Dynasties begin and then they end. As do more ordinary runs of success and failure. Texas is a blue blood program with periods of great success (60s, 80s and 2000s)and periods of failure (90s, 2010s). Texas may be due a run of success. Alabama could be nearing the end of its dominance if Saban quits in, say, three years. Alabama was very average for years pre-Saban, and it will come back to earth. The Manning family and Arch are betting Texas will return to prominence. May not be a bad bet, particularly with NIL changes that Saban is upset about for good reason. And, as some here observe, Arch has an out if it doesn’t work. I also think his respect for Sarkesian’s resume in work with quarterbacks factored significantly as does going to college in Austin (as opposed to Tuscaloosa or Athens— both great towns but not up and coming major cities). Will be interesting to watch it play out.
