More and more smoke regarding Saban

[LongviewLobo01]

It seems like a majority of insiders on here and OB are in agreement in regards to Saban coming. I'm starting to get my hopes up...

 

[bbdude]

Damn, it sure seems like it is picking up steam.

Does anyone have any idea whom thegrammernazi on OB is? Any thought to his legitimacy? I get hopeful because the other insiders info doesn't really contradict his - but he seems to be the one with the most concrete of predictions/info etc and he's only been a member for 3 months so I'm curious.

He said: "The only way it's not Saban is if we get a bigger name that hasn't ruled himself out yet. NFL."

Is TGN implying that we are sniffing an NFL coach (present or future) ahead of Saban? Sorry, it was tough to follow that last paragraph.

If so, who do y'all think it would be, ahead of Saban? Is it Harbaugh? Carroll? Those are the only two I would list above/with Saban and it's not by much.

saban or bust.

I'm not sold on him

I think the NFL coach is Carroll. His name has been mentioned quite frequently as someone wanting to get back into the game already and there was smoke about him last year. I don't see how he steps away from that job in Seattle, but you never know. And I don't know if I'd put Carroll ahead of Saban although I wouldn't be upset with either.

Maybe Tomlin is the guy and if that were the truth I take him over Saban and call it a day.

Not saying it won't happen, but I'd advise tapping the brakes.

 

[o5prey]

I agree on tapping the breaks in that I don't believe that we're 100% close to getting Saban, but it would be nice if it were true - My getting excited about the possibility or not isn't going to have any affect on the outcome.

Saban IS the front runner. I keep saying that if the Saban deal falls thru, the is going to be on or two candidates that step into the picture.

Any NFL guys?

Assuming it's Harbaugh or Carroll, (beyond, "bc it's Texas") why would they leave what they have going in the NFL? I can understand Tomlin bc of aging team, etc. but I'm not seeing it with the other two...unless they miss the college game...that's my question.

I appreciate you McPhaul, you da man

The Saban smoke is getting thick. The last post I saw from him utx didn't believe the Saban hype, but that was a week or two ago, and EM has gone silent.

McPhaul, do you know these guys? Are they hearing the same things now?

I don't know much about the grammarnazi, but I have to believe that the only coach that could possibly be put ahead of Saban would be Harbaugh. Surely we wouldn't put Pete Carrol in front of Saban?

Yes, I know the EM. I don't the grammarnazzi. He came onto the scene when me and EM took a hiatus.

utx, is solid in my book. We don't always agree but, he is not to be ignored.

Carroll has some interest. I'm not sure about Harbaugh but, I am sure we put out feelers.

 

[Darrell McPhaul]

Lovie Smith has also made contact with us.

Lovie Smith has also made contact with us.

Wow, that would not be bad as well. All the aggies are getting pissed because of this talk of Saban to Texas. They actually believe what he says at his press conference.

 

[LongviewLobo01]

mcphaul any way you can list the coaches who have made contact?

 

[TheContractor]

The names are nice with NFL guys but they better hire college assistants(at least 1/2 position coaches) that know how the defend the spread. That's very different form NFL/from Sec until last year/Big10 for most part.

 

[Hoekem]

He always agrees before the end of the season (maybe not publicly)...I'm calling 12/18/2013
