However UT is the ultimate. Everyone here likes to banter back and forth but there isn't a more powerful job in America than Texas. The highest concentration of athletes is in Texas and it really isn't close. What Saban could do there is scary. Especially in a conference that only has Oklahoma as a true blue blood competitor.
Winning a title at UT would cement him as the greatest of all time. Why not make a run at it. I think he's maxed what can be done at BAMA.

Urban didn't leave Fla for Oh St. The Tressel stuff hadn't even come out yet. That all went down the following spring. He took a year off and probably really wanted to take more than that but big jobs only come open so often so you strike when you must.
I will be surprised if Saban leaves but anything is possible.
Regardless I cannot conceive that he could be MORE dominant than he is now. In his off years they win 11 games.
