At least he didn't say "he is not going to be Texas coach"

Translation: "Saban's agent tells Alabama that he 'might' consider going to Texas if Alabama doesn't write him a HUGE check to stay." This is just part of a negotiation in which Saban holds ALL the leverage.

Ummmmmmm, no. Sorry, I don't buy this shite for one second. Nick Saban doesn't need leverage. If he wants more money all he has to do is say "hey, make my checks X amount of dollars from now on" and Bama would happily push the pen.

Look, Nick started getting cabin fever at LSU after 2003. I have to imagine that he's getting terribly bored with maintaining Bama as opposed to trying to build something up. There is nowhere else for Bama to go from here. I think UT is more in play than most people actually believe.

And the NFL was sniffing around. He knew he wanted to take a shot at it. If he wouldn't have gone, it would have bugged him for the rest of his life. He got his shot, didn't work out as well as he had hoped and Alabama happened to be available. If Ohio St, USC, Michigan, notre dame or a similarly high profile school been looking for a coach then he'd be there instead.

As an Alabama fan I hate the idea of him leaving. That being said, I don't think anyone can accurately tell if he's staying or going. When it comes to money, I gotta believe the alumni and UoA will try to match anything Texas would offer. The fact is, he may well want that new challenge of building up another team.

He's also said his wife and family are happy where they are, and that that will make his final decision. Every year this will be a topic, and I'm more than a little shocked at how convenient this article that's been spread just happened to pop up this week, prior to this big game.

He may well leave Alabama. He may well go to Texas. Only time will tell.

Not that I think he is leaving because I don't, but this is the worst argument that you can make. How many coaches do you ever hear say that their families hate it where they are at and that they want to move? He said the exact same thing here as one of the reasons that he liked it here so much, right before he left.
