'm thinking Dabo might be a decent replacement, now that he's gotten some head coaching experience and worked out some of the kinks.But I'm thinking 2020 or so, not anytime soon. |
