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.

You aren't kidding.  When he left Miami it was so abrupt that my memory almost recalls it as denying it at the first of a press conference, and then announcing he was leaving at the end of it.   ;D

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)

I just don't see Saban going to Texas.  His, or his wife's, voiced discontent with Alabama being spoiled, unappreciative fans, in a fishbowl environment would be exactly what he'd get in Austin if he had the same success there.  That said, he'd have to build that success at Texas.  While I don't think it would take long, it would take more work than staying at Bama.

I think Sexton gets Saban a nice pay raise out of this, but I just don't see Saban up and moving to Austin.


except Sexton has already said Texas would be a school saban would leave for.

Please leave Tuscaloosa, Nick.  Puuleeeeeeaaase.

It's not impossible that Bama would bring in a coach that might do even more with the recruits that Bama has been landing.  I know...seems impossible, but it's not. 

I want him to stay, and for us to beat them before he retires.  But to be honest...if I were him, and the UT job was open and I knew I was heading down there to be catered to with white glove treatment, I could set my own ground rules, and chase something that has never been done while making enough money to ensure my grandchildren's grandchildren would be set for life...it might be pretty tempting.

I've found that to be more of an oxymoron than anything else.  The only example I can recall being accurate was when some guy registered, and predicted the fall from grace of CBP just hours before it happened.  So from now on, when I see someone on the board with less than 5 posts predict something, I'm going to be more inclined to lend credence than I would someone who professes to have had sources for years.

Possibly. TX has around 21 commits right now, and usually new HCs will honor most schollies already offered at the new school.

This is true.

On the other hand, if Saban moves on, will the TX recruits want to keep their commitment.  It's a two-way street until the ink is dry...

Right...but as I suggested earlier, money won't be why he leaves.  BUT..you can bet that he isn't going for less than what he's making now either...Sexton will see to that.  He'll leave because he wants to take a crack at living in infamy...if he leaves, which I will be surprised if he does. 

I still say that there are a lot of big egos, and all it takes is a few of them getting cross ways, and unexpected things can happen quickly.  Years ago when Jack Welch was leading GE, he had all but earmarked someone other than Jeffrey Immelt to succeed him.  But word got back to him that he was already talking to key officials about sweeping changes that he was going to make to their existing structure when moved up to CEO, and Welch took that as a lack of respect.  Enter Immelt in somewhat of a shocker...  Strange things happen at that level of ego and pride.

This is true. The guy giving me info on Bama/Saban though is not Espn affiliated, just a friend/BamaAlum/former coworker/friend of Paul Finebaum.  He thinks Bama keeps Saban. Some Texas folks think they will get Saban. I think Saban stays at Bama myself. Having said that and as others have mentioned Austin does have some perks, especially away from the field. Less taxes, better city, more chance to "blend in with a crowd" so to speak. I think he stays where he is but understand why the rumor mill is heating up again. We'll see.

If this happens (Saban leaving), does Smart go with him or take over?

This is very good question.  But, I would say, the person following Saban may have a very tough time getting that program to anything close to what Saban had it.

You know what they say about following a legend...?  Not too many people have done it successfully.  Smart (with no HC experience) would be dumb to try it.

Let's be serious though.  Saban doesn't give a rip about the "night life" in Austin, or better shopping for Terry.  At that age, the warmer weather might be enticing, but other than that...I doubt it's playing a whole lot into the decision, other than women always like to decorate new homes.   ;D

I would have serious questions about Smart.  When you're the trigger man, it's different.  He could end up being another Muschamp, and do less with more...easily.  Just watching him on the sidelines...he doesn't exactly ooze composure and confidence.

I would agree that money won't be the deciding factor. Ego/pride to win a natty at a 3rd school and Austin offering a setting where he and his wife might get more privacy come to mind more so than money.

Why announce on Dec. 13th?  If that's true, and it is Saban, then that's pretty bold on both of their parts.  They would fling eggs at Saban's house with impunity, and he'd have more death threats than you can shake a stick at.  Someone would paint "Die" in cheesy white spray paint on his statue, and the fans that have loved him for years would boo him at the bowl game.  People think we're bat poop crazy, but Bama fans...you gotta be kidding me.  They're bonkers from the word go. 

Whoa...  I find this just a little dramatic.  The man has won three NCs for Bama.  Don't you think the fans would have just a bit more respect than the picture you've just painted?

