Also they let Mack brown hang around too long for sentimental reasons

I think this was the killer. Mack Brown refused to go quietly and threw a tantrum. He had big money friends who supported him and he was able to hang around and make it messy enough to torpedo the Saban deal. He just didn't want to give it up and he didn't want Saban to come in and show him up. And Texas was weak enough to allow it.
