Ran across the yahoo wire just a while ago... The rumors have been swirling for a while, this is the first news outlet, if you consider yahoo a news outlet, to say that it will happen.

Saban is going to be a very rich man.

I know the positives in going to Texas. But the positives in staying at Alabama seem to outweigh them. Imo.

I'm taking this all with a grain of salt until I hear something official from the universities

Saben would be smart to parlay Texas' overtures into a fat raise.

 

[Novajacket]

Amazing to think someone can outspend Bama. If Texas offer's way more than Bama he is gone. Not like he has ever shown any care for loyalty he will go to the highest bidder.

I say Bama makes him a offer he can't refuse. Wonder what he could do at Georgia Tech?

... some would say 7 -5...
who knows for sure. There'd be some positive buzz, but IMO the academics, etc. would not lead to a major rise in recruiting.

I think that would be a great way to put an end to all the theories on these boards. Give Saban 5 years at Tech, but deny him gray/blue shirting, and see if he can keep the APR and win more than 7-8 per year. Now who wants to chip in for his $7 mil a year???

 

[awbuzz]

Texas is offering $10MM+

Are they just internet rumors or do the articles I've read recently, from 2011, about his bad real estate investments have any validity?

He's a really really poor investor. It's kind of funny.

I guess the power of the Bear is still hard to overcome..........yeah he will get ten or fifteen million and half of Austin............SEC will be glad he is gone but next guy aint coming with cupboard bare.

I just don't care either way. Go/stay - makes no difference to me. Same thing with Muschamp. Fire him - or don't. I don't care.

Well ole Nick will keep you on edge of seat...remember he told folks he was staying with Miami. ....the went to BAMA.

 

[Oldgoldandwhite]

St. Nick got well for Christmas. Reups at Bammer for reported 7+million.

Yes he did....and nobody to keep him in check.

 

[Beau Vinetti]

Nick Saban is all about one thing and that is Nick Saban. He should have pushed for a raise for his assistant coaches instead of a few more million for himself. The guy is an ego maniac. You can't argue with his success but I for one would not trust the guy

 

[Mack]

Think you are right about Nick....its hallways somebody to blame when he loses.

 

[ybeenormal]

Have to agree with that. I bet ol nick chewed that kicker in and out for missing that 58 yard fg even though he was a freshman and it was a very unlikely outcome

I still laugh at the Auburn t shirt that has a clock and a goal post and a wording Saban time ,its funny yet not as funny as the old punt bama punt cartags.
