re: Marshall tells Alabama "Don't even bother" - per Pat Forde

Sucks, but only the true Gumps weren't aware that nothing going to happen until the season was over, and Texas made a decision. So no big deal, not surprising, but still sucks.

And since we're ready to play top 5 type of money to a coach. It'll still be a pretty good hire at the moment. Of course, Grant was considered a home run at the time.
