Cannot tell you how badly I want Saban to be a Longhorn.

Malzahn staff would absolute clean up, too.

Fredi says that Black Jesus is the lead off hitter.

El Oso Blanco is the regular catcher.

If Texas decides that's who they have to get, I think they'll make him a Godfather offer and he'll leave Tuscaloosa in the dust.

But I think they'll find someone else. JMO. Malzahn or Briles comes to mind. Maybe Les Miles. Could you imagine Les Miles with, essentially, his own cable network? (Not that it gets into THAT many homes.)

Miles would work in Texas. So would Briles although he just signed a contract extension.

Possibilities:

1. Money.

2. Austin vs Tuscaloosa

3. Easier path to the playoff

4. Easier recruiting

The last one is what makes it the perfect retirement job. Saban might be able to pull a top 2 or 3 class every year without leaving Austin.

I don't think he's going anywhere, but I wouldn't be surprised to see his salary double.

Texas isn't the best job in the country. It isn't even the best job in Texas anymore. This will come down to where mrs Saban wants to live, and how much mr Saban cares about where mrs Saban wants to live.

I know we discussed soccer earlier, and it's kind of a footnote to the Mack Brown story, but if anyone has Fox Sports 2, check it out for a minute. Galatasaray and Juventus are playing their Champions League match in a pretty vicious looking hail storm.

Perhaps not, on both accounts. But it easily could be the best/easiest job in the country, and they don't even need a "name" coach like Saban to do it.

Texas has the richest boosters in the country, the best/easiest recruiting situation in the country, a great city to live in, and a conference that should provide it with an easy path to the playoff. They've only had five different coaches since the 1950s. Those are the criteria that coaches are supposed to care about, and Texas is right at the top on all of them. If it's not the #1 job in the country then it's damn close. The only negative is all the media stuff that Mack Brown was supposedly required to do as part of the Longhorn Network, and I'd imagine that somebody like Saban could make most of that disappear as a condition of taking the job.

The idea that A&M is a better job now is just silly.
