Aidensdad was always a good well respected poster on the OB. He didn't post often, but when he did he was money.

guess that's why he was taking a helicopter visiting and reassuring recruits he will finish his career at Alabama only to tell them shortly after that he isn't? Makes perfect sense that he is leaving and that the higher ups at Alabama know so. Even radio stations are trolling our fanbase. I do like the writing method of several people who were 100% that are know setting themselves up with a backup so it can still look like they know what's going on in Austin.

Yeah. It's sad how desperate we are for change that many of us will believe anything while disregarding common sense, NCAA bylaws, and contractual obligations to the wind. Heard people say OU sources then some said AU. Right cause the rival programs at the two schools would know what's going on. There's not even a job opening and no real signs that there will be any. You guys are making us look so desperate it makes me sick.arent we the University of Texas for Christ's sake? Act like it.
Whether Saban ends up at Texas or not, you are going to look pretty foolish when the specifics of what has been going on behind the scenes comes to light (and it will). Adamant denial that anything has been happening is completely naive. Even though you do not see it, it is occurring; therefore, your logic is skewed. That is all I have to say, and I will leave it at that.

I don't think it's desperation when there has been many insiders reporting that there is interest by both parties. Does that mean Saban come? Who knows, but I do think Mack is gone. Mack was not even consulted on the hiring of the new AD, that says it all. If you want to attack people for not agreeing with you, go to Orangebloods. That site will be a good fit for you.

Everyone has their own mind and should believe what they want. I will say that I am not 100% convinced, but hey I am a skeptic. There is a ton of smoke in regards to Saban and I think it would be foolish to think that serious conversations have not taken place. As for the "job opening", if you have paid attention in the past, that usually actually occurs after the talks. Can't really open a job up while the seat is still occupied, but at the same time if you waited until after the job was open you would miss out on most top notch candidates. It is just how the process has worked.
Common sense says that there have been talks.
With that said, let's try and keep things civil.

I've posted Saban's contract a number of times and will do so again here. http://www.hornsports.com/docs/Nick_Saban_Contract.pdf
One of the provisions of the contract (no buyout, mind you) is that he notify UA before he discusses possible employment with any other school (or NFL team). One would think this would have already been triggered (if one assumes there are discussions going on between Saban and Texas). I find it amazing the fact that Saban has notified UA of his agent's discussions with Texas have been kept quiet. If it's happened, one would think that info would have leaked.
