LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron says he doesn’t believe coach Nick Saban will leave for Texas.

McCarron made his comments in advance of Thursday’s College Football Awards Show. Saban is reportedly a target of Texas officials to be the school’s next coach if Mack Brown is fired or steps down.

But the quarterback also added that he can’t speak for his coach.

“To me, he’s not leaving. That’s my personal opinion,” McCarron said Wednesday. “I can’t speak on Coach Saban. I stay out of his business. “
