Good Morning: Those Saban-Texas Rumors Won’t Die ‘Till He Signs New Deal

Emails from Nick Saban's agent sent in January say Texas is the only school Saban would consider leaving Alabama for. There hasn't been any official word yet, but Saban has been linked to the likely opening at Texas when Mack Brown leaves/gets fired, and these reports will only fuel speculation that denials — given Saban's history — won't really help. Still, as Brian Floyd pointed out, Saban's assistants all received raises shortly after these emails were sent. The game is the game.
