If nothing happens with that, Saban will stay. Sorry, shorthorns, but he's going to make $48 mil in 8 years; and he's still under contract until 2019. He's currently making $5.62mil, and gets a minimum $100,000 annual raise every year from now to 2019. I believe his contract has a buyout...and even UT wouldn't be able to pay it.

It's just not going to happen.....UNLESS the NCAA brings the boom on Bama.

Texas can offer the $7 or $8 mil I've heard bantered about...but Bama's ready to exceed that and even go to $10 mil if need be.

I don't see this happening.

A more likely scenario would be Charlie Strong being hired by UT.
Did you just call my team the "shorthorns"? Are you tired of living?
