No offense but anyone thinking Saban is going back to the Pros knows very little about Saban.
He absolutely hated it.

What has worked for him is instituting NFL level support (sports psychologists, personnel department that rank players on mental as well as physical attributes, untold assistants for academic support et al). But he hated the process of drafting and building NFL teams with a salary cap.

He's simply too old to take a couple years off and recharge and too old to start over somewhere with a bare pantry. UT, ND and USC are probably the only real options. Of those USC has so many distractions that it seems a fairly long shot. ND has a new Irish coach doing quite well. UT has a dead dog carcass hanging around and a top 10 talent pool in place.

Logically UT ne4eds Saban and Saban would find it a great fit. It's basically Bama but with fewer rednecks per capita and lots more money.

I never said he would leave for the NFL. I said if he left, it would be for the NFL and I do believe that. Texas doesn't need Saban. Texas needs to go out and find a good young coach that they can build with.

He really said that?

You Texas fans have to be happy in a way that a change is finally coming.

Mack didn't burn Swoopes shirt last night, he has no intention of going anywhere. There is no doubt in his mind he could go 3-9 and be back. The big money boosters love this clown. If Dodds is here Mack is here.

I thought I read that Dodds will retire on New Years Eve. Many sources are saying even though UT is trying to deny it. If this is true, Mack is gone. As is Rick Barnes.

i for one hope that report is true, however the school has strongly denied it to be true and i tend to side with the school telling the truth than chip brown knowing what he's talking about.

The only about that is there are many sources close to the situations that have said the same thing. Including insiders. Chip isn't the only saying it. So we will see. If Texas loses this Saturday and in two weeks in Dallas, I can see a press conference happening soon after.
 
i feel kind of dirty doing it, but i kind of hope we lose this next game and get killed by OU if it means mack will be gone before next season

Chip Brown's source is usually Dodds himself.
He is very likely correct.
 
You know what's ironic? Mack has done a ton of winning @ UT. National champs. And now fans will be dancing in the streets when he's gone.

I was talking to my dad about this & he said he's reminded a little of the last Landry year. Iconic coach but fans calling for his head. The game had passed him by & all that. Some similarities.

Mack brought top talent to UT, he was an amazing recruiter, never a good coach. But even his recruiting has slipped now, we are starting to lose recruits to A&M and other SEC teams in state! If he was like Chris Petersen and did more, with less that would be one thing, but he isn't so he is becoming useless.

My use of the term "iconic coach" was in reference to Coach Landry. Regarding Mack he has been a winner. For years. I'm definitely on board with them replacing him. They need to move on. Get him to retire with a big buyout. Do something.

Nonsense, Mack should stay at UT for life and then beyond as an urn with a headset, he's doing a heckuva job ;)
