Saban to Texas

  • roger huerta said...

    100% serious. saban is a winner all the way, but as far as personality, he's the exact opposite of what texas wants it's coaches to be. lester would be a close second in that regard.

    Haven't read the rest of the thread but I get the impression you think Texas is above board and those two coaches are "beneath" Texas.

  • Didn't he hint around that UT made an offer to him last year? I just think he's at a point in his career where he wants to stay in one place. Bama is a perfect fit for him. You win titles = we treat you like a God. He has everything he could possibly want at this point. I think his legacy is a high priority for him. Bama is a great place to build it.

    I could see it if they threw $10 mill at him.

    A lot of college coaching is smoke and mirrors. Coaches usually don't get as much out of their team after they've been there for about 5 years. They come in and energize the team and fanbase to get a few more wins. Wins then get the recruits that help get more wins. But then the cycle of miss-truths/stink catches up to them and production drops. The longer they stay, the tougher it gets. Examples being Meyer, Petrino, Carroll, etc.

    You forgot Richt.

    Do you know why he left the NFL in the first place? He hated it. His wife hated it. He had no control over what players he could get (he wanted Brees, not Culpepper). NFL players don't respond to him like high school and college players do.

    He fits in with the college game, i.e. recruiting, molding young players into men, complete control over the program. Those are the things he wants, not some dream of succeeding in the NFL cause he didn't before.

    He's been contacted by multiple NFL teams the past couple seasons. He's too old to start over. He's retiring at Bama.

    And you know everything, you can read the future SMH. Typical Bama fan

    And you know Saban has a craving to go back to the NFL SMH. Typical Gator fan.

    it's not about what i think, it's about what dodds and the big cigars think. it's less about saban being shady, than it is about saban being abrasive. although the shadiness wouldn't fly either.

    me personally? in a vacuum, i'd love to have saban, or miles, or stoops, or kiffin as the hc here. i've got no problem w/ anything any of them do.

    Yeah, if only Bama had history, fanbase, and media coverage. Or at least had they gone through a couple of decades of turmoil and mediocrity. Maybe if they had a lot of championships. But alas, I must bow out of the argument. ND breaks the tie with a more fertile recruiting demographic.

    you're on fire

  • 1. Notre Dame is a step down from about 20 jobs now. It's not 1980 and no one is stirring those echos anymore. Why you ask? Because everyone is on TV now, not just Notre Dame an they're in Indiana for Gods sake. Notre Dame isn't a team that can rebound like OU, USC, Alabama, etc ". They have literally nothing going for them anymore.

    2. Texas would crawl over broken glass to have a coach exactly like Nick Saban. He's exactly the kinda personality Texas and Longhorn fans would love. Why? Because he's not a gaping vagina like Mack Brown.

  • Ummm, no this isn't gonna happen. This rumor has been started by everyone of our rivals since the success of Sabans second season at Bama. Sorry guys I wud believe that Coach Saban will retire at Bama.

    Is this possible in the near future?? Lets say Mack underachieves again at Texas, which is totally possible. They can him. Nick Saban Wins another title at Bama. Texas looking for a new coach, throws a ridiculous amount of money at Saban. Great coaches like new challenges.... Would Nick Saban do it? Is Texas capable of stealing coach Saban??

    Probably will happen prior to 9/1/12! biggrin

    RTR!

    texas wouldn't touch saban w/ a 10' pole. not a fit in any way, shape or form.

    That's what they would say now, but have the scenario be real and likely, and you would have every Horn fan forget everything they ever said about him. They would all take a week off from work and call it a Longhorn celebration.

    Saban would then be the cleanest, most rule abiding coach in the country.
