quote:I think he won't leave because he's put down roots here. Especially since the tornado he is very connected to the community. His kids attend the school. His wife loves it. He's like 63 years old. And really no one can give him a better opportunity.
but are you really naive too think Saban world never leave Alabama because it's it's "Alabama"?
Texas may have more money and better recruiting. But if you factor everything about a program: winning tradition, money, recruiting, conference alignment, fan base, dedication to the football program, etc etc etc there is no OVERALL better job than Alabama. None.
In summation, He's already winning championships and recruiting better than anyone in the country. He likes it here. He's sixty-something years old. It's very unlikely he leaves. And if you think it's likely you haven't been paying attention

You forgot to add that his son and daughter-in-law will be having a baby girl in Tuscaloosa in December. I doubt Mrs. Terry would allow him to move right after their granddaughter is born even if he wanted to (which he doesn't...could have had the Texas job twice now and didn't take it).
LSU fans seem to think he has the same mentality at 62 and after 7 years at Bama (his longest tenure anywhere) as he did at 53 when he left LSU. He doesn't.
