Translation: "Saban's agent tells Alabama that he 'might' consider going to Texas if Alabama doesn't write him a HUGE check to stay." This is just part of a negotiation in which Saban holds ALL the leverage.

Ummmmmmm, no. Sorry, I don't buy this shite for one second. Nick Saban doesn't need leverage. If he wants more money all he has to do is say "hey, make my checks X amount of dollars from now on" and Bama would happily push the pen.

Look, Nick started getting cabin fever at LSU after 2003. I have to imagine that he's getting terribly bored with maintaining Bama as opposed to trying to build something up. There is nowhere else for Bama to go from here. I think UT is more in play than most people actually believe.

And the NFL was sniffing around. He knew he wanted to take a shot at it. If he wouldn't have gone, it would have bugged him for the rest of his life. He got his shot, didn't work out as well as he had hoped and Alabama happened to be available. If Ohio St, USC, Michigan, notre dame or a similarly high profile school been looking for a coach then he'd be there instead.
