I just don't see why Saban would leave for another project at this point in his career. He has Alabama the way he wants it, they will pay him pretty much anything, and the expectations at Texas are just as high, if not higher. Their fans are just as much as fucktards as 90% of our fanbase.
If he does leave, yeah, it would suck. He's one of the best coaches in college football. But, we all knew he would leave at some point, whether by retirement or other. I wouldn't mind it if Kirby Smart were named HC. I think that is the plan anyway. If not, I'm pretty sure that Alabama can land a high profile coach. Saban has set the table for the next person in line.
