If Saban is not leaving, but simply holding out for more money, are y'all OK with him putting you through all of this just to squeeze more bucks from you? Not flaming here - just wanted to know if y'all think that keeping him is worth swallowing your pride and breaking the bank.

Not really. My life isn't that stressful, and I don't have any control over the situation. I'm just interested because there is little else to be involved in at the moment, interwebz-wise.

He signed an extension 8 months ago, has said repeatedly he is retiring from here, and his wife said two weeks ago they are staying, all the while he has been recruiting lights out for a 5th straight #1 class.

Yeah, we mad.

I think a lot understand it's a business decision, but feel slighted because it's another school and not a NFL gig.

Comes with territory of winning three times out of five.

Do longhorn fans appreciate 2 conference titles over 16 years??? How about the big money boosters at Ut running the show instead of an effective UT administration..... Y'all are a mess.

A smart person once told me to never turn down a job I haven't been offered. Because once it's offered everything changes.

Well, he could end the speculation by signing his contract extension and holding a press conference stating such.

They are ok with it. Long as they can stay on the arm of the OT 9.5 they'll put up with whatever.

Silly Bama fans. He's using you to either get a raise or get more money. That school is going to be bankrupt soon with how much they're paying him. The only thing Saban is loyal to is the money.

He hasn't done or said anything to make us think he is going to leave. The only people putting us through this as you say are people like you and ourselves for reading it.

He's not using us for anything. He's using Texas to get more money IF he's involved in this at all.

We are the second most profitable athletic department in the country. We can easily afford a $10 mil salary.
