I talked with my Longhorn buddy this morning, more to needle him about the possibility of them playing aTm in the Cotton Bowl than anything else. He told me that Texas message boards are loaded with speculation that Mack will announce his retirement at the end of the season, and that this is comong from usually well informed folks. If this comes to pass, some want to throw huge bucks at Muschamp in the hopes of getting him back to Austin. the coaching searches are already pretty lively. Mack stepping down would put a very big plum out there for an aspiring coach.
 
Part of me would love to see Texas A&M and Texas in the Cotton Bowl - I'd like to see what Texas's soft ass defense would do against Texas A&M. Another part of me thinks this is a bad idea - Texas could lose again tomorrow night putting them at 4 L's for the season, no way in hell should a 4 loss team be playing a 2 loss team.

This article is a good read on Muschamp and what he's done at Florida around conditioning. His attitude would do lots for Texas...they should swing hard for a HC, little brother is about to start giving them a run for their money in recruiting...

You got this via text...but I'm mentioning it here anyway.

TX has not lost a game on the road this year. My sheet has the game at KSU -10.5. I'm likely to take TX to cover. It's in the maybe pile...
 
Snyder has a great record versus Texas. The line does seem a bit high, but the Snyder/Brown factor makes me reluctant.

My favorite so far is FSU -14 v G Tech. The only pause I have about this is Stoops leaving and rumors of the OC leaving as well might put an air of uncertainty on FSU. My thought is that even an uncertain FSU should cover.

I saw one of my UT work buddies yesterday and he was talking about Mack being out at Texas and Saban going to Texas. He was as serious as he could be too. I just told him that he should watch what he says because we still do on the job random drug testing and he could be moved to the front of the line.


I don't see Saban leaving Bama for anything, especially another college job. He is not a spring chicken anymore and if his desire is to keep winning championships, why go somewhere else to start the "process" all over.

Am I off base here??

Maybe about his drug use...some still choose to believe he'll leave for another job—sober.
 
What worries me about Saban is his emphasis on "process." His process is to build championship teams, and once he achieves that goal the question is: does he become restless? It is rumored that Alexander the Great weeped when he ran out of nations to spank. With all the recent firings in football-land it's evident that our Alexander has yet to face that problem. Is he casting a wishful eye?

Saban isn't going anywhere. He has said several times that Alabama is his last stop. Hence the contract extension.

The process isn't ever complete and he is every year building championship teams, so I don't think he is or will become restless.

Wake up and smell the wonderful aura that the BAMA nation history has. There is not another job in college football that will be anywhere equal to BAMA. (If you want to go north Meechigan and live in the cold, it could be a program that would seem to be on the same level) Tehass just doesn't have the resume to equal BAMA. I can't think of any coach that has left BAMA and accomplished any thing other than sit on the porch and bark.
 
Texas very rarely has lived up to it's preseason rankings, especially under Brown. They accumulated the vast majority of their wins playing the schools of the old SWC where they only had to worry about OK.
 
If he quit minutes after the ND game, I'd have no problems with it. We are playing the 3rd BCSNC in 4 years. We are 1 quarter away (2008 SECCG) from playing the 4th BCSNC in 5 years. We are in the midst of a stretch of football that EVERYONE said would never happen again.

He's earned every penny, and if he decides to leave, so be it.
 
One thing everyone needs to remember is that Texas is not a better job than Alabama. Heck, it's not even better than UF. For Muschamp or even Saban, it's a lateral move. It doesn't get any better than Alabama, or Florida or Texas. Saban to Texas is laughably absurd. For Texas people to think Saban would go from here to there shows they dont know very much outside of their own school.

Yes, Texas is a premier program and a destination job, but not any more than Alabama or Florida. To think otherwise is myopic and insular.

My opinion, Florida isn't on the level of Texas. Florida has only been in the mix for the last 20+ years...Texas on the other hand has a much deeper history. I would never compare Texas to Florida, let alone Florida to Alabama :)
