Contract extension...

[TIDE-HSV]

Starting to hear that one is to be announced this week. If it turns out, watch the suicide rate in Texas country...

 

[TIDE-HSV]

OTOH, on one of their boards, the took the president's statement yesterday about HCs as proof positive that Saban was coming, so they'll see this the same way. Only people I've known to think like that, other than barners...

Are you talking about an extension for the best Coach in the country or an extension for Coach Brown?

Yep; living here (south of Houston), I've had a few UT alums tell me they think Saban in coming to Texas. Whenever I ask them to actually make a bet on it, most shy away. It's typical longhorn behavior here; they like to talk a lot, but most either shy away when you present facts or shy away when you want them to put their money where their mouth is.

They have been trying to stir the pot regarding Tex-as on local sports radio. If this gets Coach a raise as well as his staff raises, all to the good. I don't believe money is the motivator for himself but is an indicator of just how high he is thought of here.

Colin Cowherd reporting the same.

Here is what is really happening. Coach Saban was getting bored slapping the entire country around and winning all the time. And then we went to Opelika. Thanks to questionable reffing, a few mistakes, and yet another fluke play the Barn won the game and ended our run. What they probably don't realize is that they just became the red cape in front of and angry bull. Nick Loves a challenge and now he's got one. Saban is at his best when he is mad.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

What was the statement?

It was a denial that there was an opening or there had been contact with Saban. They parsed Power's statement word for word and found what they thought were holes. And, Al, an extension for Saban...

 

[Timberline Tide]

Yeah but there's no buyout clause and texas has more money than God, so they can throw enough dollars to get anyone they want

Texas used to be my 2nd favorite college team, UNTIL I moved to Texas! Those folks are sure arrogant!!! I sure wish we had had instant replay by officials in that game against the Longhorns when Namath actually scored.

Is Namath getting RICH off those Namath Steaks? Hopefully, he is getting lots of Longhorn $'s! I just saw some in a hardware store, Ace Hardware!

Rodney Orr reporting the extension has been agreed upon.

To this day, I have no idea WHY Texas is so arrogant. You'd think they'd have the most national championships or the winningest program in the NCAA...

TIDE-HSV: Might we then infer the following...

- UT sent feelers / distanced agents to Jimmy Sexton to discuss CNS coming to UTw.
- Jimmy Sexton engaged in talks and worked up a "deal".
- That "deal" was taken to UA administration, and UA countered with what we are about to see this week (maybe).
- That UTw "deal" is also why UT admin were "100% positive" that CNS was coming to UTw.

 

[Al A Bama]

With this DEAL, are the Barners fretting about the Gus Bus?

 

[TideEngineer08]

Yeah I was thinking Texas had moved on to Gustav.

 

[257WBY]

So nothing to the CNS to Boise rumor?

 

[Al A Bama]

Will Nuss get a call from Boise?

 

[formersoldier71]

Wow, a teaser and a rumor in one thread.


Don't hurt me, Earle.

:biggrin:
