Saban- Here We Go

[Sirhornsalot]

Folks, McPhaul is legit on this. At least he's hearing very much the same thing I am. I am very surprised at the sudden optimism.

I talked with my source and he said Saban is definitely not dead. We are still talking with Sexton through back channels. We have some major hurdles to overcome after all of this (think Mack's future role at Texas). We would have to specifically and very clearly create a legitimate firewall between Mack and the football program. However, the fact that Mack is finally gone has brought Saban back to the table. It will be an uphill battle.

Stepping from one roller coaster to another.

After seeing the anger from this weekend, it may be possible Powers and Mack don't say much about the search and Saban?

BMDs get what they want. If they want Saban it will happen. Billionaires don't get played and give up.

Agreed. Also fly to SF and make Harbaugh say no. Doesn't hurt to try. I don't see us hiring a coach until well into January.

He already has, twice.

Granted, we did not put any money on the table and there was no job opening when we approached him each time - and these were just preliminary discussions, but he said he wasn't interested.

That could change if you backed a truck up to his house filled with cash, or at least make it difficult to say no.

But again, efforts on Saban are apparently picking back up.

Mark,

Did IMG contact Harbaugh or the Powerbrokers?

GT,

I know!

i just want him so paul finebaum can shut the hell up

x1000!

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

Third times a charm!

But I think when Hoke under performs again next year, Harbaugh will seriously consider the Michigan job.

I heard it was IMG first time, BMDs the second time

 

[Pancho Negro]

Yeah, anything to wipe that smirk off of Finebaum's face is fine by me...

So for Saban to even be an option we'd have to wait a month?

Who says we'd have to wait a month?

No, not at all. We're already talking to a coach who will be coaching on Jan. 7. Whatever goes down, I would imagine it would be right after the bowls.

We would wait just as long on Briles, if we offered him.

Would that potential target be a coach that was born in the state of Texas?

Wow, I have no idea where Meyer was born. Or Briles. But we talked with both I understand.

McPhaul posted last night that Mack had dinner with Briles last night.

 

[DizzG]

aidensdad (who is legit) is saying today Saban is not dead as well

and Suchomel at Orangebloods is admitting he's heard Saban is not dead either

 

[beevomav]

Saban is dead..source or no source..let's move on..

I assumed when you said Jan 7, you meant National Championship game (Jan 6) and was hoping you were talking about GM.
