Texas Offered Saban Over $100 Million Dollars

This is probably posted on Robby the Robot but it belongs here. Personally, this sounds way over-the-top but Finebaum has credibility with me.

According to that advance copy, Texas and its boosters were hellbent on bringing the best coach in college football to Austin. So much so, in fact, that they had put together a financial package worth in excess of nine figures in an attempt to lure Saban to the Longhorns. From the website:

“Texas was dead serious about trying to money-whip Saban,” Finebaum and Wojchiechowski write. “Depending on whom you talk to — Bama big hitters or Texas big hitters — the Longhorns were prepared to give Saban somewhere between a $12 and $15 million signing bonus and a salary package worth $100 million (plus performances).”

When all of the rumors about CNS going to Texas first started, I had heard that Texas had offered CNS something in this range.  However, this came from a friend who worked with a cousin of a recent former player.  I dismissed it as something akin to hearing it from my third cousin's ex-wife's hairdresser's brother's sister-in-law, but now I'm wondering if I should have taken what I was told more seriously.  Interestingly enough, the same person said that CNS was ready to go, but Mrs. Terry said no, so that was the end of it.
