re: Chip Brown's credibility

There isn't one Texas insider who is coming out of this without egg on their face, they have all said at one point saban was at least close to a done deal.

Having a bit of experience with this kind of story in college football, I can tell you that there's a chance that Nick Saban was very close to becoming Texas's next head coach and it didn't work out.

Anyone who thinks Saban and Sexton and anyone else involved were waiting for Brown to be excused before seriously discussing deals are out of their mind.

If I had to bet, I'd bet that Texas was seeing if Saban would come and if he wasn't willing to leave Alabama they'd just keep Mack Brown until they found someone else.
