Hey, earlier in the week I was all about pointing out the difference between coming to an agreement on terms and having actually signed the extension. You're the only Bammer I've seen who actually understands that, so I'll give credit where it's due in your case. +1 Every other mouthbreathing, Finebaum acolyte swears up and down that the extension has been signed, so kudos to you for standing out from the pack.
Where it gets entertaining is seeing just how frothy the average Bama fan gets at the mere intimation that their Dark Lord and Savior couldn't possibly have his head turned by Texas, to the tune of doubling his salary. If he and Terry were sooooooo in love with Tuscaloser and were sooooooooo changed as human beings after the tore-NAY-da - (Remember, "Some things matter more to Saban than money) - then why didn't he stay at the same salary and insist that the $2-2.5M bump he just agreed to go to buy new cinder blocks from Home Depot to re-prop up the trailers that were knocked over in 2011?
Provided, of course, that money doesn't matter to him, like many of y'all have had your kids type for you on this forum. If that's not true, however. If Saban plans on keeping the extra $2-2.5M, then can we agree that additional cash does indeed show up on his radar, and that if your current employer offers you a 50% raise, you'd be a fool not to take it?
I'm down with taking that approach if y'all are, but by your own arguments at that point, he'd be an even bigger fool not to take TWICE his salary if offered by another school.
