Texas Will Make Push for Saban If Charlie Strong Doesn't Return

Thursday, Nov. 19

Brian Jones of CBS Sports said on his radio show, Gio and Jones, that Texas Longhorns head coach Charlie Strong and the University of Miami continue to be linked despite Strong publicly denying those rumors. And if Strong leaves Texas this season or is fired, the Longhorns are expected to make a push to land Alabama's leading man.

“There will be another run at Mr. Saban,” Jones said. “They will break the bank. Whatever it takes.”

Whether Saban will be interested is another story altogether. The much-accomplished coach has built a powerhouse program with the Crimson Tide, going 100-18 in nine seasons while winning three national titles with the school.

While the allure of a bigger payday and the challenge of rebuilding Texas' program might be enticing, it seems more likely that Saban would try his hand at the NFL again if he desires another challenge. Texas, for all of its resources, would be a lateral move.
