Oh, man - UT needs to grind that game down or they will get run out of San Antonio. On the bright side, maybe Case can get in a little more hotel sexy time watching again. DD
If Saban happens then I hope no one feels bad for "duped" Tide fans. Saban has done this so many times.
Random rumors I have heard today: The top 3 coaching candidates are: 1. Nick Saban 2. Jim Harbaugh 3. Jimbo Fisher Mack Brown’s future at Texas after 16 successful seasons remains in limbo, but I wouldn’t look for him to stay unemployed long if he chooses to step down but continue coaching elsewhere. Joe Jamail, his trusted friend and attorney, told me he received “a feeler from a major, major university to see if Mack was interested.” When I asked Jamail if that was USC before it hired Steve Sarkisian, he said, “I can’t tell you. They called me in complete confidence.” Other big-name schools have come after Mack regularly. I think Nebraska would be crazy not to consider Brown if it lets Bo Pelini go. … Jamail also spoke to Brown at length Saturday night. “Mack said he was proud of our boys,” Jamail said. “You can’t win without a good quarterback, and we don’t have one.”" Mack to Nebraska?!
This is stupid. #2 and #3 aren't even going to be able to talk to until January at the earliest. If we're replacing Mack Brown, it's going to happen well before that. It's like people just throw out the biggest name they can and hope it will stick. Malzahn, who was a legitimate possibility, is off the table for the same reason.
You're not supposed to be gloating about pulling a guy from Baylor and Tech. What's happened to Texas? At least act like you're still the big dick, that's what TAMU does. Jimbo Fisher cant go to UT. That wouldn't even be right. He's stuck at FSU for life or until he's fired, whichever comes first. The NFL is his only acceptable way out. He doesn't want the NFL.
Latest reports from "insiders" is that Jim is who Texas is after. I usually put some stock into what the 247 guys are saying (they released the above list, and they're usually a little more thorough in confirming and following up on news than the other insider sites), but I don't buy this. I think there's massive misinformation out there right now. I think there is a very, very select few people that know what the hell is going on.
I think you're the only one who read that as anything more than just reporting. Well...probably you and bigtex
I was posting it as news; I was not posting it as some kind of conviviality that symbolizes the prodigiousness of UT.
2PM tweet from Kentucky DT recruit, Matt Elam: http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2013/12/nick_sabans_latest_stop_on_the.html Then at 3:27P, this netjets flight left Louisville for Austin: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/EJA947
This plane tracking **** is about as accurate as Reddit's attempts to catch the boston marathon bombers.
latest rumor floating around my office: saban just closed on a $7M in Ausitn. [itshappeninggifgoeshere]
