Was Texas too arrogant?

A few well connected Texas folks went all in. Done deal. Vatican money. They just assumed they could get whomever they wanted. This tarnish them at all?

Yes they did but I also think they're looking to reel in a blue marlin on a push button Zebco. Saban was never going to get involved in that shite show.

I think this is a fair assessment. Mack stood his ground and made them eat their words. Had he given in I think it would have been realistically a 50-50 proposal as to whether CNS took the job or stayed at Bama.

I think Mack comes out as one of the winners for sure

Not really.
The people working this probably had a legitimate shot if they knew how to keep a secret. Stupidity, not arrogance was their biggest problem.

They're always like this. That's what we've been saying. That's why we left.

Dm21, good point

It wasn't so much that they swung for the fences that did them in but the fact that they panicked and didn't know how to handle Mack.
At midseason, it seemed to be a done deal that Mack would "voluntarily resign" but he actually turned his season somewhat around.
Yeah, he went from "fired" to "future AD" in 48 hours.

No. Texas is just all over the place right now. Way too many people trying to run their program.
The arrogance came from their fans and media who never looked at the thing objectively.

He's a lame duck coach this year. He hasn't won anything except putting a stop to the coup. He and Powers aren't in the best position.

I think Saban always intended to stay at Alabama but was going to listen to what Texas had to offer. That being said, no big time coach is going to touch that cess pool. Their boosters can't keep quiet. I still believe Alabama landed Saban in 2007 because our boosters weren't blabbing to anyone that would listen.

I was told that there was no offer since Saban told Sexton to tell them he would not entertain one. I think this was a power play by a few powerful Texas people to get rid of Brown and the AD. They manuf the Saban interest to try and force them out.

Point is, they panicked. Why'd they panic? What has happened in the last few years that made them suddenly HAVE to have a splash hire immediately?
Gee, I wonder...

There's a good chance that when this is all said and done, Mack will tarnish whatever legacy he had. Fortunately for Mack, the general fanbase - and lord knows the dumbasses at ESPN etc. who think he's a saint (or at least say it publicly because I know not all of them do) - does not know all of the stories that show just how petulant, insecure, and vindictive he really is. Let's put it this way, Mack staunchly defended a UT employee (one of his main cronies), to the point of trying to prevent his termination and then getting him a cushy job with a booster, who has sexually harassing every female student in the athletic department.
I could go on and on...

Yes, we all know about Cleve Bryant and your disgusting cesspool of a program. Congrats.

Bro, I have always been on the side that CNS was staying at Bama. But you are delusional if he was not giving it serious consideration. Dude is an awesome coach, but he is going to take care of CNS first. And there is nothing wrong with that. It's just business, nothing personal.
