On my way to class this morning the guys on 105.3 the fan broached the subject that Nick Saban was expected to be meeting with some folks in Austin here pretty quick. Granted, I caught very little of the segment as I was running a bit behind and had to hurry in to class. I've searched for a reference from the station and for any form of podcast to validate that I'm not making this up, but to this point I've been unsuccessful. The guys on the station did mention that as of right now they don't have any official evidence either and it's just rumor at this point. I just thought this would be something interesting to keep an eye on.

 
I think this is a rumor at best and a very weak one at that. Some of the posters on shaggybevo have mentioned Saban's name but the impression I get is it's more of a wish-list than it is anything else.

 
I could see him leaving for the adventure of turning another team around, and he's never struck me as a very loyal guy.

The only thing that makes this plausible to me is that Texas is probably willing and able to more than quadruple Saban's current salary.

 
Seriously guys. Would it really shock anyone that much? Saban already has a track record of leaving a well-built machine to take on the challenge of building another. And Texas has the money. If he's a challenge driven guy as I suspect he is, it wouldnt surprise me one bit that he'd be gettin a tad bored with his success at Bama and would like the challenge of rebuilding a 3rd struggling program into a powerhouse. In fact, it's probably a scary thought. Saban? With that in state talent in his backyard (even moreso than he has now), and in the peeny weeny Big 12? Who's gonna stop him? Stoop? Gundy?

He already has the legacy of doing it with two programs. Why not make it a third? Cement that legacy that frankly will never be matched.

ESPN and the LHN need help so they will bring him in. Texas joins the B1G and wins a NC and a new B1G reign of consecutive NC's begins!!
