re: Bill Powers on why Saban didn't go to U.Texas

Riiiiight. Texas' ego won't allow them to admit they aren't nearly as attractive of a program as they once were, so this clown has to throw allegations. He's like the loser who the pretty girl was polite to but never wanted to date, so now he's trying to say he never wanted to date her any way b/c of her reputation (which isn't bad).

Take a deep breath. I highly doubt that Bill Powers looked this guy from the local paper in the eye and said Saban was a cheater. At best, this is 3rd hand info. There were probably more degrees of separation than that.

We know some big-$ Texas boosters were making serious overtures to Saban's agent. No way that happens if the university leadership thinks Saban is a liability in terms of NCAA exposure.

This really sounds like some garbage talk from a disgruntled booster (who was upset because the hiring of Strong was an embarrassment), so he told someone who told this reporter that Powers never offered because he thought Saban was a cheater.
