Not really knowing what your agenda is, but it is certain you are simply speculating - supported by nothing. I WILL say this if you are a Bama, Bellmont or OB supporter, which it appears you are one of them. There is a big old train headed your way - it's called the heartbreak train. Sorry.
You are speculating as well my friend. Every one is that isn't named nick saban. I hate ob and the rivals network.Not really knowing what your agenda is, but it is certain you are simply speculating - supported by nothing.

That's why it's ridiculous to think this whole dramatic exercise, of Saban to UT, was choreographed for the explicit purpose to squeeze more money from Bama. Particularly if Saban wanted a raise. Because all he had to do was tell his agent to tell Bama he wanted one and there would be no negotiation over it.
Actually, he may not be far off, at all. Everyone isn't buying the Saban to Texas talk. I'm one of them as well. As bad as I want to believe it, I just don't see it happening. I do hope it does, even though if it does it doesn't guarantee anything as far as wins and championships go.Not really knowing what your agenda is, but it is certain you are simply speculating - supported by nothing.

You are wrong in saying you have to be Saban to know what he wants to do. You COULD be the person that he told, personally, he would accept the job only if Mack Brown is gone. Would you consider that person a speculator?
Again, that's not something that has been verified. It's speculation that he said that to his agent. I've yet to see anyone go on record outside of an "insiders" saying that this was said. We still don't have an official opening for Macks job and conflicting rumors about his "retirement". Nothing the insiders have said has come to pass.they got the ad wrong already. When some of the stuff they say start coming to fruition then they will have some credibility lined up with this story. Until then they are the ones blowing the smoke.
Actually, I fall into your camp. My disbelief in Saban coming here has always been centered around the motivation - or lack of it. Why would he feel the need? I never believed money whipping him was the answer, feeling he was already amply wealthy. I didn't buy the so called "challenge" either. He has plenty of that at Bama. As far as his wife, he is the principal money winner and she goes where her husband goes - as it should be.
Until Saban actually comes here it will always be speculation - particularly if you aren't privy to the private discussions which neither you or I are. I find it interesting, however, you are more willing to believe your co-workers as the gospel and not the UT blogs. This is what makes you seem to have an agenda.
It's not that I believe theirs more than ours.its that it's not even being talked about and something like this would be talked about by both sides if there were any truth.its also public record that they bought a house in Baton Rouge last year too but you don't see LSU fans jumping to conclusions.its also a known fact that their son lives in Austin and recently got married. A wedding gift perhaps? The ap only reported what they know that they spoke and that was it.if they were still speaking it would have been in the ap by now and not relegated to ut forums. There is no proof that they have lost a substantial amount of money. That's another claim made only on the forums. My agenda is simple. Don't get my hopes up for something that has no evidence beyond the fact that his agent was approached by us, he listened, and obviously Saban said if I were to move UT would be it. That in no way means that he ever intends to do so. I'll get into a frenzy when we are given something substantial and verifiable. Insiders at paysites.there have an Agenda. That's getting ut brethren to join their sites for this insider information. That's worth it with recruits but with coaches that have clauses were the coaches institution must be asked permission to speak to said coach it would be well known by both camps that there are talks.since it's only our boards I think we are the ones getting played.
That of course is assuming that there will be a HC opening in Austin. The insider's info about macks retirement on the 2nd has yet come to pass. They are acting like Auburn did with the Tubberville/Petrino incident a few years ago. I'd like to think we run our ship a little better then letting people outside the AD discussing very serious job offers to other coaches. That hasnt happened. The insiders may feel good that Saban is a guy that they would approach but I highly doubt anything has been set in motion yet since that would be LEAKED immediately to ALL major news outlets. Come on, we are Texas, that is NEWS. I'll be skeptical until at least ONE thing the insiders says will happen, happens. Im not saying theres not a scenario where Saban does come to UT. but with the way things stand currently i find that HIGHLY unlikely and find it highly unlikely that there wouldnt be smoke on their side as well. There is none, there is no evidence to support anything they say.
