This is actually par for the course for the University of Texas, and shame on Finebaum if he got sucked in to their propaganda.

Texas loves to boast about how they are better than anyone else and how everyone wants to come to them and how much money they have.

If there was negotiation, Saban turned it down. Since it never happened, Texas can now boast that they had $100 Million to give. Why would they do this? Becuase they want everyone to know that they have $100 Million to spend and you don't.

There is nothing more asinine than Saban rumors. If I had a dollar for every story I am told here in Louisiana from some crackpot LSU fan with some long convoluted tale about how Saban desparately wants to come back to Baton Rouge but just couldn't because of (a) some issue with his Alabama contract, or (b) its too hard to fire Miles, or (c) threats from the Tuscaloosa Mafia, or any number of other stupid excuses, I would have $100 Million to give to a football coach.

It has been stated before but why would Texas leak this? It makes them look horrible that even $100 million couldn't bring a coach in. How much more could they offer to get a legit coach? They settled for their like 5th choice. The situation is so bad it would take more than 1/10 of a billion dollars to have a respected coach go in as fix it. That's embarrassing.

You broke the code. Nicely written and 100% true. It's not fair that I can only give this 1 upvote.
