Mack is gone, and he ain't coming back until he replaces Sumlin at Aggy...

I want Nick Saban coaching the Horns. Anyone else is just as big of a gamble as keeping Mack.
Show me the proof.
Chip "God of Orangebloods" Brown has reported it. As such, this qualifies as Mack's de facto resignation.

Chip is so ing smug; gotta love him.
Same guy that said "ZERO chance Texas A&M goes to the SEC"
I do think Mack is likely gone, but Saban isn't going to Texas.
You're an idiot.
It's ok Aggy. Just relax, it'll be over soon.
I have little doubt that Mack is gone. When and how is whole different matter, not to mention who will succeed him. Could it be Saban? Sure. But all people are doing is speculating at this point. Period. Lots of "sources" and "maybes" don't amount to .
From everything I've read, it sounds like a final decision will be made when the UT board meets on Friday. That's when an announcement will happen.
Then, almost 100% of the time when schools go through a coaching change, there will be some kind of committee formed to execute a coaching search. I just don't buy that it's going to be a quick turnaround. I wouldn't even be surprised if both Mack and Saban (if he's the replacement) coach in their respective bowl games. It's not like UT is hurting for recruits like most other schools would be if put in the same scenario.
I'm confused. You said he would step down today. He hasn't. The "insiders" were wrong. You can move the goalposts if you like, but your assertion was never "he's out as coach but will continue to recruit while both he and the board deny that he's made a decision about stepping down."

The other thing I want to stress is that it's probably not about the money. If Saban leaves, it's most likely because his wife is sick of Tuscalooser and he wants a new challenge. (Or the possibility of sanctions)
Bama could pay 10 million, no question, and I also think that a conservative school such as Bama would have more willingness to pay that crazy amount than a liberal school like UT would. Seems to me that there would be a massive uproar if the Horns paid 10 million ing bucks to a football coach.
He belongs at A&M.

Knowing full well that any numbers I throw out will aid and abet the enemy, I will say the minimum. Again, full disclosure, I'm reporting a story that seems to be taking on a life of it's own but I feel it's important to post now so this website is credited for the work. To that end, I'll also be posting my real iden y tomorrow and I will email all subsequent stories to the various media outlets including but not limited to ESPN, CBS Sports, etc.
Here's what I got.
In talking to various sources plugged into the Alabama and Texas sides, it seems Nick Saban is roughly $20 million in the hole due to investments with LSU and Alabama alums. These investments are predominantly in the commercial real estate space. For his trouble, Nick Saban is not a happy camper with these two alumni bases and has a hole in his retirement plan that Mark Ingram could run through. Additionally, I'm told Texas and the Longhorn Foundation have "passed the hat" to provide a dollar amount up front that nearly makes Nick Saban whole after these defunct investments. Call it the Lamarr Houston/Roy Miller investment strategy. The mechanism used to fund this "bonus" will be off the books in order to make the total compensation package more politically palatable when it's officially announced. Texas does not want to be perceived as the Yankees and again, I don't want to help negotiations with enemy.
As far as conventional compensation, look for the number to be right around eight million a year for six years with a two-year option. This structure makes it more acceptable to the BOR and the academics in the school. Don't tell them how much the athletic department contributes to the general fund because they won't listen. Just know that the football men understand how the perception game is played.
Trust me, I understand that there's always a counter offer in these deals, but I'm told that the Bama president does not want to get in a bidding war against Texas because she doesn't want it to seem like Bama is a semi-pro team. Again, this is the academic's mindset at work. She's, after all, Bill Powers' peer or at least is attempting to be. Add this item to the fact that Bama's Athletic Director Bill Battle has gotten sideways with Saban, and it doesn't bode well for the Tide. One final piece is Chancellor Witt.
Dr. Witt is the only ally that Saban has at the administrative level at Bama and he happens to be a Texas guy. Yes, Dr. Witt has a soft spot in his heart for Texas, and has told folks close to the Texas AD that he thinks Saban is headed to Austin.
If Saban is announced as the Texas head football coach in the next few days, fans will be in line to enjoy an historic change in culture and football operations in general.
Like you, I will enjoy the process.
In other words, I will look forward to Nick Saban's process.
Oh boy!
So your idea of a put down is an imaginary scenario in which you pretend A&M would hire your pathetic (real) coach? Is Michael Jordan ClipperNation's sock? I have trouble believing there are two people this stupid on the forum, and they're always laughing at each other's lame 'jokes'.
