How so?

We've gone past the point of no return with this whole deal.

If he stays, he has to explain this entire episode to the public. We're beyond the point where typical circumstances such as being on the road recruiting can excuse his lack of addressing the situation. If he simply wanted a raise, those negotiations would be over. He's shaking Bama for everything they're worth right now if that's the case.

Or, he takes the Texas job and the only explaining he has to do is "I did what was best for me and my family." It's very apparent that he can't turn down Texas at this point. Just my take.
