This does not appear to be a drill. Stefan Stevenson, the TCU beat reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, citing a “source close to the Texas executive council of regents” is reporting that Nick Saban will be the next coach at Texas. This follows the Orangebloods.com report earlier in the day that Mack Brown will step down as head coach.

[UPDATE: Stevenson, after a long silence, has chimed in again. There’s some backpedaling. How does he go from “will be” to “very confident?”]
If I had more information to write a story I would have. Source was very confident. I’ll believe it when I see it.

I have no vested interest in Texas’ next coach. Just reporting what a reputable source is claiming. No linked story, not fishing for hits.

It’s not clear how this plays out, but, Nick Saban is about to be making stupid money, even more than he already was. Hire Jimmy Sexton as your agent, folks. Buckle up and be safe out there.
