So Saban signed a 9 million dollar contract with Texas while Mack Brown still had one last game to coach? I call bullshite. The main reason being, it's bullshite. The second reason being, how bad would Texas looked had Brown and the Longhorns beaten Baylor yesterday with this secret deal already signed and sealed? They would have won the Big 12 outright and would be on their way to play UCF in the Fiesta Bowl.

Do I even need to tell you to imagine the PR shitstorm that would have resulted from such a move? It would be Jetgate multiplied by a hundred.

Stop analyzing it, there's no point as this is already done. Kirby Smart is his replacement at Bama

Smartest thing I've heard out of a Bama fan on the Topic. I just heard on an Austin ,TX sports radio show that they have confirmed that Saban closed on a house in Lakeview just outside of Austin.

Saban rumors- the latest
Several interesting rumors floating around.
9 mil to Texas. Signed contract day before auburn game.

Now I think this is completely bullshite. But there are several interesting points
1. Why would Terry Saban say what she did! even though I think it was a slip of the tongue. If you are gone, you might want to get off your chest just how you feel.
2. Why haven't Saban and Battle announced a new long term contract like A&M did with Sumlin. This would have put all these rumors to bed.
3. Saban coached against auburn like his heart and soul were not in it. Just saying.
4. Saban looked more relaxed on Gameday and was wearing tie colors of Texas. He could have stated publicly I am getting ready to sign new deal and I am ending all this doubt. Did did not do that.
5. If it's going to happen, it will be soon, before the college awards so no embarrassing moment for Saban or Mack.

Now, I don't think any of this is going to happen, but if it does, I. have gone from being totally skeptical to it being slightly plausible.

I hope coach stays. If not, thank you for the memories and so long.
