Apparently, the Texas football program is revisiting a year from its tradition-filled past, although the year it chose is rather curious.

The Longhorns are reliving 2013, according to Larry Brown Sports, based on comments from CBS Sports' Brian Jones.

Their current head coach may be out at the end of the season, and the school will try to lure Nick Saban out of Tuscaloosa, said Jones on his radio show, "Gio and Jones."

If Charlie Strong leaves or is fired, "There will be another run at Mr. Saban," Jones said Thursday. "They will break the bank. Whatever it takes."

Sound familiar?

The Longhorns were struggling over what to do with then-coach Mack Brown in 2013 and were in hot pursuit of the Crimson Tide coach. Brown was in his 16th year at Texas, having won a national championship in 2005 and taking the team to the BCS championship game in 2009 but began struggling in 2010.

Texas' record was 30-21 his last four years, and it was widely known that the Longhorns were going to try to usher him out of his job. It was also widely rumored that Saban, who was negotiating a new contract with Alabama, had a huge offer from Texas.

Saban re-signed with the Crimson Tide through 2022 at $7 million per season, and the Longhorns hired Strong from Louisville.

Strong is 10-13 as he finishes up his second year in Texas, which may have rekindled the Longhorns courting of Saban. Saban was said to be frustrated at Alabama in September, according to Football Scoop, which has rekindled rumors that he could be on the move.

Larry Brown Sports speculated that if Saban were to leave, he'd prefer to return to the NFL to try to rewrite his history there. However, if he were to resurrect Texas, he would have an argument as being the greatest college football coach ever.
