re: Article: Why Texas was so confident they'd get Nick Saban

The part of this fairy tale i don't get is why evil scumbag saban won't initially do the deal unless mack steps down and signs off on it (presumably because he is so concerned about perception), and yet is willing to leave bama in the lurch after a new contract extension and saying numerous times that he is going to retire at Alabama, forever tainting his legacy. All this while knowing he is really going to go to Texas after the bowl game anyway. And what exactly is this heat he was supposed to have felt that prompted the delay? Heat from whom, and like there would be less heat later on? if anything the outcry would be greater. This whole story is pure fantasy that has been thrown out to chum the waters for the stupider sort of corndog.
