    Was told by a great source (hopefully most are) Saban is still deciding at this hour. Weighing both sides carefully.

    I think it's ultimately a power play to get more money.

    My prediction is Saban signs a new deal giving him $7 million a year with Bama.

    Man, every time ESPN says "This just in" ... and then it is something else.

    @Cajun Sensation

    From what I have read he has had that deal sitting on his desk since Friday. Still hasn't signed it.

    Oh, I'm certain this is a power play to get more money. However, UT is going to be offering more money than Bama will. I think he's going to UT.

    So does most of Dallas sports radio this morning.

    And why wouldn't he?

    Not for the cash, but for the power. Saban is a control freak and if Texas is smart they will give him unlimited authority over football and no interference from the University as well as a blank check.

    I just went over there to read about it, and in true Tidefans fashion, they have demanded that no one create any threads about UT rumors. :p

    Because a Big 12 school is required to have a spread, read option, hurry up no huddle offense and he hates that.
