TUSCALOOSA, Alabama — The chatter about Nick Saban and a possible opening at the University of Texas came to a head Thursday evening at his weekly radio show.

Saban's agent, Jimmy Sexton, was reportedly contacted by a regent and former regent from the University of Texas. The phone conversation, according to the Associated Press, occurred two days after Alabama beat Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship Game. The call was to gauge interest in the Longhorns job if Mack Brown were to step aside.

Asked about the report by Cecil Hurt of the Tuscaloosa News, Saban said he was unaware of any contact.

"Nothing went on that I know of. I don't know about any of this stuff," Saban said. "I haven't talked to anybody about that particular situation. They have a coach there."

He continued as the cheers from the Buffalo Wild Wings audience started.

"Every year it's something. Last year it was the Cleveland Browns," Saban said. "The year before that it was somebody else, the NFL. Terry and I are very happy here in Tuscaloosa. We're really love the University of Alabama. We really feel like a part of the community here and we have a lot of good friends here."

Then he topped it off to a large round of applause.

"And, quite frankly," Saban said, "I'm just too damn old to start over somewhere else."
