Chips are falling

I absolutely believe it. If you are Texas, you have to go after #1. And to me, they have the resources to go BIG! If I were them, offer 10 million and offer a raise to every assistant they have. Think about this, Saban would have access to all Texas talent plus all the SEC talent he has always had. Top notch facilities and anything else he would want. He could make a dynasty there that would be leagues ahead of what Alabama is if he wants to.
But having something great now, who knows if he would leave that.

If he goes to Texas, they could become the best program in recent college football history. Imagine if they completely bowled in both endzones, they could seat 120,000-130,000.
 
Saban strikes me as the type of person who gets bored easily. As strange as it sounds, winning a championship every year at Alabama would get boring for him.

Makes total sense. He bailed on LSU after a damn national title. They have all the ability to be a dynasty that Alabama does. He bolted on the NFL when he wasn't even on the hot seat either.

I think the guy just enjoys a change of scenery and something new.

You think Tom Brady ever gets tired of banging Giselle? I bet he does.
 
Coaching matters. See: in front of your face.
Saban not only wins a national title at Texas....hell, he probably wins it his second year there.

He cheats though too.

Yeah, but with those pointy elbows, can you blame him?
 
No way he leaves Bama for Texas. All he has to do is go 1-1 against A&M and LSU to get to the SEC title game. Of course they'll be ranked in the top 5 as they win four weak non-con home games and the the other powers of the mighty SEC West like Kentucky, Vandy, Tenn., and the two Miss. schools. This is the beauty of their schedule. No Florida, Georgia or USC in the regular season.

Whereas, in the Big XII, he'd have to play all the teams in the conference. The top tier teams, the good teams, and even the bottom teams. He may make more money at Texas, however, because of the ease of their path to the SEC title game, he'll have a much easier route to the National Title game. Plus they pay their players better in the SEC.
 
If nothing else Texas can force Alabama to have to spend $4mil more a year and get nothing more for it.
 
I'm not sure if you've been paying attention to the college football world lately but they're starting the playoff system next year. If you think a one loss Texas is missing out on that I've got some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.

Sweet! Tell me more. How many feet of shoreline do you have?

You think Nick Saben is shaking about facing TCU, Oklahoma or Okie State?
 
I'm aware of the playoff system next year - that was considered in my post.

It all depends on how many undefeated and one loss teams there in the country.

With everyone so in love with the SEC, Ohio State, Oregon State, etc. - a one loss Texas could miss out to other one loss teams. The national media influences this and they are not impressed with Big 12 football right now.
If/when Texas ever gets back to national prominence, they will be a media darling again. An 11-1 Texas team will be a very strong pick for the playoffs, the media will get back on it's knees for Texas, especially ESPN.
 
If I was Texas I would have back stage passes and a lifetime pass to Austin City Limits as a bonus.
