This is what is commonly referred to as "lack of institutional control". Not sure that boosters reaching out to determine a coach's potential interest could qualify to be called the way you described it.
To answer the question in the OP, no, he wouldn't turn it down. IF (massive IF) Texas offered that amount, Bama would match and he would accept the Bama offer of $70M.

I don't argue with this. Its why it won't happen. A lot of things would have to happen - essentially toppling the existing power structure of the athletic department & maybe even the President. But these money brokers feel like they have the sway to accomplish this if Saban agrees to their terms.

If it got down to a bidding war, Bama is losing that. No one in the country has deeper pockets than Texas and its not close.
That being said I don't see any of this ever happening.