Quote from: MuskogeeHogFan on December 06, 2013, 10:10:41 am
Just my opinion, but the only reason that Saban leaves Alabama is for the chance (at his age and this stage of his career) to build and win another NC at a third school. No other Div I HC has ever done this and this move would not be about money, though he would be paid a boatload to make the move, it would be about his legacy in the history of college football. I think he would like to cement himself as potentially beng viewed as the greatest college football coach in history and if he can pull this off, who could argue that? That's why I think it is already a done deal and just hasn't been announced yet.

I think this is exactly right.  My guess is Saban has seen Bear Bryant's statue far too many times and wants to cement his legacy as the best to ever coach the college game. 

I also think it's going to happen because Sexton has gone quiet.

MacHog19

1.  I don't think Saban leaves Alabama.  While he may be upset about the Iron Bowl loss, I think his ego is such that he knows Bear Bryant is viewed as the greatest college coach of all time and he'd love to surpass Bryant's NC total.

2.  Nevertheless, for the sake of the argument, let's say Saban does accept the Texas job.  Do you really believe for one second (pun intended) that he'll honor the schollies currently offered?  For Pete's sake, look at what he did to Darius Philon when he basically gutted Philon's scholarship on National Signing Day and Philon opted to sign with the Razorbacks.  If he'd throw Philon, an Alabama native, under the bus like that, do you really think he gives a da*^ who the Longhorns have offered scholarships to thus far?

Maybe it's a little dramatic.  I emphasize "a little."  If in year two UT beat Bama in the NC game, that statue would be rubble before the game ended.

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

Weak argument.  Raises at the level he currently works for would not be a carrot.

The carrot is:

The 3rd school for a NC

Not being so exposed in a small town with every goober peering in you window at all hours of the day

Nicer local for the Mrs.

All that spells carrot to me, but $, no way.  If he wants more, all he needs to do is ask...

We have found over the years that some ESPN sources, or Finebaum for that matter, are not always that reliable. We found that out during our coaching search.

Longhorn fans are opera fans. That's why they are called teasippers. Come late and leave early. Saban just thinks the Alabama fans leave early. The teasippers leave after the third quarter when the game is not close, either way.

No, I don't.  You have to look no further than the Auburn tree killing incident to know the psyche of some Tide fans.  If Saban took the UT job, he would not, nor would Alabama let him coach their bowl game.  In time, some of the 'Bama faithful would get over it, but if I read that someone vandalized his statue after his announcement to leave Tuscaloosa, I would not have any trouble believing it.

rlreev01

Saban is involved in some losing real estate deals in Tuscaloosa.  Saban's wife is a Realtor and has some interest in Austin. I would not be surprised if Saban did one more good lick, financially, and gets to a place where he could retire to in the hill country.  I do not see it happening but it would not surprise me and I sure hope it does.

ive done both  the "hike your butt back up the hill" sledding , and ive done the sled down, walk 50 feet to the lift and ride back up.. no comparision...great one i like out near winter park . somehow they allow the maximum speed on an inner tube without being able to totally wipe out... ..going sledding on a tube at night with headlamps is the way to go .

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.



Great story.  Terry was at the store in Baton Rouge...

I'm in total agreement with you.  I tried to quote someone in that post and it didn't come out right.  I lived in Dallas too for that 25 years and he was spot on.  I never lived in Bama though.  Just a visit on a few occasions cemented my feelings on them.

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.



I'm trying to imagine someone not lying to the media. 

When a coach is about to move, there is no reason to give straight answers to "the media, " of all entities...

I think that Texas will go after Kevin Sumlin. Johnny Dooshball will be gone and Sumlin already has a deep connection in Houston and College Station areas for recruiting.

I definitely think legacy plays a big factor, but a nagging wife can get almost anything if she really wants it. hah!
Pearls of wisdom and truth right there.
I miss the smell of the mud, grass, and sweat of the practice field. I miss blood oozing down your arm from the rip in your skin that was slashed on a guys helmet as you punked him at the line of scrimmage and put his dobber in the dirt.

Would be hilarious if they pulled it off.

I would have serious questions about Smart.  When you're the trigger man, it's different.  He could end up being another Muschamp, and do less with more...easily.  Just watching him on the sidelines...he doesn't exactly ooze composure and confidence. 

Has anybody told you how brilliant you were, lately?

And Allburn would deserve it.  I don't believe any of it, though.

It just takes one fan with a chainsaw.  They've have to hire an armed guard to protect it 24/7 from the crazies. 

A chainsaw on a bronze statue?  No that's the type fan I'd want to get away from.
