No one knows for sure who the coach will be, but the word is that Dec. 13th is the date. If that's true and it is Saban, I assume he will not coach Bama in the bowl game.

...and I assume you're saying that because he wants to live long enough to coach a game at Texas if he's hired right?   ;)

Musburger:  "And in an unprecedented move, coach Saban will coach the game from the press box where bullet proof plexi-glass has been installed.  The death threats were simply too plentiful to ignore this time, and security felt it was in everyone's best interest." 
I've never wanted a Hog coach to be successful more than I do for Pittman.  He's one of the good guys.

Word I'm hearing is Saban is getting another raise to stay at Bama.

But they're juuuust dumb enough to say, "You lost to Auburn this year under a first year head coach, and you want a raise?" 

Wild horses couldn't keep him from leaving at that point. 

I'd have to believe there's someone there at Bama who realizes what they have, but I never underestimate their ability to show their ignorance.

A loss to Auburn under a first year coach goes as lot further toward decreasing his leverage than you would ever imagine.  We're dealing with a level of crazy that flies in the face of common sense, so it's hard to comprehend by most sane people.  That game is everything to them...

I didn't know this one. I actually thought her being happy was one of the reasons Saban said he wouldn't consider a move. Women do change on a whim though.

YouR right and I'm not sure where all this 'wifey hates T-town" is coming from.  The only thing she's ever said that might be construed negatively is fans are getting too used to winning NC's basically. It was not that she and Nick were underappreciated.  Basically, everything she has ever said publicly was she was happy in T-town and they weren't leaving.  No way Saban leaves for Texas IMO.

There is no doubt that Bama will throw checkbook at Saban. This never was an issue of money. TX has the largest coffers of any university outside of Harvard, they could pay him 20M a year and feel nothing.

I'm txting my source to see if he'll get on here and give us more infoZ.

Just like Chizik and Malzahn should thank Cam Newton every day, Brown should thank Vince Young.  It's crazy how CFB an hinge on one outstanding player at the QB position, and how many coaches that fact has impacted over the years...for better or worse.

I've been to Austin and Tuscaloosa and while I find Tuscaloosa a much better experience than Austin I try to keep in mind the old adage 'to each their own'.  There is a pretentious air in Austin (and Texas for that matter) that exists to a much smaller degree in Tuscaloosa (and Alabama) - again IMO.

Could this have anything to do with the Saban,s interest in Texas

Most of the wife stuff comes from an interview she did with Wall Street Journal. In the article she says he's not leaving and also says the rumors of her looking at houses in Austin are false. They were later proved to be true and she had to recant..lol

Oklahawg, this article might show that Ms Saban has more pull than you might think, but you're right, she also doesn't seem like a woman who would make an emotion-based decision either.

From WSJ Article, sound familiar?

In late 1999, after a 9-2 season, Saban felt the school owed him a bonus and was disappointed when it didn't come immediately. After reports surfaced that Saban was talking with LSU, a team of Michigan State administrators led by Joel Ferguson, a trustee, went to Saban's house one Saturday night. Saban denied being in talks with LSU—he said the school had simply reached out to him. But something struck the administrators as odd: Terry wasn't home.

"Joel said, 'Nick where's Terry?'" said Underwood, who was in the group. "He said she was at the store. But then he asked again: "Nick, is Terry in Baton Rouge?' And he said, 'Yes, she's there now.'" The next morning, Saban left for LSU.

Mine is a good friend, former coworker, Bama alum/booster, and friend of Finebaums.  He told me Saban negotiated raises for his staff around 6 months ago and that Bama was finishing up a yearly raise package for him now.  If that's the case, I would expect Texas to come out with a typical, save face denial of talking with Saban and then do whatever they're gonna do. We'll see what happens though cause every situation like this has a little fluid-ness to it.

As I said, I think they have some people in admin that realize that an unlucky loss to AU is not the end of the world.  It still wouldn't surprise me to see them NOT cater to his every whim, which they should, and him decide it's time to move on. 

It's like a company who decides they need to get rid of all of their top experienced sales people, because they're selling too much and getting paid too much money.  Then they hire a bunch of rookies, and their sales numbers drop like a rock, and some shmuck is standing in front of the corporate brass blaming it on everything BUT that stupid decision.

Im with you, man. From the beginning I've thought that there is no way in hell, but I've changed my mind over time.

-Just lost to in-state rival. Fans are more obnoxious and ungrateful than ever.
-Wife openly hates Tuscaloosa
-Losing QB. Will struggle to compete for Natty next year with a first year starter who didn't look great in limited reps this year.
-Austin is a booming, cosmopolitan city. Tuscaloosa is the beating heart of redneckville.
-UT pays more

If it's ever going to happen, it's going to be this year.

Okay, I'll bite.

