Was it booster or some other Texas jack leg that said UT has more money than what is kept under The Vatican?

If they really wanted him, why not offer Coach Saban $15 mil or $20 mil?

I would like him to remain at UA, but why not throw the bank at him?

Who said they won't? The public figure would be $10 million so as to prevent a shitestorm, but the boosters could kick in additional millions under the table.

They will give him whatever it would want. If he wanted $20 million, they would pony up.

I guess the question in mind is if they wanted Coach Brown out or did they want Coach Saban in?

If it is the second part then why not open the doors of the vault to Sexton and let him take what he wants?

That may be happening as we speak. None of us really have any clue.

are people really saying that if UT officially offers him 10 million a year he won't take that?

The only way to outbid Alabama would have to be an absurd, completely insane figure. Much higher than $10M

Alabama got flak for paying Saban $5M

Our President has had to spend years doing PR and going out of his way to show Saban is worth it.
