Doc never said he was an insider. He said what was told to him.

Speaking of, did you ever think it might be Saban's team telling the UT boosters he was coming so they'd leak it for the purpose of extorting more money? I mean the only person who benefited from this whole debacle was Saban. UT got screwed. Bama is paying $7 million for a football coach of amateurs.

This is very plausible, and that is what Jimmy Sexton is paid to do. I have no problem with UA paying $7mill for Saban. The Yankees pay Hiroki Kuroda $15mill a year. Something is seriously wrong with baseball.

Nope. Never thought that for a second. He didn't have to have it "leaked" that he was coming because the job opening (or possible opening) was going to cause his name to be thrown around regardless.

Also, Doc was saying that the UT boosters had bought $25M of Saban's debt. They could obviously sign an agreement in secret with Saban and/or Sexton to do that, but I doubt very seriously that they would have paid $25M BEFORE he was locked in as their coach.

Doc definitely changed his tune on this. He said it was a done deal after all this debt stuff happened. Now, he says that they couldn't make an offer before Mack was out; and he doesn't know if Saban will take the $10mill/yr offer.

It's so laughable that people can believe that UT boosters made a "good faith" gesture to Saban to pay off a ridiculous amount of debt and didn't already having him locked up.

If you're not worried about Saban leaving for Texas, why are you so obviously distraught about Brown resigning?

I don't follow. I'm not distraught about Mack being out. I think it's actually pretty exciting. We wouldn't have much of a coaching carousel to follow without it. It should be a very interesting coaching search. I just don't believe that Saban is still in play.

Your posts prove you're not being honest. You keep calling posters out every time they hint Saban is leaving. You make ban bets on it. You really need to calm down.

I'm calm as can be. I enjoy the back and forth. And I don't give a damn about a ban bet. I'd like to make a real wager. My post history and signup date would suggest that a ban wouldn't mean much to me.

That was me that offered the ban bets. But I've never had to calm down because I was never upset.

I was offering the ban bet at those that really feel that Saban to Texas is a done deal. That's all.

Rafael Furcal made $7.5 mill last year! What the hell is wrong with baseball?

Because i'm not sure if the board is against a real money wager. Not once did I use the word "ban." I guess exact wording only matters when it's discussing whether a contract is "signed" or "completed" though.

I suggested whatever was within the rules of board. If it's no money, then I'd be happy to put up some other commodity. If that isn't allowed, we could be more creative and so on.

All I can say is that if Saban goes to Texas now he has pulled off the ultimate troll of Bama fans.
