Lol.just someone that know bs when he sees it because he is familiar with NCAA bylaws and the contractual obligations. Baghorn has preached that our school has committed some serious infractions. That's just stupidity to the utmost degree if you believe that jazz. There's not even an opening and people say they know what our AD will do. It's amazing how blinded people are that just ignore common sense and the only facts were can prove at this point but then go with rumors like middle school girls and perpetuate them endlessly and claim they are real. They also ignore the great writing method that's being implemented by those who are know giving themselves a way to save face. It's pretty simple. And Hookem, I'm sure if it gets to that point there will be actual, credible, information out there that will have my tune changing. I don't listen to rumors, especially when they get one wrong and then the actual hire is a guy they said was needed to get Saban instead of Luck. You believe stuff like that you'll believe anything

 

[orangeman01]

What are you going to post about when this ends one way or another? I don't think you've ever posted anything else other than negative Saban talk.

It's called being an adult. Learning how to discern credible info or sources from those that aren't. And knowing NCAA bylaws, contractual obligations and such. I've posted on other topics. This is the topic that interest me the most considering if what the insiders said is true than we are going to get hammered by NCAA and have legal consequences.

 

[alonghorn72]

Im really not trying to kill you or bury either side. I see things, I report them, you discuss them. Without discussion Id just be talking to myself again....

That's fine as long as you don't start answering your own questions.

If you'd told us weeks ago that you had extensive knowledge of NCAA bylaws, contract law and such (I've always wanted to know more about such...) then we could've put this whole Saban to Texas mess to rest. So for those of us who lack discernment and who are in the dark on the NCAA and the law why don't you detail the infractions and the resulting consequences, from both the NCAA and legal standpoint, for both UT and Nick Saban? It's time to put up or shut up.

 

[orangeman01]

Look them up.its not hard. The guys contract is pretty straightforward along with the NCAA bylaws preventing boosters from hiring, firing, or paying coaches. You got the information at your fingertips.

 

[orangeman01]

It's pretty much why this talk is only relegated to UT forums. Credible news organizations would be all over this story if there was any validity to it besides claims that can't be confirmed and go directly against contractual obligations and NCAA bylaws

You have basically called every insider out there a fraud including Mcphaul, and that no one has any credible info. Once the coaching situation is over I doubt we see you post again as will be back on the Bama board

ESPN national radio was just talking about Saban to Texas yesterday. Yeah no one outside a UT forum is talking about it

 

[Kiddodoc]

I really want it to happen so I am hoping the downplaying by some insiders is truly the smoke screen! Just worried it won't happen.

Lol, Orangeman... sounds like a rumor to me and you stating rumors without factual content to base your premise on. Being a adult you would no that though right? But feel free to post your rumors without factual context here and be one of "us".

5PM today - Local 15's Clement Townsend spoke with Jeff Purinton, the Associate AD at Alabama. He said Coach Nick Saban isn't going anywhere and he's on the recruiting trail for the Tide. Saban has said in the past he's too old to start over.


Hmmmmm......

December 7 1941 japan was in Washington DC saying there would be peace between our two countries and the rest is history. So I say "you can't always believe what you here". My friends y'all have a great weekend.

I've never believed Saban was coming but your antics have jumped the shark. There are no NCAA bylaws regulating boosters talking to/offering incentives to other coaches. It happens all the time.

If you knew what you were talking about, you'd be glad to offer a link.

I'll help you out. Go here:

You're right both the contract and the NCAA bylaws governing the employment of athletics personnel are readily available and are pretty straightforward. Question...did you actually read them? If so, you might want to go back over both before you use either to back up your argument. I'll make it easy for you...look at Section 5.01(i) and Section 6.01 of Saban's contract then take a look at Article 11.3 of the NCAA Bylaws.

 

[chippywad]

update on OBs, things don't sound good, seems there could be a press release coming soon from Bama

 

[tshirtfan12]

I don't know if Saban is coming or not but I tend to think he is not coming. I do have a question regarding Mack. Since he is a state employee if he is fired/retired isn't there a waiting period for the position to be open before anyone can be hired?

 

[theknighttrain]

I'm heading over to Far West Liquors to stock up for the weekend, to inebriate enough to ignore the smoke until after the game Saturday, and Sunday's probable announcement.

The reason this is so funny is because you are being absolutely serious.

Saban may or may not coach at UT but what you posted is absurd. You have to be a stalking horse for Bellmont to believe that. It's right out of Mack's 'Win with Integrity" bullshit playbook.

Absurd??you believing stuff that has no credibility and from 3rd hand sources is whats laughable and absurd. To think that we would allow booster to jeopardize our school for any coach is pretty asinine. all you do is spout rumors as if they were truth. you shouldve learned about rumors when you were in grade school. Im pretty sure our AD would go about this process the correct and legal way. but hey, think what you wish, you are allowed to believe anything someone says even if its a straight up lie.

 

[Baghorn]

Yes. He is not going to screw Alabama on the way out and he certainly cant tell a kid if he really is coming here.

Hell, Mack Brown promised his North Carolina players he wasn't going anywhere just a couple of days before being publicly introduced as the new Texas coach. Nick Saban personally promised Leanne Tuhoy in "The Blind Side" (book...not movie) he wasn't leaving LSU just days before accepting the Miami job. This sort of stuff is SoP for coaches making a move.

orangeman, boy do you know how to pick your battles. I'm pretty sure you have no idea who you are arguing with here. BS is not only a highly respected attorney who actually knows what he's talking about when discussing contracts....but he's also extremely well connected in the Longhorn world. You on the other hand are neither of those things based on your comments...but you are well versed in the art of throwing up all over threads based on your posting history here.
