Who are these two guys in my office?

The Bobs believe in firing on Fridays as there are less incidents that way.

Texas Site Goes All In On Nick Saban to Texas

Published on: December 05, 2013 | Written by: Clay Travis

Nick Saban to Texas is the rumor that will not die.

Last night a social media firestorm erupted over Saban to Texas. (Above photo via yahoo).

Where did it originate?

At a website called InsideTexas.com.

And via a writer who goes by the pen name of Jesus Shuttlesworth.

Yes, I'm for real. 

Let's track down the roots of the latest Internet rumor.

You can find both the site and the writer on Twitter.

InsideTexas is here. It has over 10,000 Twitter followers, so it's achieved a substantial social media following, including several ESPN staffers who have worked at the Longhorn Network.

Jesus Shuttlesworth -- who has a nice photoshopped Ray Allen as Jesus as his Twitter image -- is on there as well. He has around 700 followers.

His most recent Twitter comment is a retweet from 13 hours ago, "I'm an atheist, but I believe in @jesusinsidetex."

At Outkick we get all sorts of outlandish message board rumors sent to us each day. Most of them we just dismiss or check out for the entertainment value.

But this one hopped off the premium board at Inside Texas and took Twitter by storm.

Why?

Because it's so detailed and definitive.

And, also, because so many people seem to want to believe it.

So is Saban to Texas completely made up?

We'll see.

But here's what Inside Texas was telling its premium subscribers last night. (Via tipster Nick. H.)

This is from a live chat:

Jesus Shuttlesworth: I think Mack announces before banquet and Saban comes in that weekend
Jesus Shuttlesworth: The crazy part is Saban will bring recruits with him it sounds like.
zzzizzzy: assistants have been asked to keep quiet w their future plans until mack announces.
Jesus Shuttlesworth: zzzz, is right about that. Expect announcements or breaking news from IT next Sunday
Jesus Shuttlesworth: huntsville, I will never do percentages again, but I'm confident
zzizzzy: saban still 100%
Jesus Shuttlesworth: chancellor at bama says saban to texas. That's the big news
Jesus Shuttlesworth: Some Bama commits may follow Saban to Texas. two or three five stars
zzzizzzy: assistants have literally been begged to remain quiet on their future plans until after Mack announces
zzizzzy: no obligation to keep quiet, but if they want other jobs, they respect the chain of command

Robert Witt, Bama Chancellor, was Dean of UT Business School, and President of UT-Arlington.

Saban NOT coaching bowl game. period.

Jesus Shuttlesworth: Nobis, Narduzzi and the Nussmeyer I would think (Possible staff)

lamar littrell: regarding current AD personnel/coaches vis a vis Patterson...think Jim McKay' Munich coverage - "They're all gone...

Jesus Shuttlesworth: jark, the whole thing gets blown up. Suddes will be the only survivor. BTW, did anyone notice the latest Texas offer and who broke it? Guess who and guess why

Jesus Shuttlesworth: Robert Witt chancellor at bama, Red McCombs, Pat Frost, Bart Koontz, Bob Rowling, austin realtor, UTPD, an interior decorator in Austin, have all said Saban was coming to Texas among others. It's why we've been confident

zzzizzzy: suddes was suggested for his position back when we were almost certain saban was coming. mack unwittingly said ok. js may not agree with me on this, but it is a fact and one of the reasons ive been so certain of saban's coming

And our tipster continues with further revelations:

"On a similar note I have had two friends (both Aggies, so they aren't being Texas homers) tell me about similar "Saban is a done deal" rumors. One sat in a Texas boosters box for the Tech game and was told by that booster that "Saban deal has been done for 8 weeks." I don't think it is done but he seemed fairly confident that Saban will be at Texas next year. I don't want to give the boosters name but if you need it to confirm how involved he is at Texas then I will provided it as long as you don't use it publicly. My other buddy works for a news station somewhere in the state of Texas( I will not provide his name) but he spoke with a very influential booster from a different school in Texas. This booster told him about some other coaching deals (briles, sumlin, etc) about a month before the story broke so he is beginning to listen to the rumors that this booster tells him. The booster is involved in Texas politics as well so he has a good hear for what is going on at the major schools in Texas. He told my friend "As much as it saddens me to say this, Saban to Texas has been done for a long time". I know you probably get several rumor emails like this but I thought it is still of some interest to you."

...

So if you're wondering where all the smoke came from last night, it was from InsideTexas.

And by going all in on Saban to Texas, they've set themselves up to be either geniuses or idiots.

Which, to be fair, is kind of what college football does to all of us on a weekly basis.

With headline of Mack being gone...

Chip Brown‏@ChipBrownOB5h
High-level sources tell http://bit.ly/2ENVsd  Mack Brown will step down after 16 years at Texas. My story ... http://bit.ly/1kwvDJ4

and reaffirmed...

Chip Brown‏@ChipBrownOB35m
My sources at the highest level of Texas have re-confirmed my report. I hope we can start talking about Mack Brown’s legacy at Texas soon.

The rumor mill churning hard as ever..

Finebaum has said the turds have had a contract on his desk since friday..

http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2013/12/paul_finebaum_nick_saban_has_a.html

Yet here we are 4 days later and no announcement on an extension. The thing that screams something is going on is the fact that the midget himself could've squashed all of this on Gameday by announcing he and the updykes were in negotiations on an extension. His silence speaks volumes imo. Ask yourself this, why would a recruiting machine like the updyke king allow these rumors to swirl and hurt him on the recruiting trail?


The corndogs are all over the midget to Texas rumors...

This Nick Saban stuff is apparently getting real.

TCU beat report from Fort-Worth Star

Stefan Stevenson‏ @FollowtheFrogs 58m
Source close to Texas executive council of regents says Nick Saban will be next Longhorns coach.

[Tiger Wench]

The Turd Rumor Mill is countering by saying they are offering Sabinz $7M.

 

NO ONE is worth that kind of money for coaching a damn football team.  They are out of their gorram minds if they do that.

[Buzz Killington]

Latest rumor is a 10 year $100M deal on the table

[The Prowler]

Uh Oh someone was apparently taking pictures inside the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport yesterday and caught Nick Saban walking with what looks like a Texas regent official...

Saban was Little Enos the whole damn time

I think 99.9% (or 144/157th) of the people "reporting" on this, know exactly DICK.  Mack Brown hasn't been fired and hasn't resigned.  It may happen this morning but as of right now....

And Lord Saybinz hasn't announced a damn thing yet.  Do I want it to happen?  Yep!!!  I want our rival to have Mike Shula as coach, not LS.  Just like I'm quite certain the unwashed would much rather us have Ron Chizik at the helm right now.

All the Mack out/Lord Saybinz in stuff may happen.  But there's something that tells me the people making those decisions aren't giving intricate details to anyone posting on message boards or talking on the radio.  Finebaum has been reporting last night that Lord Saybinz has had a contract on his desk since last Friday, but hasn't done anything with it.  Really?  Who the fuck told him that?  Nobody.  Lord Saybinz is out recruiting the country and they just walked in his office and plopped a $100 million contract on his desk?  Did they put it in the in box or the out box?  Just throw it in his chair with the rest of his mail?

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.
