quote:

After the Alamo Bowl press conference Red McCombs held court after Mack was ushered away by bowl reps. The topic quickly turned to Nick Saban.

"I've never met Mr. Saban, but I admire him very much," McCombs said. "It's not so much that he wins, but it's what he does with his players."

McCombs expounded.

"He takes good players and makes them great," he said. "When you can take a good employee and make them great that means you're winning."

On if Texas can get Nick Saban:

"I don't think there's any question we can get him," McCombs said. "All the money that's not under the Vatican is at UT. Budgets were an issue when Mack came here. They aren't anymore."

"If money is a problem then that means I'm a part of the problem."

Sounds like the guy has a pretty big ego. Can't wait to see the clash of egos in Texas.

Interesting.

I'm surprised he didn't call Texas poor and say they had no shot at Saban.

it's interesting how much they talk about money. And McCombs is the one that supposedly threw a little shite fit about the fact that A&M outfundraised UTx by over $300m this year.

It's clearly a dick measuring contest to him and a few others right now where they need to show they are the Joneses. Fun times and glad it's not my coach they are trying to bid up. We're gonna get a massive meltdown by someone in the end and let's face it, that's all most of us are here for

I hope they hire Saban and then I hope Saban fails miserably at UT.
