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.

Yeah, that all makes sense. I have to think that they have talent on their roster even if it doesn't perform for Brown late this season (not sure about QB though), but it's kind of hard to see a scenario where they do bad enough to get Brown fired now. It would be nice if Brown decided to retire on his own, but that's probably wishful thinking.
