It's going to be hard to fire a coach who is breezing through the Big 12 and is in line for a BCS bowl, though.

I know this is just fan voting & doesn't mean anything substantial but thought it was interesting that most of the country thinks Alabama is a better job than Texas, http://espn.go.com/espn/fp/flashPoll...pollId=4036913 probably attributable to conference association & recent success but I agree w/ you. Texas is in a power league & has an easier path to the NC. Furthermore they can & do match anyone in terms of $, facilities, talent, history. But the differences are so slim that jumping from Alabama to Texas is ostensibly a lateral move. I'll be surprised if it happens.

Nobody does less with more than the Longhorns. Texas has one national title in the last 40 years and only two Big 12 titles ever. Saban is 62 years old, though. Let's say he coaches five more years...all at Texas...and doesn't win. Then what? If he wins one title, it will prove that the best coach in history can win a championship at Texas. Nothing shocking about that. But if he can't...then what? I'd like to see it happen...both to get Saban away from Bama and to see the spectacle of him at Texas.

I don't think it would diminish his legacy if he didn't win. I think it would be pretty embarrassing for Texas, though...especially if the SEC wins a few more titles during that span.

Oh, OK. I think it would tarnish his legacy a little bit if he didn't at least win some conference championships considering the expectations and the undeniable fact that there are no real excuses for failure at Texas. But I don't think he'd fail. I think he'd be able to have Texas at the top of the Big12 and in the national championship hunt at a minimum.

SEC Network about to launch and the most vital coach in the conference is about to bolt.

I don't think the SEC's fortunes rest on the retention of any single coach. There's no shortage of coaches in conferences like the Big 12 that would leave their current schools to coach in the SEC and the conference will continue to field a disproportionate share of the best football teams in the country with or without Saban.

They will be 6-0 in the Big 12 after Saturday. Then, they get a good Oklahoma State team at home, an okay Tech team at home, and a tough game at Baylor to end the season. If they win out (10-2), Big 12 champs, Orange Bowl...they can't fire Mack, can they? Even if they drop one game, they are a bowl win away from 10 wins. On the flip side, they could lose two of three to finish 8-4...and then lose a bowl game to go 8-5. If that happens, you have to wonder if they have the horses needed to win right away. If Saban can walk into an Ohio State type situation, he might take it. If he sees it as a full blown rebuild, I'm not so sure a guy who will be 63 next season wants to take that on.

Speaking of networks, what was up with the KU game the other night? Was it televised? I heard a lot of people bitching about it.
