Saban in at UT at year's end?

" [uT Regent] Wallace [Hall] came to my home a little after 7 pm, and we talked it through prior to the call. We spoke on my home office speaker phone to Sexton [saban's agent] for approximately 45 minutes. Both Wallace and I participated. [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. We told Sexton that Mack had leadership’s support to stay, and that I would go talk to him as a friend to see if Mack had any interest in retiring. I told him it would have to be Mack’s idea, and that I really didn’t know how Mack and Sally were feeling about the pressures of the job at this time."

In that same call, Hall is reported to have said that UT president Bill Powers "wouldn't be here at the end of the year."

Anyone recall the score of ULM VS 'Bama during Saban's first year there? There is going to be a transition for UT if this were to happen... and that may play into our hands. We'll see.

I hope you're right if this deal goes down. I've already booked my trip back home to Austin to watch the game at DKR with all my UT friends...
