How sure are you on that? Would be cool if true. One less event to dictate the situation.
If true, then Mack resigns Saturday and Saban comes aboard Monday.

I remain calm. Until I see otherwise I believe this is nothing more than more than an veiled attempt at a misdirection play.
I think this is a last ditch effort for all parties involved to get media control of the situation. If they say a meeting will not occur for a couple days, maybe it allows the smoke to die down a little so when the announcement comes they can portray it as if nobody saw it coming. I have a hard time believing that it wont happen soon. Too much has been set into motion. On a second note, I'm not sure time hurts the Saban possibility. He's entertaining the Texas idea/offer otherwise he would have signed already. At this point, he can wait a few more days if he has too. He will be busy with the Heisman over the weekend so that will keep him away from Bama and that contract extension anyway.. Hook'em

So are these threads a bunch of handwringing over nothing? I've been out of pocket an haven't seen anything even on orangebloods regarding this info. In fact, I just read that the meeting is tomorrow morning.

Give the forces that were vocal about MB's removal some credit. I have no problem with fans expressing their emotional opinions but the big boys must exhibit more decorum. As many have suggested, there may be something to allowing cover through the Heisman ceremony. Also, if NS's only reason for coming is $, I would rather let him walk if the kitchen gets too hot. If NS comes, I understand the $ is a big deal but I also want him to come here because he knows he can awaken the sleeping dragon. Texas has the best facilities, the most resources and is situated at the center of ground zero of high school talent.
I wasn't going to post this but since this thread came up here it goes. This is from Lotus Horn again.
First, this comes from four sources. One worked with Nick Saban for many, many years. The other is someone with big ties here at UT and is thinking no matter who is the next HC they hope to work with them. The others are reading Bobby and Jeff on here. So this is just me taking it all and making an educated guess. I'm able to learn:
1. No negotiations are going on right now by Sexton with anyone on UT's side.
2. No negotiations are going on right now by Trace Armstrong with anyone on UT's side (that will now cover the CAA agents able to negotiate for CAA coaching clients).
3. Certain coaches wouldn't want to negotiate at this moment due to recruiting.
4. Mack Brown wants to enjoy the banquet.
5. The reason NFL journalists are reporting on Texas' interests is that people just outside the program (BMDs) have been calling and asking opinions about Harbaugh. Nothing has more leaks in it than an NFL program.
6. Urban Meyer while perhaps the greatest coach winning percentage wise in the modern era (84%) has hurdles to clear due to some big money having issues with him ditching Florida.
7. Texas wants Saban first, and foremost.
So I guess:
If these guys are right, expect Mack to resign on the 16th or after. Then CAA will begin negotiations with Patterson, Hicks, and McCombs on behalf of their client(s). Interviews will be set up and TWO CAA possibly THREE prospects within 24 hours, with an agreement within 72 hours of Mack resigning. New Coach announced on Friday. I have no idea who the CAA clients are, but if I were to guess: Saban, Harbaugh, Meyer, and in that order.
Having heard this, it makes sense because of the recruiting dead period. If Saban isn't 100% sure on leaving (and sorry guys, but no way he is 100% sure, I'm told by the friend of Saban that it's about 60/40 that Saban leaves) he doesn't want this to interrupt his recruiting. So these delays aren't really delays at all. He would prefer to talk once the dead period is in place. The other coaches fall in the same category if they're college coaches, they have a job now, don't let a possibility interfere with the job you have.
Also Red McComb has never met Saban. So if they meet and don't get along.... Saying it's a done deal is way, way, way premature. While some big guys at Texas have issues with Meyer abandoning Florida, they aren't rude enough to decline interviewing him if Meyer wants an interview.
