Let's say Texas offered Saban $70 million over 10 years...

Yes...and then Harvey would poison his statue.

I think if it was 40-50 for 5 years he would consider it. I think Saban has proven he can go just about anywhere in college USA and succeed. FL? Meh.

He would do well there with the recruiting grounds of Texas, Most kids love UT, add Saban to the mix and poof success.

I don't like him, but respect the fact he is successful at what he does.

Here is the top 25 Chicken.

Serious question here,how come Miles name is never brought up with these other teams?

Yeah I know Saban has been known to move around and all,but if we're talking about one of the top coaching jobs in the nation,why is Miles name not thrown out more? He's a top flight coach imo..

Younger than Saban,has proved he can recruit and win as much as Saban,what am I missing here?

This is most likely the biggest reason. Miles name has popped up a couple of times, but other programs know they can't compete with Death Valley sod.

This is the first Saban to Texas thread that didnt start off with 80 insecure Bama fans screaming at how it would never happen, Saban is loyal to them, they wouldnt even consider that notion as a possibility blah blah blah


Good job Chicken
