During the last few years of Mack Brown’s tenure as Texas head coach in 2012 and 2013, there was plenty of smoke surrounding the possibility that Nick Saban would eventually replace him. However, when Brown resigned in 2013, Charlie Strong ended up as his replacement.
Saban himself downplayed the Texas rumors once again this week, ahead of his team’s trip to Austin.
On the Hey Coach Nick Saban radio show, Saban acknowledged he was never going to consider taking the Texas job, always opting to remain at Alabama.
“You know there was really nothing to be concerned about,” Saban said, via Michael Casagrande of AL.
