Saban's a ramblin' man

I hope this doesn't hurt with Nick Watkins.

Wasn't he a Longhorn lover?

Saban's a ramblin' man

This really isnt confirmed, confirmed. I would hold the phone a bit. It's "sources."

 

[GoIrish41]

Ya mean you didn't see the proof positive in the Iron Bowl?


Saban's team making more mistakes in one game than they made in the past couple of seasons?

Saban attempting a record setting kick with the backup kicker as time expires instead of winning in OT?

Saban putting no LB, Safety, or RB on the field with the FG unit AFTER Malzahn calls time out AND substitutes a Kick Returner for a Safety AND positions him in the EZ for a return.



All of which resulted in Saban being freed of an obligation to coach in the NC Game allowing him to step into the UTX position seamlessly with two months to bring in a recruiting class.

Oliver Stone? Is that you?

 

[Cackalacky]

Kicker for Texas decommitted earlier today. Lol. Publicly on twitter. Lol.

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

FWIW no ESPN outlets are reporting that, the tweet came from some kid with like 100 followers, and others are responding that they're listen to ESPN The Horn and are denying that anything was said

LOL I was going to make a tinfoil hat comment, but I just assumed it was sarcasm.

 

[koonja]

Probably a classic troll job by @Mologna.

He had me doing jumping jacks.

 

[Cackalacky]

Me too lol.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

People here spend so much time following college football that they should know legit sources from bogus ones.

 

[Irish Houstonian]

Others are saying the same thing. Although they all might have the same "sources".

Who knows if Saban will even be after him. Although Alabama did show interest in him during the process.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

 

[koonja]

It's scary that Alabama lost a game and a fan was so heated they shot someone over it.

WTF is going to happen when Saban leaves that crazy ass state? Pretty scary.

Wait a local espn affiliate confirmed.... What exactly?

ESPN Austin supposedly confirmed Saban will be coach for Texas. Others deny it. Others reporting multiple outlets confirming.

Twitter is going apeshit. At this point it's hard to tell anything anymore.

 

[koonja]

@Mologna: ESPN 104.9 The Horn, Austin, TX reports Saban to Texas confirmed... oh wow.

FYI

104.9 The Horn ‏@1049TheHorn 2m
Afternoon hosts Erin Hogan and Bucky Godbolt today made fun of a story saying Saban-to-Texas was a done deal. They did not report that

 

[ACamp1900]

Yeah this is all twitter based bullshit...

 

[GreenSox04]

Sounds like bologna, I still think it happens.

 

[Cackalacky]

Sounds like bologna, I still think it happens.

In the end I do too.

@uscpsycho: ESPN radio is reporting Saban is going to Texas. Why didn't #USC go after him hard? I bet UT didn't even consider calling our top dog Sark.

I don't know why, but Saban and USC just doesn't seem like a good fit to me. Possibly because LA is such a large market for the media and he would come under more scrutiny than he would in Tuscaloosa or Austin. At those two schools football is the undeniable top dog and the main focal point of the area. Not so in LA.

 

[IrishinTN]

He is a perfect fit in Texas, though. Especiallly for the incredible money they'll. Give him.
