This post is just a bit, right?
tragically, there are horn fans / alums who still truly believe they almost had saban a few years back and it does mesh with the entitlement mindset

The only goos coaching move they made since Mack was Charlie Strong. Problem was that Strong did not have strong assistant coaches. For whatever reason, they just stunk.
Urban Meyer is the EXACT wrong move for UT. That entire program needs a cleanse, but the cleanse should start with the boosters. It’s the same problem Aggy has. Boosters are too strong and have too much sway.
I am not sure why Texas has waited so long to hire coach Saban away from Alabama. If you recall a few years back they almost did that deal. I mean everybody knows UT is every coaches dream job. UT is so rich and powerful they could make him take the job.
And big egos.This is a satirical post. UT entitled world view is delusional. The coaches they think they could buy would never take the job:
1.) The UT culture is mainly about money as their system is coin operated across the board. Boosters are completely in charge of UT that is how it has always been. The big donors truly have influence in athletic decisions.
2.) UT is delusional about their brand. They see their football program as an elite historic power. However their history does not compare to the other schools truly in that class. Schools like Alabama, Ohio State, even Nebraska and Miami have way more titles and accomplishments than UT. It’s not even close.
Yes UT has high number of total wins, however many of those go back to the days when they used their money to exploit the system. For example, before there were scholarship caps, they could buy up all the state’s talent .
The main theme of the UT culture is big money and that is about it.
Not saying or hinting or anticipating Saban's move to Austin, but sometimes a man's ego reaches beyond his financial desires.Going back to original post about UT going after Saban. Why would Saban who is financially taken care of as it is subject himself to the cruelty of the Boosters and fan expectations at UT? How much more millions does he want or need? Saban is settled where he is at in Tuscaloosa. To prone oneself in front of the UT alter and subject yourself to the weekly beating of that school is not realistic and will not happen.

Pulling a program from the jaws of ignominy to the spotlight of a national championship could be downright orgasmic for some egos.I’m not sure how going to an inferior brand would stroke his ego. Alabama: the cradle of coaching. Texas: Where they go to die.

My "source" tells me it was a done deal but Mack Brown convinced Steve Patterson he'd have no power and Saban/the alums would have it all.tragically, there are horn fans / alums who still truly believe they almost had saban a few years back and it does mesh with the entitlement mindset

Each week Urban's price tag goes up.
But if they go get Urban, he would be VERY successful in Austin. Outside of Urban/Saban/Dabo, there isn't really anyone that would be a guaranteed success with how much [ Cumbie’s red zone playcalling ] they have to put up with.
If it meant that they might win some football games? They would hire Satan hissownself. Hell, some of 'em wanted to talk to Warden Art fer chrissakes! He's worse!don’t think CDC or UT Board of Regents will give Urban a chance given the social issues of his past with players committing murder and his coaches participating in domestic violence
edit: Urban’s wife was a public advocate against domestic violence and worked to raise awareness. Terrible optics and most would Urban a snake.
And if UT loses three more games out of the next 5..?
