re: Sexton talks about pressure

I love the "special pressure" part. Because the folks in Texas would be perfectly happy paying him a huge salary to NOT win national championships. He could just take it easy with no expectations to live up to...

This. They will expect him to win, and win big. Immediately. They will expect that highly paid sumbitch to deliver 3 out of four.

If it's pressure, he retires. Period.

As to "loyalty." Is Saban loyal? Hell no. But this is what matters to him now: legacy. He's said it. As of 7 years ago his legacy was shite. The longer he stays and wins at Bama, his legacy improves.

If he moves again, he hits the reset button.

The only explanation to move to Texas would be money. Every other move has been understood. All the way up to and through LSU to the Dolphins. Even the Bama move--he didn't like the NFL.

What's the reason to go to UT, other than money, at age 62, when you've built a powerhouse?

It wouldn't look good, and he would have no second chances.
