I'm hearing that he will be announced as the new DC at Warshington. Expect the announcement of Chip Keely as OC to follow shortly thereafter.

Pete Carroll to coach DB's

"...best coaching staff in america!"

How does that Bannon guy always have the scoop?
-
unlike IrishDawg he has the outside world pretty dialed in.
-
Not going to believe it until he announces "I'm not going to Texas."

Travis B. Hawkes and Race go way back.CollegeDoog said:How does that Bannon guy always have the scoop?

Doesn't anybody recall Saban's flat denial he was leaving the Dolphins for Alabama? Right before he left the Dolphins for Alabama, that is. If I were him I'd jump. Sixth Street in Austin is too hard to pass up.

Just watch the 60 minutes piece on him and let us know if you still feel the same.RaccoonHarry said:Doesn't anybody recall Saban's flat denial he was leaving the Dolphins for Alabama?

Saw it. And I'm not buying he wouldn't leave Bama for a final challenge. If he were younger he'd do it in a heartbeat. Age might be the real determining factor if he stays.

I don't buy that argument. Look at how quickly he turned Bama around. I see no reason why he couldn't do the same at Texas. Also, resurrecting two storied programs would pretty much cement him as the greatest college football coach of all time, and put him into the conversation for greatest coach in any sport at any level.RaccoonHarry said:Saw it.

He's done two already. Texas would be #3. His rebuild of LSU was a bigger challenge than what he had to deal with when he took over Alabama.jmc84 said:

And IF he goes to Texas he'd make an immediate difference. He IS that good.Purple_Pills said:

You have no idea of the damage Gerry DiNardo did to that program.

Turning around Texas in the Big12...
or maintaining Alabama ... where a 11-1 season is considered a failure. -
Obviously nobody knows anything 100% for certain here, but I'd still put the odds on him leaving UA for UT at about 1:20. If anything, I'd say that the Houston Texans have a better chance at him. I also doubt that you could pay Saban any amount of money that would get him to take on the UT media obligations. Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Saban and Sexton weren't just trolling Auburn to steal their spotlight.

I dunno, this just doesn't seem like a good hire.
Sure, Saban won a lot of games beating up on the SEC, but what does he know about the season long game-in, game-out grind at in the Big12.
Texas went 8-4 this year, and has peaked in this modern day of CFB. There's just no way that Saban wins more than 7-8 games each year.
Saban recruits a different type of player than what you can recruit at Texas. No one can win that conference with those type of players.
Saban doesn't know how to handle the big-time press at a major school. He doesn't have what it takes to succeed there.
I'd take Couch Mike Leach (I like to say CML) any day, over Saban.

I'm hearing that Saban hates Alabama's fans, hth.
