fwiw, I don't believe any of this is happening. But I don't think there is ZERO chance like BAMA fans are proclaiming.
There are two things that make me believe that this story does have traction (but will ultimately end up dead because there's too much attention on the story)
1. How many times has an internet rumor popped up and then immediately died down? 98% of rumors, they usually have no legs. At the same time, when there's this much smoke, there's something to it. I'm not saying that it is a done deal, but I absolutely believe there is SOMETHING to it.
2. Sexton came out and said that Texas would be the only job he'd consider. Why would he say that? A professional agent like Sexton who has been in the business long enough to know how to work it doesn't just come out and say that because he's board. Again, there's SOMETHING to that. Was it to get a raise? To use the Texas job as leverage? Let's say Texas does offer him $12M+.......did he expect that when he was talking about it? Him just saying that out of the blue, unprovoked, doesn't make any sense.

They wont do that, but they could get Saban for less than that.

Can you post the direct quote from him? Not a Texas booster saying he said this. I'll wait.
