This is a Bama shakedown for $ money and nothing else. Saban is 62 and has the cupboard loaded for multiple NC runs at Bama.
Good news for Bama... If you pay, he will stay.
Bad News for Bama.... It will cost Bama a mint. (10 million a year is not out of the question)

UA has pulled in a ton since Saban's arrival...a payraise is easily affordable. I'd be shocked if Saban doesn't retire from Alabama.

We can afford a raise.

Yeah, the guy is 62. What would be interesting to know is if admin for UT or for UA is believing any of this stuff.

UT could be on top as fast as Bama was and is about the only school that is almost a guarantee to rise up as quickly. Which would explain the interest in only them more than just wanting more money. If he enjoys building up the teams he can't be having fun at Bama right now. UT would be a new challenge and an opportunity to have a NC at 3 different schools. I don't know if he will leave but I think there is more to it than money.

Exactly what it is. Texas has money. Lots of it and cant spend it. Bama would fear no other program. Sexton has confirmed their fears and put them on notice. Sabathon is on...
Bama will pony up and Saban will stay.

I just think the "only Texas" part is an odd way to get the most money and not going out of your way to get it into the media when it happened to get the fans to push the schools. Seems more like the fact of coaching at UT, for whatever reason, would seem more likely. But we will see after this year. If he doesn't leave after the key players he is losing then he likely isn't at all.

When Saban and Sexton want to make a move(for a move sake) it is hush/hush. No one saw him coming to LSU. He denied Bama until he was announced. He broadcasted The Dolphins to get a bidding war going. (Dolphins for power and control).
I have seen this act before. If it is about money, it gets publicized. If it is about a new job. Sexton would have kept his mouth shut. Broadcasting it does he nor Saban or Texas for that matter any good.

1) Yes, Saban would dominate at Texas and restore them to elite in 2-4 years.
2) No, he's not going anywhere. He is retiring at Alabama.
3) If he left, the Alabama name-brand recruits itself at this point. Alabama is a powerhouse and will remain that way until they (again) get caught cheating and get hit with sanctions.

Anyone who thinks the sips wouldn't apply the same type of pressure or more on him is crazy. Heck they are already putting freaking unneccessary pressure on Saban and he isn't even there yet.

I believe the contract is if he wins another NC he gets $1 more than the highest paid coach. I think there are a few coaches that have this as well

I'm not sure why some of y'all are blowing your loads over the "Saban would consider no other job but Texas" line. Whether or not Saban is actually serious about going to Texas, of course Sexton is going to tell UT that he would consider it. How else is he going to get them to pitch a number so he can take it back to Bama and see if they will match or beat it?
TEXAS REP: Excuse me, Mr. Sexton, but we are considering offering your client an obscene sum of money to come coach at our school. You'd get a nice cut of it too, of course.
SEXTON: Nope! Not interested! Won't even listen! Don't even tell me the number because that's how not interested I am! LALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALA
That is an exchange that will never happen ever.
Now, all that said, I'll be the first to admit I don't have any clue what Saban is going to do. I don't know the man personally, like most on this board seem to do. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if he stays. I would be a little surprised if he were to leave, but not so surprised it would make my monocle pop out. Bama will be ok either way, although obviously I'd prefer that he stay.

Totally agree about an agent doing his job, and no doubt jimmy sexton is one of the best at it. But the part I found interesting was his comment about the "special pressure" Saban is feeling at bama. If the pressure is really getting to Saban, and he's looking at an unknown QB situation next season for the first time in a long time, then hmmmm....

First things first...first he gonna skull frick the LSU Tigers, Curb Stomp Mississippi State, B**** slap Chattanooga, Sing "We are the champions" at Jordan Hare, Win The SECCG in Atlanta, then lift up the crystal football in Pasadena.....
Then when Alabama gives him another 5 Million to sign again....Tide Fans wine and dine, the rest whine....next case
