We hear that a lot, but he seems happy enough where he is. He won't go back to the NFL and any other college HC job would be a lateral move at best, why bother. He'll never have more control and more opportunity than he has here.

IMO

LSU to Bama was a lateral move at the time.

Or did he go PRO after LSU?

Does not matter.

I think he had a ton of control the last 3 places he was at too.

He is the football version of Larry Brown in basketball. That type is so high strung they never are satisfied and always are seeking a new adventure
 
The SEC hasn't looked too good either. Losses by Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, LSU. Auburn won their game but it almost looked like both teams were determined to give it away.

Allen.....Saban left LSU to go to the Dolphins, understandable. Said he didn't like coaching the pro game as much so he took a pay cut to go to Bama when they offered. I don't see what makes him any different than any other coach that moved around to increasingly better jobs (before his drop back to the college level). Cincinnati's coach left for Notre Dame, Central Michigans coach is taking his place at Cincinnati...almost all of them wind up changing jobs a few times.

If Colt would not have gotten hurt Texas would have crushed the Tide but that's part of the game.
3 minutes to go Texas trailed by 3 with the ball and an eighteen year old quarterback.
Once he was sacked and fumbled the ball the game was over.
The Alabama points after that were all moot points.
Texas loses 24-21, the Tide should be ashamed.
Anybody with half a brain that watched that game realized that the Texas Longhorns were the best TEAM in college football.
Congrats to Alabama, they beat the best team, albeit a crippled one, and they deserve the number one spot.
A hollow victory for sure and no Crimson Tide fans were talikng shit the next day.
They knew, they knew they got by with one.

Hook 'em Horns!!!!
 
It sucks that he got hurt but luckily they said today he won't need surgery. And his proposal was cool.

However

Things are always a little crazy at the beginning of a bowl game. Nerves are at an all-time high, and you've had a month off so the timing on your offense usually sucks at first. It usually takes a series or two for players to settle in and start playing like they should. Colt was 2 of 2 for 9 yards and a rush for no gain when he got put out of the game. We can speculate all we want but if he had stayed in they might have still lost. We will never know.

I see no reason we should be ashamed of anything. Our Defense knocked people out of games all season. Running your QB against us on the first series was about as dumb as the timeout and shuffle pass instead of letting the first half end.

At one point yes....and we were up 24-6 later. It was 0-0 when McCoy went out, it was UT's 5th offensive snap.

I agree that Colt staying in it would have made it a different game, I just don't concede a different outcome. And I certainly don't buy what Mack said about how "It wouldn't even have been close". Too early in the game to make comments like that.

the whole tone of the game change with McCoy out.

Bama was throwing everything at the freshman. With McCoy if that happens he can do things with his feet also. I don't see the same momentum with McCoy playing.

I think TX has themselves a new QB though. Big props to that kid for not being overwhelmed and making a comeback
