i said i wouldn't post in this thread, but i just can't help myself.The question is -- WHO is her recruiting FOR? lol
Ga Dawgs 247 guyOk. I will bite....who is Rusty Mansell?
I'm pretty much with BnB on this. It'll happen when and how it happens and there's nothing I can do about it...
I can see why Texas would be appealing to Coach Saban.I'm a nobody and don't have any connections, but I just don't see any reason why Saban would leave for UT.
*sigh*Let us not forget this has happened before...Saban was at Michigan State when the AD showed up at his house to talk about his contract and Miss Terri was in Baton Rouge talking to LSU on nicks behalf...the flight was from. Ttown to Austin...

I totally disagree. My son lives there in Austin and he says the Horn fans are insufferable now. They will expect him to win one next year. They think the players they have now are championship caliber. We all know it takes a few year to separate the wheat from the chaff even for Saban. They don't see themselves as one of the premier programs in the country, they see themselves as THE premier program in the country. UT fans believe their money puts them above everyone else in college football.As much as folks say "oh if you think Bama fans are bad wait till you deal with Texas' " this is not a compelling argument. Texas has won 1 national championship in over thirty years. I think Texas fans would be more than patient with Saban and give him 4-5 years to win one. They've given Mack Brown a decade and he only has one. Saban would have less pressure in Austin than Tuscaloosa.
i was in TX a few weeks ago for a conference and it seems like you can't go 5 minutes without being told how this thing or that is the "biggest or "largest" or "oldest" or simply "best." it seems texans have a very big opinion of themselves.I totaly disagree.

At 62 years old starting over and getting back to the top is going to be a tough, tough thing to do.I totaly disagree. My son lives there in Austin and he says the Horn fans are insufferable now.

7 years makes a difference - Huge difference between 55 and 62. And he's beginning to show his age, even though he is still a youthful 62.At 62 years old starting over and getting back to the top is going to be a tough, tough thing to do.
