If you believe this story from CBS Sports website...

Mike Tomlin, Jim Harbaugh reported as possible Texas candidates

I guess coaching the University of Texas must be the greatest gig in the entire football world, seeing as they can apparently get anybody they want :blink:

The source also mentions David Shaw and Urban Meyer as possible options.

Of course, it'd help to be clear on whether Mack Brown is actually 'resigning' or not :unsure:

$100M contract in an income tax free state is hard to refuse no matter who you are.

 

I think they want (and will get) Saban with the NFL coach's next on their list once Mack is officially gone.

Watching Saban jump ship again would certainly be entertaining :lol:

Do you believe it'd truly be possible to pry him away from Bama?

Absolutely....of course it's all rumors but many "sources" say that deal is done but just as many say it will never happen including Herbstreit who defintiely has credibilty so that gives me doubt. If it isn't the reported $100m that can lure Saban away, I think his ego may. Having a chance to take his 3rd team to a National Championship would make him even more of a legend if he can do it. Saban is keeping quiet and reportedly not signing an extension that has been sitting on his desk, but of course this whole Texas thing could just be a good negotiating tactic for him also.  

 

I know Brown is still there but the guy that broke the news that he is gone is also the same guy that broke the news of Texas' AD resigning which was denied many times....until it was announced.

 

Where there is smoke, there is fire.....

 

It will be interesting to see what happens.

The Pope is always perfectly healthy up to the moment he dies :blink:

The shenanigans could be a lot of fun to watch. Among the Crimson Tide fans, there would certainly be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
