I'll preface this by saying I don't think he's going anywhere, but....

The LHN is one reason I think it's possible. It has been a failure and led to the downfall of a once great conference with a lot of old money floating around (T. Boone, etc.)

Saban has a bit of an ego with a touch of narcissism. He cozys to the camera when he is in control of what is being said. I believe ESPN has a vested interest in the future direction of UTexas.

Saban is going to make his 8mil a year wherever he's at. But, that income is finite. If he were somehow able to barter a deal for a fraction of the network, everybody wins. Saban wins, school wins, conference wins, and mostly, the Network wins.

Saban needed a couple of years in Miami financially. He didn't leave BR well off. I may be way off here, but it's the only reason I can see him starting over, because he has definitely chilled out in regards to staff and everyone around him.

Oh, and the old white men boosters would be kissing Saban's arse collectively.

Now that's a new perspective I haven't heard before. You think they give the head coach a portion of the Longhorn Network?

I remember folks talking about a certain NFL team would give Saban part of the franchise if he'd move his arse up north and coach the team. How'd that turn out?
