Former Bama Player

[orangeman01]

Former player notified me that Saban ia gone.
They are sick to their stomach and in disbelief.

Former player notifies you but no one else? Former Texas player from the 01-04 team that was in the top 3 in tackles informed me that Mack will be back.

Definitely call BS on anything you post. Your agenda has been very clear.

I want him to stick around. Differing opinions should not be thrown out. Not to mention the fact that I want to see his reaction when Saban is hired as the next coach.

Orange,

I'm sure they have!

So let me get this straight, discipline freak Saban confides in a former player that he is leaving who in turn contacts McPhaul to convey to the masses?

 

[doc longhorn]

Once again - the head coaching job at the University of Texas is NOT vacant. Saban, and his whole family, could hold a press conference on the steps of the Tower announcing he is coming to Texas, and it wouldn't matter as long as the position is filled.

Friends, all we should really speculate about is Mack's departure. When he FINALLY leaves, is when we can realistically speculate about the next HC.

I don't believe that's how McPhaul said it went down.

How can you prove my sources wrong? You believe everyone elses. You must follow mine as well. I just find it HIGHLY suspicious that a former player of Alabama would reach out to McPhaul, of all outlets, to release such information. It makes absolutely no sense that a former player would contact someone that runs a board of a team that is trying to hirer the coach at his alma mater. And like it was said before, that player would have to be very very close to Saban. Rolondo McClain? Who in their right mind would do that? NO ONE. If you have that kind of info and you are that close of a friend then you dont go around and telling stuff that your friend confided in you to people that run message boards. Ill be here forever so good luck trying to get rid of me. If he comes then I will man up. The only thing ive been critical of are the people that say its 100% done deal when there isnt even a coaching job open and that boosters are calling the shots at our school which happens to be a public university. so that kind of ticks me off being a taxpayer and fan of UT athletics.

you, me, everyone knows that is not how these things actually work. things are happening behind the scenes. that is how it actually works. this happens in every profession, every day.

Do you like the direction of the program under Mack?

Before your attempt to ridicule McPhaul, did you consider who the "former player" could possibly be. McPhaul may have been a bit too cryptic, but do you think the "former player" might be a member of Alabama's BOR? And, as such, is damned sure privy to Saban's response to an extension proposal?

Did you consider that as a possibility, I wonder?

umm. maybe at auburn thats how they do things with the petrino-gate. but not in Austin. how does that make your program look when the HC has to worry about boosters going behind his back and trying to hirer a new HC before a decision is even made on the current one?

 

[Topstarr]

My wife said that Nick is coming to Texas and I have never been able to prove her wrong!!!!!

HOOK'EM

it is not exactly apples to apples, but wasnt patterson hired before dd's last day? so, yes Texas does do it that way. carry on.

i too have had enough of this spare; and, yes, I realize that McPhaul's info could be wrong.
