I think the best case scenario for Texas is to go forward with Mack, but start the season with him saying this is his last year.

True, but I think it would be better for everyone else('s sense of humor) if he stayed, rattled off some ten wins and a couple of B12 championships, all topped off with a few consecutive victories over Oklahoma just to rub it in their faces.

Either way, I think the Saban ship has sailed for them now. Those big money boosters (you know, the ones with more money than everyone but the Vatican?) don't like having their egos bruised.

Respect Brown less. He should bow out with some dignity at least. But at least now we get to see him get destroyed by Oregon.

Saban is Saban, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary for his standards here.

Though facts are scarce at this point, I respect Mack less and respect Saban the same.

However, my opinion on Mack might change if the full story comes out about how ridiculous of a shitshow the booster culture there is with regard to this thing. I can't hate a guy for getting his back up when the boosters are making plays for another coach while both still have a job. But, like I've maintained, for someone who incessantly maintains that he has Texas's best interests at heart, Mack seems to be mostly concentrated on the well-being of Mack Brown.

As for Saban, I'd actually argue that he was slightly underpaid as it was, and that Bama got off easy in not having to go anywhere near 8 figures as was the widely held belief on here. He probably listened to what they had to say, but I have to believe that this was all a ruse orchestrated by Jimmy Sexton that the UT boosters -- and media -- bought hook, line and sinker.
