McPhaul on the Orange Report
- Thread starter pompomman
- Start date
Mack making it difficult. MB going to walk away with a lot of money. Still believes Saban will be named coach. Timetable pushed back because of MB. Said he wishes that he had never said 100%. McPhaul says he will have to go into witness protection program if Saban doesn't sign.
Sounded confident but you can tell that MB dragging this out isn't helping

They'll have a podcast up at some point soon.

Thanks for the summary. So should we disregard McPhaul's post earlier in which he said the "Saban to Texas deal is done"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* We've been talking about this for how long? at least 6 weeks...
* My sources have never deviated away from that (Saban to Texas)
* Sources have been standing firm about our chances
* Heard it is "all but a done deal"
* Originally heard announcement will be on Monday (but most likely will be on Tuesday morning now)
* Everything delayed due to Mack holding off on his announcement, has delayed Saban announcement
* "Dominos are beginning to fall"
* "By this time next week we should be sitting pretty"
* "Will not say 100%" -- "removing that term from his vocabulary"
* regarding Saban's contract: "there's never been another one like it, half public and half private"
* Includes side deal that may not be known to anyone (???)
* "Let's celebrate last year (2013 season) and the last 16 good years Mack has been with us"
* Host: what have we done to keep Mack from meddling?
* "The hiring of Patterson alleviated a lot of that, in addition to the new power brokers"
* "Having the new power brokers in charge (hicks brothers and co) ushers in a new area for the University of Texas"
* Says Saban will have the free will to install a "winning environment"
* Host: about Mack pushing back for more, what was done today to wrap that up?
* a: "There was delay because Mack was strong-arming us"
* "7-10 year contract at $1m per year"
* "Bigger buyout" and a "position comparable to what they gave DKR"
* Included "private money that had already been poneyed up but that didn't happen, so we had to come up with more money"
* "He made out pretty well" (editorial comment - understatement)
* "He went out kicking and screaming"
* "He got his share" and we should "concentrate on something positive going forward"
* "I think once he gets into retirement he will enjoy more life more than he is thinking right now"
* "Last few years have not been kind to Mack ...kind to us...kind to anybody - Mack does not look like he is having fun on the sidelines"
* "Doesn't look like it is fun for him"
* "It's time, and i think everyone would agree"
* "That's all i have on that subject to tell you the truth"
* Host: Comment about HornSports being all in on Saban from the start
* "Hornsports can have the last chuckle on the whole topic" since they were right from the start
* "If it doesn't, just put me in witness protection program"