- lost to Auburn in 2010 in a much more embarrassing fashion.  There were coaching jobs available then...he stayed and won 2 NCs.
- show me anywhere Terry Saban has openly said she hates Tuscaloosa.  I can show you articles and interviews where she has said they love Tuscaloosa.  She made a comment that she is not sure Bama fans appreciate what Nick has done.  In the context she said it, she's probably right.
- lost the starting QB already twice.  Guess what happened the following two years...yep, right again, a NC the following year.  I love how you think Bama can't replace a QB!  Remember, Bama doesn't live only by the QB.
- I will give you Austin, but, Saban is a workaholic.  I don't think he really cares about the asthetics of the town.  Texas, BTW, is not a prettier or nicer campus than Bama.  The Alabama campus has Texas beat by a long shot!
- Bama can match whatever Texas would likely pay. I'm not saying Bama has as much money as Texas.  I'm saying Texas would have to get well above $10 million/year and i don't think they would.  I don't think Saban will leave Alabama for money, anyway.

I'm not a Bama fan that thinks Saban would never leave Alabama, but, there are a couple of a major reasons I don't think he would take the Texas job.  He has complete control at Alabama.  He does the minimum interviews, coach's shows, etc.  I don't think the good ole boys at Texas would give him complete control and Mack has been complaining for two years about the demands of the Longhorn Network.  Saban isn't going to do three or four shows a week.  Texas would have to give him COMPLETE control and I just don't think the power brokers at Texas would be willing to give it up.

the Texas coaching job is the best  one in the world for a college coach. Bammer included. Unlimited resources , all the recruits and money you want, and a school that will run over their grammaws to win.  Not to mention Austin is a massive upgrade over Tuskaloosa or however the hell u spell it. Plus, i could coach a team i hand picked from a retirement home and go 6-6 in the big 12.

Texas already had the president release a statement. What I find most interesting about this is that he refuses to discuss the status of Mack Brown. Basically, a statement that we haven't done anything yet not that they won't try.

Realistically, both these schools could run up the price to 20M easily if they wanted to. Money won't be a factor on choosing one school over the other.

Good post and thanks for the perspective. I would argue that the expectations and pressure were not as high in 2010 as they are now and he was 3 years younger. The safe bet is that he will stay, but there is enough smoke that it is wortrh a discussion.
I agree with your point on the money. Texas has more in the bank, but either school can open the checkbook without feeling much.

Here we go again with the "sources."   ::)

I'll be paying attention to what color tie Saban is wearing for the next few weeks in every public appearance. 

If Saban goes, it will be for a comfortable sum of money...no doubt, but I think that will have little to do with it.  It will be because he wants to secure his legacy by being the only coach to win the NC at three different schools, and if that's his goal...there will never be a better time to do it.

History shows that ANY time you have that many big egos trying to work through something, it can go south in a heartbeat.

Did you really click on the "report to moderator" button.  And not only that but do it on yourself?

Um, I was just giving an example. Texas could pay a coach 20M and not feel it. They have essentially unlimited resources. I have no idea about the contract negotiations.

It is an interesting discussion.  Basically, if he leaves Bama for Texas, his legacy there would be damaged.  The fans would eventually get over it, but it would take awhile...and even longer should UT ever play them in a game of any magnitude and beat them. 

If they came at him with a three year $20M guaranteed contract, how would he say not to that?  He could take a stab at doing something that may never be duplicated, and even if it doesn't work out, he would still be thought of as one of the greatest CFB coaches of all time.  The only thing he loses is...some respect from the Bama fan base.  That's why I think it could happen, despite so many people suggesting it's just a ploy for a big raise. 

He could retire tomorrow and probably get a job as an analyst making more than anyone ever has just for commenting on CFB.  There's a reason Gruden has stayed where he is...
I've never wanted a Hog coach to be successful more than I do for Pittman.  He's one of the good guys.

In this, the misses says that they will retire in Tuscaloosa.
She also said there was no foundation to the rumors that she was house hunting in Austin. Then someone pointed out that she was blatantly seen house hunting, and she had to come up with a different story.

The Sabans have shown no problem with lying to the media, the administration, fans and recruits when it's time to pack up and leave. I don't know if they will leave, but I'm certainly not taking their word as gospel.

Nope, no source here. Was just ribbing the guy calling for my source. This is info coming from TX pay boards. The dates and info are being thrown around by folks who have called things a week or so ahead of them happening through the whole process.

-DC being fired
-AD stepping down
-Steve Patterson being hired

Take it FWIW. I'm not claiming to be an insider lol..

So you're saying that the actual message boards for UT might be more accurate than what color tie someone is wearing? 

I would venture a guess that your "source" is probably more reliable than some of the "insiders" that we have on Hogville, but it's just a hunch.   8)
