I think it's just Texas boosters trying to save face and maintain their enormous egos.
I don't get that argument. I mean, I get the braggadocio bit -- "Hey, we have lots of money!" -- but the other part makes no sense. Why on earth would they make up a claim that demonstrated that they tried to throw all that money at someone and he still told them to go frick themselves? What's the benefit of bragging about how you can't even lure a coach to your program with $100 million? The only conclusion that leads to is that your program has fallen so far that one-tenth of a billion dollars isn't enough to get who you want. It's like bragging that the head cheerleader turned you down for the prom despite you offering to buy her a new Maserati if she'd go. It just makes you seem like you must be really repulsive.

Exactly. Maybe something Bama boosters would brag about but not UTA boosters

I'm guessing you've never had the pleasure of having a conversation with a Texas oil man.

meh - he didn't need the money. he is set there, and has a good thing going at Bama - plus he had nothing to prove by taking the Texas job.

Bama will be on probation soon enuff and he'll retire. The alabama science department will be sure to get a sample of his DNA. They will of course merge it with Bear Bryants. Then in future, when cloning is leagalized...the rammer jammers will be set with coaches till the fire rain starts to fall

quote:Exactly! Why boast about offering un-Godly amounts of money to Saban and still pissed on it to stay at Alabama? If Austin is such a great place to live, scads of $$$ to be made, talent coming out the arse, facilities second to none, etc, etc. Then why the hell wouldn't Saban back the truck up to the oil rig and start pumping immediately?

Makes Texas look even more repulsive that you can't get a guy to coach there even if you offer him any amount of money.
