If you were in Saban shoes, would you stay or leave?

I'm just curious to see the consensus. I have said repeatedly he isn't going anywhere, but the more I weigh the factors it seems like a no brainer.
-enjoys building programs
-easier recruiting efforts
-more $$$$
-Lake Travis
-Liberal neighbors versus redneck gumps
I've said it over and over, he stays.... But, logically if I were HIM I'd be GONEEEE

Depends on the money difference.
Money the same:
I stay. Already built the program. I'm an NFL factory. Love the state I'm living in (Also, I actually like Tuscaloosa despite being an Auburn fan). Too risky to go do it somewhere else even if it is Texas. Fans love me. More stability .
You'd have to give me a significant pay raise to go build another program.

Lets see Austin or Tuscaloosa, Alabama?
Easy choice.

Retirement is in sight.
Do I want to retire in Tuscaloosa or Austin?
Of course, I'm rich enough to have multiple homes and/or move when I retire.

I'd go. Saban can do nothing but, at best, plateau at Bama from here on out.
Posted on 12/12/13 at 3:27 am to Signature
How much would the no state taxes in Texas benefit him? Would those breaks be enough to even be considered a big bargaining chip for UT?

Honestly....I would leave. Winnning a NC at 3 schools is a legacy. Winning 27 NCs at Alabama he still won't come close to the Bear. He is a builder...not a sustainer. He could build one more program and retire at 69-70.
Oh...and get paid a lot more.

with the amount of money I seen being thrown around if its anywhere close to that he is crazy if he doesnt go
Posted on 12/12/13 at 5:27 am to Signature
Nah. But again, I love Alabama and I don't think he does.

I'm probably a more relaxed and complacent person than Saban, so I'd stay. That doesn't really serve as any kind of indicator for what he might do, however.
The only thing that lead me to believe he's probably staying is his age. All the other factors people are leaning on are bullshite (loyalty, his word, etc). CFB coaches are about as loyal to schools as schools are to them.

Yes, I would get as far away from those spoiled, entitled nut balls as possible before they kill a family member bc I made a bad call.
Posted on 12/12/13 at 5:36 am to Signature
Ever been to Austin? Ever been to Tuscaloosa? I'd leave in a heartbeat. With the money being thrown around by both schools, he and his family (and family's families) can be set for life, unless he throws it away with bad investments.
Posted on 12/12/13 at 5:57 am to Signature
I'd leave, but I'd have 24hr security for me and the family
Posted on 12/12/13 at 6:15 am to Signature
I'd be gone. I've never been to Tuscaloosa, but have driven by and it just looked like a terrible place. I honestly feel like I remember seeing a dirt road leading into the city.
This was way back during my drive to NO for the BCSNCG, so my memory is a bit skewed. Either way, Austin > Tuscaloosa.

Gumps=He Gone

If it was me? I'd stay and intentionally run that shitty program into the fricking ground so bad that not even Jesus himself could resurrect it.

Could he build a program at Texas fast....yes...fact
Could he put an end to the speculation on ESPN....yes...fact
Since he hasn't done the above, each day that goes by leans more and more towards a deal in Austin... Fact
I think he gone...
