Right idea but wrong group - not the BOR/AD (this may change a bit with Patterson coming in) but the biggest of the big boosters. That group may include a BOR or two but will also include several others.
That's my point entirely - would the big money crowd sit back and shut up while Saban takes control of every facet of the football program? Because that's what it's all about with Saban - not money but control. Absolute and total control.
Do you see anyone in Tuscaloosa telling Nick anything? If Texas wants him, that's what the big boosters will have to learn how to do. And I don't see that crowd ever learning to keep their mouths shut over anything.

Alabama is well known for having boosters intertwined with the Athletic Department. They were at a point, though, they didn't given two shits what they had to do to get Saban. You want total control? Fine, just put the program back where it needs to be. I think Texas is about to that point. Wouldn't you agree?

The boosters often tell the AD who to write the check to - you don't believe that the AD actually hired Brown, right? (By hired I mean made the decision obviously). That was Tom Hicks and a couple other boosters (plus Royal). Then they told Dodds to hire Brown.
Mack is 30-19 overall since 2010 with a 18-16 conference record - you think he's still here yet doesn't have total control of the program? Dodds was never going to fire him nor tell him how to run the show.
The only time I know that any booster at Texas has forced Mack to do something was after the 5-7 season in 2010 and he was told that the OC had to go - and he resisted that until it was either the OC or him.
