Saban isn't going anywhere.

Gruden has expressed interest in the Texas job. Fisher isn't going anywhere, the ACC is good for easy wins year after year. Gus isn't going anywhere either.

The problem Texas is having is the same one they always have, too many cooks in the kitchen. It's a political nightmare and all the money in the world won't help you if you hate your bosses and you have 50 of them.

Unless Gus or Jumbo take it or Harbaugh surprises us, then I think they'll make a decent hire but not a great one.

Also IMO, Franklin would be a terrible hire.

You have boosters who willingly give millions and expect to have free reign and input in the athletic dept = disaster for any coach.

IMO, This is why it will be difficult to hire a new coach and also why UT will not even go after an African American. Big donors call the shots, the others in the AD are simply pawns.
