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.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By frankw · Posted

      In terms of enthusiasm at this exact juncture it's a 5 only because regular season football is back and we are 0-0 and there is the development of some key young players that I am very interested in seeing in regular season action. That brief high will probably be knocked down to 1 by October though.

      I think the preseason performance has caused a "Meh" Cloud  to hover over the fan base.  I still have some interest and while I don't expect a lot of wins, I think there are other things I would like to see in terms of the team at least going in the right direction. On offense is Bryce the guy and is XL moving forward? Is the defense performing better with DB back Are the rookies and 2nd year players developing? That said, for me there is some intrigue but I don't think they will compete for a playoff spot.

      Well just a few years ago they went to the playoffs and won a playoff game with Daniel Jones at QB. And while the Giants have been up and down at best since their last Super Bowl they have shown to be a more competent organization. While the Panthers haven't so much as sniffed the playoffs in nearly a decade. Logic would dictate that the Giants strategy has a high probability to be at least modestly successful. The Panthers? Eh.
