Why Nick Saban Won't Leave Alabama For Texas: A Psychological Perspective
Posted on 12/12/13 at 11:55 am

Rumors are racing that Nick Saban, the storied coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, might leave Tuscaloosa, Alabama to take a coaching spot at the University of Texas. If he left for Texas, he’d replace another iconic coach, Mack Brown, who seems as much a part of Texas football as Bevo the longhorn steer.
There are plenty of articles written about this from a sports angle, and I don’t intend to retread that ground. Instead, I want to use Saban’s example as an excellent case study from a cognitive and behavioral psychology perspective to illustrate why someone in his position may consider his options, but will not make a radical change as some pundits are claiming.
ETA: I should of known better, but I thought the article was so ridiculous that people would see the humour, most did. The rest of you...

Going from Alabama to tu isn't a radical change.

That's about as good of a reason as the Bama fans saying he will stay cause Terry is happy there. Does anyone honestly think he gives 2 shits what his wife wants to do? I'm sure if she's happy in Bama land, he'd be more than happy to let her stay there. Less to have to deal with while at UT.

If Forbes gets this one right it will be the first time in 15 years they've written something speculative that turned out to be accurate

Heres some psychology for you:
Bear Bryant 6 NCs
Mack Brown 1
Saban would be actually leaving FOR the lessor legacy

She's just as ambitious as he is. If the $, prestige, chance to become an all-timer lined up, Terri Saban would follow her husband to Antarctica.

Meh. If he does leave, I actually think the psychological reasons will be what prompts it. He's viewed as a rich daddy at Bama, and his petulant kids (Bama fans) don't care how hard he works to provide for the family. They just want the key to the mercedes to go on a joyride.
Texas fans will view him as a messiah.
