I know he claimed that Mack would bow out, which may or may not happen.

I honestly believe this was an internal power play at Texas. Mack's camp which included Powers and Dodds and a shitload of old money boosters and they were up against the "new money" camp that wanted Mack out.

Chip got his info from the "new money" camp. I think those guys fed bottom feeders like Chip, Orangebloods, etc.. the Mack resignation story and also the Saban offer story. When that started to fail and Mack dug in they upped the ante and had Kirk Bohls of the Austin American Statesman write the story this week that Mack Brown should go to turn the heat way up.

When the new money guys couldn't get Saban interested the wheels came off their wagon. Mack's camp dug in and they won. I think there was a hell of an internal battle among high level boosters. Lots of hard feelings and some really nasty shite went on.

The old guard at Texass won this battle. It really wasn't about Saban, it was about who controls the athletic department. It was coup in ever sense of the word.
