Can't believe this hasn't been posted yet. Multiple sources reporting that Saban's agent told Texas officials in January that Texas is the only destination Saban would leave 'Bama for. Very interesting.

Re: Brown, who will be paid $5.4 million this year, won the 2005 national title and lost to Saban's Alabama team in the 2010 championship game.
and
But as long at the Saban-to-Texas rumors are out there in the ether, Sexton has leverage to get his clients massive raises. The chancellor of UA, Dr. Robert Witt, called Saban's $5.5 million yearly salary "the best financial investment this university has ever made" in a 60 Minutes feature that aired this past Sunday, and the Crimson Tide would certainly match or top any offer UT could put on the table.

Could Saban become the first $10 million-a-year man in college football?

I would say that the answer is YES

I like the comments attached to that article. They start off well enough, then quickly devolves into college town smack talk. The gator fan one ups everyone when he complains about the hippies and gays being numerous in Gainesville. I assume every gator fan on the internet is gatorubet.

The first couple of Alabama football may be standing on top of the world, but it isn't necessarily thrilled by the view. "You come to a crossroads and the expectations get so great, people get spoiled by success and there gets to be a lack of appreciation," Terry Saban said in an interview last week. "We're kind of there now."
On its face, this statement is hard to believe. With a salary of $5.4 million, Nick Saban is, afterall, the nation's highest-paid college football coach. But there are some signs of dynastic ennui at Alabama. Empty seats have been an issue at Bryant-Denny Stadium, especially among students. Just last week, the school had to set up a promotion to sell tickets to the Chattanooga game.
Recent media reports have suggested Saban may be interested in coaching at Texas if that job comes available. Some reports said Terry Saban had been house hunting in Austin. Asked if the report was accurate, Terry Saban called them "rumors with absolutely no foundation."
"We're staying," she said. "We're not going anywhere."

Saban seriously needs to regulate his wench. For christ's hokeing sake, he gets paid 5.4 million dollars a year to do something--coach football--that the vast majority of people in his profession get paid 60 grand to do......AND they have to go through the motions of teaching driver's ed or phys ed on top of it.

Shut up and spend your husband's god damned money on gaudy jewelry, blonde dye, botox treatments or whatever else you can think of. Just realize that nobody is paying your husband for you to think. The crap I dropped this morning had more astute observations on the world than your trophy wife ass.

Why would you leave a conference that doesn't poke its nose into anybodys business? Why would you leave a school with few academic aspirations, for a public Ivy? Of course, as long as you're in the SEC you'll have to contend with at least three programs that can beat you, whereas, if Texas got serious, the only program to fear would be Oklahoma.

10M a year? Then A&M will demand the right to pay someone 10M. Then
Rick Perry will get involved. Then Texas Tech will want the money to be competitive. Then Baylor will want public subsidies.

10M a year may just be the straw that breaks the camel's back. At some point there's going to be a prolonged backlash from tax payers and academicians.
