skersfan Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 The underlying thing here is that Texas has over a billion dollars willed to them from boosters, Mac is the reason. Totally different job there than any where else. He may move upstairs, but he will never be fired. Quote Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Saban is already totally loaded. I don't see him leaving just to be more loaded. At his age he only has one more jump left in him, I think he'd take the big check and challenge of going to the NFL. Tried and failed. Pete Carroll would like a word with you... Pete's first stint with the NFL wasn't nearly as successful as his current one. As far Saban goes, you can't tell me his HC gig with the Dolphins was that great. Quote Link to comment

Just because Saban wasn't successful the first time doesn't mean he couldn't be the 2nd time Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 a billion dollars from trial work? good gawd. also, how terrible would it be for a whole program to be held hostage by one booster? and we get upset over some big-time, small-town banker. and him threatening to sue? what a joke. way to be the worst caricature of an attorney, buddy. Pennzoil v. Texaco. $335 million contingency fee. That's crazy. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 FootballScoop Staff @footballscoop 13s #OrangeBloods RT @kbohls: Sources: Texas AD Dodds stepping down http://shar.es/KxP0C Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 If that happens then Mack will move to AD, pretty much what I expect. He will not be fired. They will make room for him to keep face with the boosters who absolutely love him. Good thing for Mack I think. I know most on here really dislike him, but I like him a lot. He is in the mold of Coach Osborne, coach Snyder and Bowden. I miss that type of coach and I think college football does to. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 That tweet doesn't give the full story. Dodds is going to announce that he will be stepping down next August Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 That tweet doesn't give the full story. Dodds is going to announce that he will be stepping down next August So Mack goes to Associate AD for a year to learn the ropes then moves up? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Early speculation this month about who could replace Dodds centered around Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, but he has denied any interest in the job and said he expects to remain in his current role for "a very long time." So he'd go from being the figurehead of the conference to the guy with the actual power? Makes sense. ESPN Article Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 UConn just fire Pasquloni (spelling). The trend is catching on. Quote Link to comment
GM_Tood Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Rumor mill today stating that Mrs. Saban and daughter in-law was in Austin house hunting. Jesus Shuttlesworth don't lie. Quote Link to comment
