Little Nicky is king at bama. He tells rich donors to STFU and they say yes sir. He couldn't do that at Texas and that is why he stayed put.

Well, it's like I've said. Part of the reason it was so easy for Saban to come in and do that is because our rich donors have been cowed over the last 20 or so years. They've seen their schemes blow up in their face and otherwise prove much less effective than they expected. Their meddling put Alabama in a really bad place.

Saban came at the perfect time to sweep them all off into the background.

Texas's cigars are a lot richer and a lot more arrogant (though I realize that, with money people, arrogance reaches a point of diminishing returns).
