"Sexton confirmed that UT is the only job Nick would possibly consider leaving Alabama for, and that his success there created special pressure for him," Hicks wrote.

The pressure was not further explained in the email and Sexton declined comment Tuesday. Saban was not available after practice....

Old News. Not going to happen. When he leaves Bama he will retire to the lake.

One more time, Saban is 62 and not looking to start over. Sheesh, let it go.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The agent for coach Nick Saban told Texas officials in January that Texas was the only school he would consider leaving Alabama for, and his success with the Crimson Tide had put him under "special pressure," The Associated Press has learned.

The agent, Jimmy Sexton, made the comments during a 45-minute call with former Texas Regent Tom Hicks and current Regent Wallace Hall. Hicks detailed the call in a Sept. 24 email that was obtained Tuesday by the AP through an open-records request./quote]

After hearing Saban's interview on "60 Minutes", I'm not worried.

Yeah, I guess they missed the 60 Minutes segment and Ms. Terry said the same thing.


Chech, go ahead and combine this with the other thread on the same subject.

He did indeed. How many times must the man say he's not going anywhere until he retires.

And, more importantly, Miss Terry is happy where they are.

One more:  :deadhorse:

I heard on "Southern Sports Tonight" radio show Thursday that Coach Saban, Jimmy Sexton and Dr Witt were meeting to firm up a long term contract where CNS will stay for 5-6 more years as head coach, and then semi-retire as a consultant. They said the intention was to pay him 2 million/yr after his coaching days are over.

I haven't heard anything further on it.

I had expected he would stay until he is 66-68 years old. He looks in great shape and even he admitted he had no hobbies and wouldn't know what to do with all the spare time if he retired.

Beat LSU and continue the process.  If he goes anywhere I wish him well.  But it won't be before January, 2014.

Do people really think Saban would have agreed to all of these TV promos if he was leaving anytime soon? That would be a PR nightmare! Come on man! This crap came up before the A&M game...coincidence? I think not...

I missed the Erin Andrews interview last night. Did she address the subject of him leaving like 60 minutes did?

You did not miss much. She was asking questions like "What is the process?", "You work so much how do you handle your private life?" and a bunch of stuff about his relationship with Belichick. Nothing about leaving.
