Saban to Texas nearly complete

[Vito Corleone]

This makes up for them taking Bear Bryant away from A&M, amirite

We took care of that by pounding Bear's ass every time we faced him.

These rumors are out of control. I have no idea why he would commit to Texas prior to the Bowl game. That's a great disservice to the fans, players and coaching staff alike. He'll leave the empire he created in Alabama to start all over in Texas. His contract with Texas would have to rival that of the top NFL coaches to get him to leave the SEC.

It's just the nature of the business.

Most coaches leave before their team's bowl to get recruiting situated before National Signing Day.

Who's the "Great QB" you could have next year?

I don't know if he'll be "great", but I'd keep an eye on Jacob Coker of Florida State as a transfer candidate if Saban signs.

He's originally from Mobile, so it may come down to him wanting to play for Saban at UT or his home state school.

"I guess I have to say it. I'm not going to be the Alabama coach."
- Saban, 2006

''I'm very happy to be the coach here. We're looking forward to the challenges of making LSU a dominant program in the future.''
- Saban, 2004

"I'm not negotiating with LSU, they only reached out."
- Saban, 1999

He never said the I am not negotiating with LSU quote, someone recently made that up, the 2004 quote was in response to his interview with the Chicago Bears. He admits the first quote was a mistake, but really only 1 denial and he isn't saying anything now so not sure your point.

What's the point of quoting him anyway? Obviously his words don't mean , everything he says is PR driven.
