Is Saban Still in Play?

[Baghorn]

so the role as "special advisor of the president" is so vague, aren't they concerned about mack talking to powers' ear for the next 18 months or so

I doubt Powers is around for 18 months. I'll be surprised if he's still around for kickoff of the 2014 season.

The extension has not been executed by the Alabama BOR

Even if it has been signed of by the bor, couldn't he still leave?

Saban saban I believe should be chased till he says yes.

Just keep playing by the same rules I do when I'm trying to get a chic to sex with me...50 no's and 1 yes is still a yes.

Jesus on IT still believes so and so do a few other notable posters like Casis, and Izzy.
I'm being told that the ship has mostly likely sailed but, we will give it another shot.

If Texas big shots really must have Saban, things can be arranged quite simply: Send a Texas cowboy dressed as a cowboy to Saban when he's alone, away from the sight and earshot of all, i.e. appear unexpectedly without any witnesses, and say: "Listen very carefully Mr. Saban as I have something important to say about your life, and I'll say it only once. This is a contract for the head coach of Texas football program. You will find it an extremely generous package. (hand him the contract) You have until tomorrow afternoon to sign it as is. If you sign it, you will see me once. If you don't sign it, you will see me twice. You don't want to see me twice if you want to coach football." (then disappear)

JS on IT just issued a response on a thread that he doesn't believe Saban would come after his remarks to the press.

I agree. I think it's done and over with.

Had there ever been a realistic chance of Saban leaving Alabama in the first place?

apparently you haven't read mcphaul's crossfire.

On so the ride continues. Hopefully, this roller coaster has more peaks and less valleys.

I originally believed he was coming, but the saga of Saban to Texas is over. I of course would love to eat crow if that statement ended up being false. I really really would!

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Let's see how this plays out. Stranger things have happened. This may all look like perfect sense when we look back at it one day.

I expected today would be quiet but I think that changes tomorrow in a big way.

 

[napaak]

Can anyone come out yet with what truly happened with terry and the house purchase? Do they own a house or not?

 

[austinite]

You're correct. But after reading it, I am still not persuaded that what's posted there may be considered proof that there had ever been a realistic chance of Saban leaving Alabama.

Theoretically, it could have been designed to help pressure Mack Brown to resign (which I would support as a good move for a good cause).

For me the most important thing was to get rid of Delossy Dudd and Mack Brown.

I'd certainly welcome Saban to UT, but I'm sure there are good alternatives. How hard can it be to find someone better than Mack Brown?! (the guy is an imposter by my standard)

 

[The Tres Leches]

Brett McMurphy of ESPN just posted that Lane Kiffin would be visiting Alabama to evaluate the Tide's offense as a guest of Nick Saban.

Saban doesn't do that if he's even remotely thinking of going to Texas.
