1) Texas earns 2 times more than Alabama does. It earns more money than any other program in the nation, more than most NFL teams.
2) Texas has its own ESPN network, giving a foot in the door to ESPN for any coach at Texas after retiring.
3) Texas has a stadium that seats 101k right now and is planning on expanding to 115k, which they will easily sell out.
4) Texas resides in the state with the best recruits and gets top recruiting classes even when they suck!
5) Texas has top of the line facilitates, some of the best in the country.
6) Texas can pay the most for any coach and afford any coaching staff for their HC.
What's in it for Saban.
1) More money.
2) The elusive three championships from three different programs.
3) Easy recruiting, he already recruits heavy out of Houston.
4) A foot in the door to ESPN as a cushion job after he retires.
5) He will never take that #1 spot reserved for Bear, he knows this and may move on.
Texas is a better program than Alabama in every way.
Texas also has a total of 15 Championships, they only claim four, unlike Alabama that claims non-championship years.
