Also, kbohls@kbohls Texas prez Bill Powers, AD Steve Patterson to meet with Mack Brown late this afternoon
So I guess the only question is - does he go down easy or put up a fight?
Mack Brown and Bill powers are VERY good friends and there has been talk of possible collusion regarding Mack's salary. If Mack is gone, it is because Powers was told he will keep his job ONLY if he fires Mack...
I think so too - but I have a feeling Mack will feel very betrayed by Powers and could decide to make it as uncomfortable for Texas as he possibly can.
There's a warped sort of logic to it to.
So, we pull for Texas to go 10-2, beat Oklahoma, win the Big 12, and then win their BCS bowl game. Of course, I guess Mack could then retire.
I don't want to read too much into the decision to keep Powers, but you could be correct. I don't see someone like Powers just accepting an edict that he fire his best friend or get fired. He is very old. He has no reason to stay if they asked that of him. If he is staying then it could mean a few things. The ones that jump off the page are:
Fear? How would that be fearful for us? Just curious...
Recycle and repeat the same thing next year we have for the last 2-3
Gotcha. I would think if everything calms down and Coach Saban is wearing Crimson next year (as I believe he will), he would be even more likely to retire here.
Everything I have read claims that Sexton says Texas is the only place Saban would leave Alabama for. It's also one of the only schools I know of that could outbid Bama. I would be shocked if he ever seriously considered a return to the No Fun League. His MO doesn't fit in there. If he doesn't go now, I am exceptionally confident that he will retire at Alabama.
Just in an effort to follow this line of thinking:
Right, and the comments above were based on the on a fear that Mack brown could be back next year. If he was, we would deal with Saban to Ut again next year.
