re: Bama considered TX rumors 'smoke' over the Brown Coup- never took seriously

Furthermore, a sense of confidence existed among Alabama's top power players because of Saban's respect for Brown. The two coaches played Jenga against each other for an ESPN commercial, coached against each other in the 2010 BCS National Championship and hold each other in high regard.

Saban, a source said, would not be interested in participating in a "coup" to replace the veteran Longhorns coach.

This is the main reason I was never worried. It's obvious they were trying to force Mack Brown out at Austin. Brown and Saban are good friends. I don't think Saban would have appreciated his friend being the victim of a coup d'tat.
