SMH......^^^ Clueless

If this is a financial/stability decision, then yes Texas offers nothing Alabama can't match.

From an ego/legacy perspective, having a shot at being the guy that gets credit for turning around Alabama AND Texas is worth much more than any amount of money can buy.

It will all depend on what is more important to him and if he feels like taking on another challenge at 61. And not a single person outside of the Saban household really knows what is going on in his head.

This makes the most sense of anything I've seen on this thread. This isn't a question of financial ability. I believe that Texas is the top revenue school by far in the country so they have the funds. But do they have the will to get into a bidding war? I think the question of will comes to Alabama, where they're willing to do any and everything necessary to keep a good thing going.

Jerry Jones will hire him.

I don't think it's about money with Saban. Obviously it would take some scratch but if he moved or had any desire to move it would be because something else is motivating him.

I still think the most likely scenario is him remaining with the Tide but I wouldn't be a shocked with a guy that has his type of personality moving to a Texas (only place in college I'd see him entertaining) or the NFL. For arguments sake if he moved to Texas and won a national championship there can anyone else name a coach in the history of college football who has won a national championship at 3 schools?

If and granted it's a big if Saban said he'd come to Texas for 10M than Deloss should do that. Saban would give Texas more conference championships in 5 years than Mack Brown has in 15.

If it comes down to money, and it almost always does in the end, Texas could outbid UAT easily. And big 'ol Texas could almost hold all of he little man's ego.

I hope this is a troll, because a meddling bozo like Jerry Jones is the last person I could see Saban working for. Saban doesnt even let his players and assistant coaches talk to the media for the most part. I could just picture his reaction when the media comes to him for a reaction over Jerry Jones stupid statements. His head would probably explode

If you don't think BAma has the boosters to match what Texas can throw at him you must live in a fantasy world.

The only reason he would do it is a fresh challenge and to build his legacy by winning a title at 3 schools. Texas offers some built-in recruiting advantages but obviously he's having no issues at Bama in that regard.

You're missing the point. The highest paid coaches in college football are in the $5-7M range right now. Are they going to more than double that to $15? Alabama could match that. Yes, Texas has more money, but the point is that they aren't going to double what the highest paid coach in the country makes. The bidding war would have a limit, and Alabama could match anything up to and a decent amount beyond whatever that limit would be.

Holy crap we agree on something
