Nick Saban will be named the new head coach for the University of Texas in 24 hours

We will trade you...Muschamp for Saben....maybe throw in a case of stone crabs.

Maybe, just maybe, they're sick of seeing 2 threads a week about how Saban to Texas is a "done deal". Ironic that the rumors always seem to be instigated and/or perpetuated by Auburn fans. I'd get sick of it if I was a Bama fan.

I used to be able to stand seeing ANY thread, until I took an arrow to the penis.

but, but, we're Texas.....


University of Texas president Bill Powers denied Thursday that the Longhorns are looking to hire Alabama coach Nick Saban to replace Mack Brown.

"I've never met Nick Saban. I've never talked to Nick Saban. We have not hired Nick Saban," Powers told the Austin American-Statesman. "Mack's our coach, and I can say flatly that the rumors we have hired or come to an agreement with Nick Saban or even talked to him are false."

In October, The Associated Press reported that regent Wallace Hall, one of Powers' top critics, and former regent Tom Hicks spoke with Saban's agent in January about the possibility of Saban coaching at Texas. Tom Hicks is the brother of current regent Steve Hicks, one of the board's two athletic liaisons and a key Powers ally. That conversation took place just a few days after Alabama won the national championship and Texas had wrapped up a 9-4 season that included a bowl victory under Brown.
Powers on Thursday acknowledged that meeting to the American-Statesman.

"There was an outreach to his agent, and I exempt that from this discussion," he told the newspaper. "Whatever happened then happened. We don't have any plans one way or the other (to replace Brown). And we don't have an opening."


According to the newspaper, Tom Hicks spoke with Brown after that meeting about Saban potentially being his replacement, and Brown said he did not plan on resigning, so the conversation with Saban's camp ended.

Brown came under fire early this season as the Longhorns lost two of their first three games. However, they then won six straight before falling to No. 6 Oklahoma State, and they remain in contention for the Big 12 title as they prepare to face No. 9 Baylor on Saturday.

"I know this -- (Brown's status) is on a lot of people's minds," Powers told the American-Statesman, "but people are focused on the Baylor game."

Brown received a four-year contract extension in January 2012 that runs through the end of the 2020 season.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Check my post on the $10 million thread. InsideTexas insists it is going to happen. They say prior/during the Football Awards Banquet.
"I know nothing."

Was it that sports SportsHoopla thing?

Haven't you realized that Saban is such a great coach, he can stay at both schools, get both teams to the top of the polls, and then coach against himself in the MNCG...

 

[HizzleRocker]

I heard somebody say that they heard someone tell them that a reliable source told somebody that a message board somewhere else said he was coming to Texas.

 

[Ironbreaker]

People sure are pulling a lot of reliable sources out of their ass lately.

Texas President Bill Powers says he has never talked or met with Nick Saban

 

[rmilia1]

No one EVER thinks their coach is leaving. Then their coach leaves and even if there were numerous reports it was going to happen all the fans are SHOCKED. NO ONE should be shocked if Saban leaves, Thats what he does, he is a leaver ( and a dishonest one at that at least when it comes to his looking at other jobs). He has never been and probably never will be a super long term coach anywhere. A guy at his level has to enjoy a challenge and Bama simply isnt a challenge anymore. Does he leave for Texas?? Maybe, but even if he doesnt he will leave for somewhere sooner rather than later IMO. Cant imagine there being a much better situation than the Horns if you are looking to leave Bama.

I just got a Tweet Nick Saban has resigned and is headed to Rome where Pope Francis will step down and Saban will become Pope Nicholas I.
