Turns out last year, Texas was speaking with Nick Saban and asking Mack Brown if he wanted to retire. Mack said no, and Texas dropped the matter with Saban. Turns out they should have just canned the old cook and hired Nicky. Texa$$ has been getting it's ass handed to them
I don't get the impression that they're "in talks." It seemed like Texas reached out to him and that was it.
