4. Saban looked more relaxed on Gameday and was wearing tie colors of Texas.

I recall seeing him in a purple and gold tie while on Gameday, I think it was Auburn's last BCS appearance. I recall laughing about it; but I didn't really think he was jockeying to replace Les (and this was after LSU had dropped off a bit).

Now, the one issue I think nobody has considered is this- he does have one hell of an ego. If Texas has shown it can recover and make a run at a title, and they play some other hot coach off of Saban (well, we actually think Coach _____ is better than you anyway), then he might take it to prove he's the best. Not sure who is out there that you can do that with; Chip Kelly? One of the Harbaugh's? Pete Carroll obviously could get under his skin, but that would be way too farfetched right now with the Seahawks as good as they are.
