Why would they be replaced if they win games?

If he leaves, Bama will probably go back to what it was(shite). Saban at Texas kinda scares me. They have a lot of money and recruiting talent. And by recruiting talent I mean Austin is fricking awesome and full of beautiful women, compared to the mobile home eutopia that is Tuscaloosa. Why wouldn't anyone want to go to Texas or Miami or USC. I'm kind of grateful that those teams have been off lately because if they get really good coaches it could seriously never stop if a coach decided to stay. sigh I rant!
Observe Louisiana before denigrating another state.

While true, UT boosters have that "i get what I want mindset" that's partly why I think Saban is a bad fit for UT. At UA he gets what he wants because winning is all that matters, at UT you better win and give certain boosters the access they demand and not be rude to them. I don't think Saban is capable of being humble, which is a bad combo at UT.
I may be wrong but I just don't see it happening. That said UT is more than willing to pay for Saban. With the longhorn network and other merchandise it would make sound financial sense for them to get him and pay him a ton. I don't think UA would match 10 mil per year and 5 mil for assistants, that was mentioned last year by a particular UT boosters.

Insulting Alabama fans is just too easy. I mean, you don't even have to try.

Ironically, if Texas outbids Alabama for Saban, it probably won't be because they want him more, but to show everyone that money's no problem for Texas. They relish throwing money around more then they do winning national championships. In other words, it'd be all about making an example out of Alabama.

The only thing I can add to this statement is that smoked beef bologna is better than both brisket and pork. Also I prefer pork ribs over beef ribs. However brisket is the tits and so is a pork shoulder. Also brisket is WAY harder to master than pork and I wish I could cook it like some of those guys in Texas.

Well folks, I mentioned this shortly after it happened but most doubted my comments. They were made on the Coach's Forum or something like that.
Here's the deal - Saban did agree in principle. The boosters then went to Mack to convince him to resign. It didn't work - it was NOT a cordial conversation. Deloss & the Admin were left completely out. Of course, with the Regents on board, Deloss was left somewhat neutered concerning the matter. But Saban was ready to make the deal. It is a fact.
Wallace Hall is in no position to make the same offer today since he is being impeached for failing to reveal all of his business dealing to the State senate during his confirmation hearings. But idea of hiring Sabin has more inertia today than before. Now that this is out in the open, however, with both Mack & Sabin both being subject to comment on this story, I think it lessens the chances that Sabin will make the move. He will be offered before anyone else.

If all this crap is true and it appears that Nick Saban will consider the effing longhorns, he may be the first coach in NCAA history to be paid by a University Athletic Department other than the one with whom he is employed, in exchange for an agreement to stay employed with said University Athletic Department or to NOT take another position.

And it may be heresy to say this -- probably is, in fact, so I'll watch for lightning -- but even Saban isn't guaranteed to be a runaway success at Texas. He's damned good, but nobody's perfect. Think of all the coaches that seemed like they couldn't miss...and then did. That's an awful lot of money to be throwing at someone who needs to rebuild the program, recruit for his style, then deal with the vagaries of chance and fortune to develop Texas into a perennial national title team. And you know that's exactly what the boosters are looking for. They're not going after Saban for 10 win seasons every year. They had that with Mack. They're telling themselves "Bama just won 3 out of 4 national titles. Why not us?"
Eh. I don't see Saban going into a better situation there anyway. They're rich, but they're not on a different level from Bama in the sense that they can completely outpace the resources Bama is willing to offer for football. And recruiting...Texas has talent. But the geographic region of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana pretty much gives Saban an equal, if not actually much better, crop to pick from. If I had to choose one of these two recruiting grounds, I'd pick the latter every day and twice on Sundays even with the local competition for recruits.

The question is will Texas (boosters) agree to pay their players like bama does to assure saban has the talent he needs...

You miss the point. The boosters who have access to Mack now are on the outside looking in. They are few and getting fewer. Joe Jamail is the lone big dog. The people who want to hire Sabin want to win - access isn't the priority. If this deal happens, it will be because of a culture change and complete overhaul in the AD. I have doubts that it will happen for a number of reasons. I just don't believe that UT wants to be the first school to pay a coach $10 mil per year.

I can see it now.
Saban goes to Texas and then keeps trying to raid Lousiana for recruits. He can do it even moreso now because he is right next door.
LSU fans are all at first. Then, they are all then they realize that he will shut down Texas and STILL try to come into Louisiana and they are all 
while a whole bunch of guys are 
Meanwhile, Alabama hires someone very good and they stay strong while Texas AND Texas A&M become a power on LSU Western border.
LSU fans need to hope that Saban stays at Alabama. Seriously. Think about what you are hoping for when it comes to recruiting.

I think Texas has a lot more to offer and that they'll get Saban, if he has any real interest.
From Saban's view, I think he'll approach it more as a form of early retirement. Alabama was easy to recruit, but Texas doesn't require recruiting, so he can just sit back and enjoy himself for 10 years, like Mack did.
