Just an Update

[Shaunsters]

Last night Chip, Jason and myself had some different opinions on the Saban situation. I worded some stuff wrong and I apologized for it. I have no problem with Jason, hell I helped Orangebloods for a long time with basketball stuff. Jason and Dustina re really good people. Those 2 I have dealt with a lot in the past.

My point last night was their information that chip was speaking as gospel was 100% wrong. I have never ever said, Saban was a lock to Texas. But I got some info Xmas Eve night from a guy that would know. I feel like Chip info could be in fact a smokescreen to leave the pressure off Saban or he could really believe that info. I don't know.

The email basically said that around 5 pm Xmas Eve, Saban made a call to a couple people with power. We did not initiate that call. Saban himself did. I'm 100 percent sure on that. So where do we sit? I have zero knowledge on if it's done or if it won't happen. In that call Saban wanted promises on certain situations. Those were given to him.

I want Jimbo. I think he would kill it at Texas. But the guys that matter still want Nick. Period.

Nice

 

[DizzG]

Thanks man.

 

[BeauR]

Thanks for clarifying what seemed an unpleasant situation over there, Shaunsters. And even more, thanks for all that bring to Hornsports.

 

[birdman]

Awesome, Thanks!

I think you're being overly apologetic, bud. I appreciate your good manners, but I watched that thread develop in real time and you were always gracious, even when they were defensive, and even combative. So... yeah. Good on you, but you were fine.

Thanks for sharing the info.

 

[Chasenomad]

Any more details you can share about the conversation? Thanks!

Thanks for the info, Shaun

Thanks for sharing your info. So we know that as little as 3 days ago Saban himself was still interested in the job.

I think we will find out who was being fed good or bad info soon. Don't know Saban would initiate contact when he has an Agent. Anyone know if anything has been leaked on the Alabama side? Seems like there would be some talk on their side if Saban is still in play for us.

Saban himself calling a cigar on Christmas eve?

Anything's possible, I suppose.

IDK, but Christmas Eve morning I started hearing from friends that there was drama amongst the family over moving, so to read that Shaun heard about a phone call THAT NIGHT, my stomach started doing flip-flops. This is why my Bama friends are secretly starting to sweat it.

I'm not buying that Saban would personally contact a Texas BMD. That just doesn't compute. If the story was that Sexton contacted a BMD, that would make it more believable.

 

[Shaunsters]

It was Saban. Not sexton. The guy Saban contacted first is a friend.

I believe this is what Shaunsters said: "The email basically said that around 5 pm Xmas Eve, Saban made a call to a couple people with power". I'm guessing "people with power" could include BMDs but probably not exclusive to that group.
