Surely UT has a plan of some sort right?

I know the whole Saban story or whatever you want to call it, but wtf are they doing? Are they really just letting no one run the program right now? This whole situation is just bizarre.

The plan is Nick Saban.

And he'll be in burnt orange in a fortnight

The next head coach has one more game in New Orleans before he leaves his current job.

all big time programs have a plan. They are running interference through a search firm so that UT can say they have their hands clean if someone who is currently at a good gig (like AU or FSU or OSU etc) is contacted to gage their interest. It is the dead period so folks are not in a huge amount of hurry at this point.

just go back and look at the LSU search before we hired CLM- rumors, coaches saying NO not me , speculation-

and then the coach we hired - everyone said WHO???

UT may hire Saban- which I think is near impossible proportions or they will go through the process and every one will say WHO? why him?

Agree, but if you make an opening in a mission critical position you better have a plan.

What is bizarre is we all think we know what is going on behind the scenes because of internet rumors, tweets, ESPN commentary and the like.

We actually know nothing at all, but we comment like they are idiots because we think we know their actions when actually we know nothing at all.

that's what bizarre IMHO.

fair enough, it just seems odd that your not hearing any rumors of names or interviews.

Perception is reality. Texas(boosters) force Dodds out to make it easier to get rid of Mack Brown. Bring in a new AD to fire and replace Brown. UT looks bad early in the season and Brown's firing appears imminent. Word starts to leak about Saban to UT. Brown turns the team around and almost wins the Big 12. Can't fire him even though they have Saban lined up. One week stall before Brown is forced to retire....Saban stays at Bama. AD puts together a search committee to do job he was hired to do. It appears to most people that no one at UT is actually in control of anything at this point.
