Nick got a new contract in March...he does not win the SEC this year and does not play for the national title, yet he gets nearly a 50% raise yesterday...and we are supposed to believe that the idea of Texas flirting with Nick didn't have anything to do with this?

March of 2012.
He has won an SEC championship, BCS national championship, playing for another BCS bowl game and won over twenty games losing only two since his last extension.
That gets you a raise anywhere you are coaching. Let's be real.

Some group trying to force Mack out and Nick Saban negotiating a new deal.
These were parallel events running separately. Texass brass were never dealing with Saban. Never. Saban's agent did a great job of dealing with tons on misinformation and assumptions. Saban's agent and Bama concern for losing Nick got him his money. There was no offer from Texass.

I think the raise has more to do with the next job openings everyone will try to shoehorn Saban into.

Of course that's the reason. They may not have been seriously worried that he'd leave, but setting him up with the huge contract sure didn't hurt. Best way to fend off other programs that may come calling in the future.
That's Alabama's attempt to control the message. Leaks from Texas have been the only info up to this point. Alabama just wants to put their own spin on it.

Don't try and use logic with the gumps. A door knob, yes, a gump, no
