Chip Brown is claiming.........

Well....... I guess we shall all see what happens. This is a great thread. IT and HS say that Saban is in play. OB says its done. OB is a reporter of news, as they cannot be wrong because of who they are and IT and HS are a little more provacative. Not saying one is right and one is wrong, as I have no idea, currently, but I like the work the HS and IT put together because they hear the goods and report what they hear weather it comes to frution or not. OB is so very conservative, and is possibly trying to kill the Saban talk in the case that when it is released they get first dibs. No matter what happens, I will continue to peruse all sites.
I can say with confidence that Saban was a done deal before Mack screwed it all up. I saw the texts from someone as close to the situation as could be. Hopefully things continue as they once were

Think about it this way - can OB afford to say Saban is coming - and then he doesn't? And if you're reluctant to go with a story like that before you feel it's time, are you going to feed your competitors by confirming that there may be something to it but you're just not ready to put it in print?

We're going to the Pac 12?

We're going to the title game and not OU?

For a long time, they denied Saban was even a consideration or that we were talking to them.

Something like this, if it didn't materialize, would probably be the end for them or something close to it.

They can be such knobs over there.

Jason Suchomel is one of the best human beings that I have ever known. He is honest and I trust anything he says completely. You may not like what he reports, but you can rest assured that he believes what he reports to be true.
I am proud to be able to call him my friend.

Jeez, anything?

Im not so sure that our committee gives on hoot what is or isnt being said on message boards. I'd like to think we influence them but in the end they are professionals and we arent. I have faith that they will get the job done.

When I say that I really mean all the people driving the Saban hire....who are also the same people driving the committee...and the same people driving Patterson.

I can't wait to unwrap the present. The suspense is killing me.

You've already got a pair of excellent X'mas presents - (1) DeLossy Dudd is out, and (2) Mack Brown is out.

Granted, they are many years late but it's better than later.
