re: Some in Austin think Saban to Texas is possible in the future

quote:

---

Connection #1 - Saban won't even speak to nfl teams meaning he's happy at Bama or has something else lined up like Texas

---

I'm not even going to address this.

quote:

---

Connection #2- Mack has lost favor with big boosters and at most has next year only if things don't get better.

---

Agree, but that doesn't have anything to do with Saban.

quote:

---

Connection#3- Kirby Smart was approached by all the jobs open in the SEC and refused to even talk to any of them leading one to believe he knew Bama would be open soon and he would be the choice to fill it.

---

Or he is like the Chief and knows he is a DC through and through. Also could be that he wants to get some experience as an HC elsewhere like Malzahn did.

quote:

---

Connection #4- Larry Porter was just hired by UT when he really does not have much connection to Mack. Of course porter was national recruiter of the year two or three times under Saban at lsu and they have history together. ( posters have pointed out Porter did not work under Saban but I really don't remember)

---

Already addressed.

quote:

---

Connection #5- Major Applewhite is o cord now who was of course also o cord under Saban at Bama.

---

Saban fired his arse.

quote:

---

Connection #6- Stacy Searles is o line coach which he was with Saban at LSU.

---

Where is the Oline coach from Mich St coaching now? Maybe he wants to go there?

quote:

---

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

---

Saban is paid a shite-ton and will probably get a bump if he wins on Monday. UT has a bunch of money, sure, but him leaving for more money is low on the totem pole of concern.

Connection #8 it should be easier to win in Austin then any where else. Fertile recruiting ground, better place to live, better quality of life, easier conference where you only have to win a few games to be conference champ. Plus the ego boosting fame if the longhorn network gets picked up nationally.

He seems to be doing okay at UA. Also, Austin > Tuscaloosa in a social sense. However, sometimes people are happy in a smaller setting. You know, folks who work a bunch and then relax at a lake house.
