Saban and Fisher were never coming here, so basically people are upset that Mora wasn't seriously considered? What's so bad about that? I see Strong as a far superior option to Mora and apparently Contractor does too. So I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Saban was never going to quit Alabama for Texas, which is why it doesn't really matter if BMDs were making a real run at him or not. This is what the insiders missed in proclaiming/guaranteeing he would be the next coach. They assumed it would happen because BMDs wanted it to, failing to realize...

McPhaul, if the BMDs think we bunted with the bases loaded they need to stay far away from the program and you should probably find some more credible people to speak with. Strong might not be a grand slam but he's probably a bases clearing single at worst which should be exciting for anyone...

Thanks Eyes. But that is some random Michigan blog? McPhaul mentioned 4 Texas sources that said it would be one of those 4 coaches. Why are people so excited about news from a Michigan blog we know nothing about??

I thought McPhaul heard it was between saban, fisher, briles and strong. What am I missing? My head hurts

Amen, good post Yoda. Mack deserves our gratitude and will always be appreciated by almost all clear-thinking UT fans. It's unfortunate that some people want to blame him for how the last week went down, failing to realize that Saban/Sexton were always just playing UT for the monster raise and...

With all due respect to the OP there is almost no chance of this happening. The anti-Mack sentiment seems to be making people delusional. Deep breath everyone

I think what Steve was saying is don't blame Mack if Saban doesn't come. Mack has been and always will be relevant to the analysis around the future Texas coach, just as he was when you guaranteed Saban to Texas. If there was any chance at all that Mack could affect a Saban hiring you wouldn't...

Probably the worst possible sign imaginable for Texas fans.

McPhaul says it's 100% Saban and MBHornsFan says it'll be someone unexpected. How bout a wager between you two

Because proper tributes happen after retirement, not on the heels of a bad loss and during the middle of a critical period in the season. More importantly Mack doesn't want a distraction before a very important Tech game. He doesn't want one before the BU game either but realizes that timing is...

Powers is letting Mack decide if he wants to announce before or after Baylor and I have been told it will be before, as no one wants to take the chance of doing it in the wake of a bad loss to BU. All indications are it will be the Monday press conference right after Thanksgiving weekend.

Finebaum might be obnoxious but I have a crappy feeling his logic prevails here. The chances we get Saban seem slim from most unbiased perspectives.

They're talking about the raise he got last year.

Thanks for sharing McPhaul but I'm confused, how can it be 100% "unless things change"??? Isn't the whole point of 100% is that it's 100%? If things could change then it could never be higher than 99%. Am I missing something?
