According to CBS Sports, Texas is ready to 'break the bank' for CNS if Charlie Strong peaces out.

I love that some Texas fans still believe in and cling to this hope ..

Whatever happened to Old Timer from TX? Sure would love to hear his perspective :eyeroll:

I think he is still nursing his wounds. As I recall we didn't cut him much slack.

From Gio and Jones:

“It’s come to me that someone in his camp may or may not have reached out to Miami prior to the Oklahoma game when Charlie was really feeling it,” Jones said. “Since that ball game, he’s feeling it again, the heat. But there are a number of layers to this one. One, prior to the Oklahoma game once again, someone in his camp may have reached out to Miami to see if there’s an interest. Two, Charlie was undercut by his former athletic director. It’s well reported about Steve Patterson, the things he did. He was nickel-and-diming the program, he wasn’t paying quality assistant coaches what they deserved. So Charlie is still a little perturbed about that. Additionally, Coach Strong and his staff haven’t really endeared themselves to the Texas high school coaches and it was pretty much a slap in the face when they said a year ago we’re going to go to Florida and do the bulk of our recruiting.”

If Strong is fired or resigns? Yes, the Longhorns will make a call to Tuscaloosa.

“There will be another run at Mr. Saban,” Jones said. “They will break the bank. Whatever it takes.”
 
The BOT and the power structure at Texas is the primary reason Nick Saban will not be their coach, ever. He will not surrender total control of the premiere program in college football to go to a has-been program with a bunch of soft-handed bureaucrats calling all the shots. No matter how much the payday may be.
 
I was interested in taking the Hawaii job and any other posters that wanted to go but now I think I'll make the same offer and look hard at Texas. Saban stays at Bama IMO. The only move he would make is to go back to the NFL but that is iffy.
