I saw rumblings of a deal for Saban as well. The numbers I saw were about $7m/year, which Alabama could sure match. $10m/year is a ridiculous amount though; if that indeed happened, I would assume Alabama would let him walk and sign Kirby Smart for much less. Saban is a good coach, but that's insane.
Well, we all know Saban is a mercenary. He hires himself out to the highest bidder. If Texas has the cash and there is any truth to this at all he's gone. This will help loosen the SEC's stranglehold on the MNC.
Any university that offered that kind of money for a friggin' football coach should be set on fire. That's ridiculous.
10 million a year!?!?!?!? WOW
Who the hell watches the Longhorn channel?
I don't even think I can get Longhorn Network in NE Ohio... and if I can, I sure wouldn't watch it during OSU/TSUN week!
I don't live in Ohio
Not saying it won't happen but there is NO WAY it was on the scroll on the longhorn network
Was probably a tweet by a fan dumb enough to be a horns fan.
And then Texas joins the B1G and we get Urban vs Saban pt II
@Nkohl13 man you had to say that..... lol
O H I O is the Buckeye State
I would much rather see the NCAA give student athletes a $500 / month stipend than see a coach in an Amatuer sport receive anything near that. Believe me if the top end was 1M a year these coaches would still be coaching football.
You've got the same chance of trolling an Ohio State site twice with nonsense about imaginary coaching changes, than you do seeing Saban coaching at Texas. Hey, wait a minute......

Cajunbuckeye if your so smart let put a wager let say $10,000 that Texas won't ask Saban at the end of the season. Just let you know I will be betting alot more on the ohio state game.
My father always told me to never gamble with a man that can't spell, because you'll never get paid. So let not wager on it. Saban will remain the highest paid coach in college football and will remain the King of Alabama. Hey, you heard it here first.

Don't be surprise when Texas talks to Saban.
Saban's not leaving alabama, he rules the south, any recruit he wants, he gets. He's built a powerhouse, why leave and restart at texas?
Texas can talk all they want. Saban signed a contract extension in March '12 that runs through 2019 and is worth roughly $45 million plus incentives. Imagine the buyout on that baby!!

Saban is very worried about Texas am .
Mack Brown disagrees with the OP.
