Some unknown hatred here or something.

Maybe just a fear of him showing his sorry incompetent arse up by winning a Natty in less than three years or does he want to hand pick his successor, or did he just think he could ride this shite storm out and keep his job?

All of the above.

This is a man who threatened to cut Earl Campbell's medical care if he didn't fall in line.

So when Texas messed up the next hire, he's vindicated.

They were never getting Saban. Does it make sense now? Texas is just a joke.

How do you know Saban isn't still going to Texas?

Same reason Saban recommended Houston Nutt to succeed him at LSU. Everybody puts ego over loyalty.

I wonder if he is still getting the administrative position for 1 million a year like Doc said and wants to be involved aka meddle, and knew Satan would have none of that shite.

If that's the case it's A&M and R.C. Slocum all over again.

That means 10+ long years of mediocrity.

I thought Saban and Mack were friends?

This could be Saban and Mack sticking it up Tejas arse, sideways and dry. Playing them like fiddles.

They were putting pressure on him to leave. After 16 years of winning seasons, a heisman and national championship, I would have done the same fricking thing if my employer was showing no respect or appreciation for what I had done.

I'm glad he fricked that deal up. Texas deserved it.

A&M fans must be loving the hell out of this. This needs to be a drinking game or something.

Can we get some good billboards from you guys or something

Yes it's quite entertaining. And Brown didn't torpedo anything except for his own reputation. Saban was never going anywhere, his silence just earned him a pay raise.

Nick Saban was never going to move.

He said it himself...

We lived through this to a lesser extent when Slocum was let go...only R.C. wouldn't resign, so Gates fired him.

Up until that point, he had the #3 recruiting class and Franchione managed to frick that one up.

Coincidentally, we were also getting rid of University President Ray Bowen and AD Wally Groff that same academic year.

Texas is keeping Powers but getting rid of Dodds.
