"The way this sort of got spun, it was a little bit more like, 'OK, he got a new contract at Alabama, so he's going to stay at Alabama instead of going to Texas,'" Saban told ESPN.com on Saturday. "I never considered going to Texas. That wasn't even a conversation.
"I don't want to go someplace else," Saban said. "I don't know how many times I can say that.
"Maybe this will be what the Cleveland Browns, Tampa Bay thing was to the NFL the last couple of years. That kind of ended the pro speculation. Maybe this will end the college speculation. This is where I'm going to finish my coaching career."

yeah, Alabama gave him a 2m raise for shits and giggles

We gave him a 2m raise because he's the best coach in the country, we want him to know he's appreciated, and we don't ever want to give him a reason to consider.
That in no way proves he actually considered it. Nice try.

I'm not trying anything. I'm agreeing. Alabama gave him a 2m raise for shits and giggles.

First, you quoted it wrong.
Second, he has said multiple times since then that he regrets how he handled that.
And lastly, he has said several times he is staying at Bama. Then he stayed at Bama. You know, like he said he would.

While I believe he might not have considered it, if he did, he'd be saying the exact same thing.

It makes me happy that you're mad.

He said he was sorry and regrets it many times.
He has followed through every time since.
Hes been a man of his word for 8 damn years. If you're still judging him as a liar, you're the a-hole, not him.
