I really hope this is all true. Going to be an interesting weekend.

It's not going to happen. Sexton is using Texas to milk Bama for more money.

He's already gotten more money from Bama, he's got an extension sitting on his desk th at he hasn't signed. Bama fans and Longhorn skeptics have repeated ad nauseum that Bama's got the ability to match anything that we offer; well,Saban/Sexton should have a pretty good idea about what we're offering by now and if this were all about money they'd take that to Bama, tell them to back the truck up and sweeten the extension and this would all be over. Saban's about as mediaphobic as they come and he hates being in the spotlight about anything other than football, do you honestly think that he'd let things drag out this long if he wasn't seriously considering his options? He's had the chance to end the speculation and to get more milk money for almost a week now and hasn't done it, if you seriously think this is all about money then you haven't been paying attention.

Red McCombs asked if Texas can get Saban if Mack leaves: "There's no question. All the money that's not under the Vatican is at UT."

BREAKING:Toot my horn a bit.If you followed my Mack Brown TL u know I was giving details bfore media sniffed this story. Now there's major change again that you wont see anywhere else. Take it to the bank. With that here we go. Mack Brown was told in NYC a change had t be made due record, direction,loss of season ticket renewals and loss of Donor support. Mack Brown was given two options. The first that UT could buy out contract and release him, or he could resign and receive the buyout, salary thru 2020 and a title like DKR, Mack Brown chose the resignation route but asked to first complete recruiting trip, tell team and staff and do this in Austin.Mack Brown was given this privilege and was assured it would remain confidential. Mack Brown then traveled to FL fo recruiting and Patterson returned to austin. While in FL Mack Brown received word the story was out and was livid. Patterson assured him they would give him cover and call it

Mack Browns decision to make.Patterson did not want to be seen as Jerry Jones firing Tom Landry. Pres Powers joined in and everyone said decision was Mack Browns to make. Enter National Media and 24/7 coverage. Forced to continue the cover story and with his agent calling media reports false, over time the one thing happened that UT did not want. It lost control of the situation. Mack Brown came to realize that the cover story had now become FACT. He does control his own destiny and can make his own decision. Mack Brown wanted to discuss further. Patterson does not. Mack Brown was told the school did not want to miss any chance it might have with Saban and wants Mack Brown out per their agreement. Patterson sources say is STUCK. He does NOT want to FIRE the coach but if forced to retain him into 2014 he would FIRE Mack Brown at the first sign the team was not a National Championship Contender and only provide the contract buyout and NO more. Buyout is different as of Jan 1 2014 by the way. Bottom line due to unintentional GAFF, Mack Brown now DOES have the final decision. UNLESS, Powers is terminated by the Board of Regents today. If that happens, Mack Brown will be fired tomorrow if he doesn't resign as the Board wants him OUT. Clear as mud? Brown will be meeting with Patterson and I will have details on Mack Browns decision as I know more. I can tell you personal friends of Mack Brown are encouraging him to step down and he is still expected to do so at the football banquet tomorrow night. He simply wants to make one more attempt to sell them that Mack Brown can bring UT back to elite

So this guy has been doing a good job with his tweets.

Here is his latest cumulative. Most of this is consistent to what we have been reading here, but he does put it all in his own order and adds a twist or two --

Patterson does not.

Clear as mud?

Brown will be meeting with Patterson and I will have details on Mack Browns decision as I know more.

I can tell you personal friends of Mack Brown are encouraging him to step down and he is still expected to do so at the football banquet tomorrow night. He simply wants to make one more attempt to sell them that Mack Brown can bring UT back to elite status. Even Mack Brown does not believe that will be possible in 2014.

I will provide additional details as I learn them.

Oops, sorry for the repeat

This has been a hilarious thread to read. Saban will be the Alabama coach in 2014 and Mack Brown will not resign this week or through the weekend. Don't even tell me that I might eat crow because all of these "sources" and whatnot are clueless.

Texas Fight. Quit hurting our team with these rumors.

Hey, Chris Jesse. I wasn't sure that you were still around.

Can this thread be left to updates on Saban and not personal attacks?

I saw this thread was back to the top and I thought something had happened today while I was away from computer.

 

[HookemDTX]

surprising that someone would make such an ass of himself. He can write decent articles.
