Texas Will 'break the bank' To Get Nick Saban?

Reports Are Texas Will 'break the bank' To Get Nick Saban

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

Before Texas hired Charlie Strong, they made a run at trying to land Alabama head coach Nick Saban. Obviously, that didn't happen. But now with Strong on the way out and rumors of him being linked to the Miami job, CBS Sports' Brian Jones says Texas will go at Saban again...

quote:
“There will be another run at Mr. Saban,” Jones said. “They will break the bank. Whatever it takes.”

You think Saban even entertains this thought?

Saban to Texas, Finebaum to the Longhorn Network. Everybody wins.

I am not a Saban fan since he went to Bama but I do respect what he did for LSU and Bama as a coach.

Moving on, I don't think Saban is motivated by the actual money amount he gets paid. I am sure he doesn't have to worry about paying any bills. I do think he loves to be the top of the list of anything he does and being the highest paid coach gives him a hard on. I think he is also motivated by turning a football program around like he did at LSU and Bama.

That said and I am ashamed to admit that I hope Texas does win him over. That way, we won't have to face him every year and only face him if we make the play-offs or any scheduled OOC game. I will add I love Les Miles as a recruiter but as an X's and O's coach, he is deficient and the assistant coaches he hired are inept.

Prediction: Dana Holgerson is outed at West Virginia. Nick Saban feels an entitlement to his home state and wants to bring enthusiasm and energy to the Mountaineers. Nick Saban leaves Alabama and heads back up to Morgantown...

"Country roads...take me home...to the place...where I belong...WEST VIRGINIA!"

"Not according to him"

According to him he wasn't going to be the al-Abama coach.

Lane Kiffin will soon be announced as Alabama's next head coach.

demtigers73•124 months

When they offer him 12 million a year, he gone!

TigerFanatic99•124 months

I didn't know that "Strong was on his way out". You make it sound like he's announced his departure.

I also see that the writer just happens to be a former Texas player. Not totally sure but if you asked a former Bama player he would tell you Saban is staying. Ya know..just sayin.

Martini•124 months

I think he might be tired of the Alabama expectations and can start again from scratch. I think that is a part he likes.

theBru•124 months

Not according to him...I imagine Miss Terry will make that decision, same as when he left LSU...
