This is for all the, "No way Saban is an option people!"

I dearly hope Saban is truly currently considering coming here to Texas. However, with him resigning with Alabama, and with him already denying the rumors, I just don't see it happening... I'd love to be wrong though. I hope we end up with Saban and an awesome team of assistants.
Seriously. What is so hard to understand? Do you guys expect Saban to say he's not coming here every single day? I wouldn't even say "UT fans" believe Saban is coming because really it's only this site that keeps bringing him up. Obviously you want more people to visit your website (and it's worked as I am here right now) so you throw names around like Saban and Harbaugh but neither are coming here. Saban signed an extension. It's over. Bring on Strong.
Skiing with the family where our internet access was barely existent as the regional provider kept suffering outages. I'm back now and ready for the main event...drinks are poured and the popcorn is ready. This should be a fun weekend.
Right now, I think there is an inverse relationship between the names trumpeted by the mainstream media including Orangebloods and where guys rank in the pecking order. This is the agents trumpeting their guy to get a raise from their current gig. The more you hear their name mentioned the lower they are in our stack ranking.
The deathly silence with Saban....then later Fisher...and then later still Harbaugh indicates both sides are content with where they stand in the discussion. That makes Saban, Fisher, and Harbaugh your likely top 3...in that order. If Strong has impressed as much as indicated he may have worked his way up as high as Harbaugh or just beneath him. I doubt this deal goes beyond the man who has the contract in front of him right now.

Apparently you ignore what the man has publicly stated.he isn't coming and hasn't been an option since black friday. It's time to move on. It's getting really old.

Im fine with you feeling that way. But why are you so concerned with others' perception. It's one thing to have conflicting info, but have none and act like we're all naive . . .
To correct some bad info here - this is not the only site saying Saban. IT and Jesus have not wavered in their stance that Saban is our next HC.
Here's the deal, there's a big difference in what people say at Press Conferences versus what they're actually thinking. Saban has never told us no at any point in this process. Nothing has changed as of today. He's been ready to come here for almost a year. The problems have all been on our end...primarily one Mack Brown. As of today, all the decks are finally cleared for him to come here on his terms and with all stipulations & conditions met. He's the guy with a contract sitting in front of him right now. Our guys driving this deal feel like he's coming.
I like our backup plan guys a lot but at this point I'll be beyond shocked if Nick Saban is not announced as our next head coach at some point in the next few days.

Do we want a coach that can't beat OU? You can lose half your games and beat OU and the fan base is content here.

Are you going to say no to the guy with 3 national titles on the wall in the last six years?
Besides, he beat OU when he was at LSU in a game that mattered.
