    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.

    What would be more fun? I vote turning around Texas.

    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.

    Either way, it'll be interesting.
