I was told today that UT is willing to offer far more than what is probably on that contract that is sitting on Saban's desk. Alabama should kindly rip the contract up, pretend it didn't happen and start again...

They will. If anyone can match and WILL match Texas for a football coach it's Alabama.

That said it's Austin versus Tuscaloosa. As I said, I'm heading to the hill country. It's not the money.

Either way, Saban to Texas is probably a bigger negative than him at Bama. I doubt he stops recruiting Louisiana with his ties and he'll make it that much harder to even step into our biggest OOS recruiting area.

You seem to be forgetting that we don't have to play Texas every fricking year. Yea, he will still steal a few guys out of LA like he's already doing at Bama, it won't be that much different. Especially since Texas has way more talent to pick from than the state of Alabama does.

If Texas puts its best financial foot forward, there is no way in hell bama will be able to match it. When it comes to football money, Bama's big. Texas is...well...Texas.

It's not bout money, it's about money where saban wants to be
