It's pretty rare for coaches to leave a good school just over money. There's always some underlying reason.

I agree. Ask yourself who's driving this - Saban or Sexton? Because it makes a big difference.

The motivation for Sexton is money. That's why if you see Sexton behind this, it's just the annual holdup.

For Saban however, the motivation is power and control and very little else. Yes, both schools have more than enough money, but the UT people will have to agree to give far more than what realistically is other people's money. The UT AD / Board of Regents will have to give up their ego-base and hand the keys to the kingdom to Nick.

So if you believe Saban is behind this, the real question is - will the UT AD / Board of Regents give Saban their effective birthright? Remember, without those positions in the Texas Old Boy's Club, they are just another sad old man living on granddaddy's money.
