He interviewed with AU. He refused to talk to Kentucky and Tennessee.

Connection #4- Larry Porter

Never coached under Saban.

Connection #5- Major Applewhite

Was told by Saban to go find another job, which is why he went from OC at Bama to RB coach at Texas without having been "fired" first.

Connection #7- Texas would pay him whatever the hell he wants and be happy to do it

As would Bama. Seriously don't get this "point" from people. Texas isn't going to pay him $12M per year. the most any college team (that is a public university) would offer is $8M. Bama would match that within about 4 seconds.

Connection #8 it should be easier to win in Austin then any where else
