This is the thread I will be leaving on. It's been fun guys, but this is just rampant speculation, conflicts with what others have said, and is hilarious on the face of it. Let's say he's right. How many were clamoring for Patterson to shut out the BMDs when they wanted Mack to stay? This is...

There's nothing official yet. It will be a big story, there's no doubt about it.

We're a 10, but our candidates were already at 9.5's.

Chad Morris is going to end up as head coach of one of the vacancies this hire creates. He's not going to be the OC here.

It's pretty apparent that Strong is happening and Saban is not, but if by some miracle it did, this specific thing would be vastly overshadowed by the fact that we hired Saban and we could hand wave it away as false sources.

I want the guy who will do the best job. Yet to be seen which one of those guys it is.

Kicker U

I say it's Saban purely because we haven't announced any tier 2 candidates yet. If I was a betting man, though, I'd double down on Strong.

I'm sorry, that came off a bit blunt. However, this is pretty standard industry knowledge and why 6-10 coaches have/will receive large raises this year.

In other news, the agent also asserted the fluidity of water and the Catholicism of the Pope.

Look, he might be waiting to tell his players or something like Nakona said but the offer has been on the table for at least 1-2 weeks according to posters on this site. There's no way he's still ambivalent at the 11th hour.

I'm not saying your source is in anyway incorrect, just curious what reasons Saban would have to delay answering? There's no tactical benefit of waiting until tomorrow and he doesn't seem like the type to be afraid to pull the trigger, especially with almost a month to think about it.

If all this is playing out like its being posted, then Saban is apprehensive and we're throwing some last minute dollars at him to try to heat up his cold feet.

I really wouldn't mind Gundy, but he doesn't have Texas hair.

Baylor just lost to UCF....
