One of the reasons Bama was able to get Saban was that they were willing to throw the money at him AND they were so desperate that the boosters financing it were willing to give up their meddling rights. In 2007 there was a bit of the power struggle that still didn't want to give over control, and this is one of the reasons I never thought Saban would be interested in Texas. It'll be interesting to see if Arkansas does end up paying that, whether or not the politics will be tolerable.

Tennessee is probably going to be in that position next year.

Interesting. I guess the peeps putting up the money are the ones that want to call the shots, and that can cause some interesting power struggles when you got an administration set up in the University itself.
