Saban gets a raise.

6.5 base. If he finishes each season he gets another 400K. Good work if you can get it.

Making more than all but 6 NFL coaches

The guy wins championships, might as well pay him enough so he sticks around.

Plus he makes the college money. I'm taking my daughter to all the MSU orientation crap and tours for juniors, they say that a record number of applicants have applied this year. 33k. That is reflective of our rose bowl in some part.

What? He didn't renege on a good faith agreement to increase his salary after the season by sneaking away with over a month left in the season? WHOA! Our boy Saban all growns up!

The assistants are the ones who got paid.

Smart is now at 1.385 million.
Kiffin is at 680k for 2 years and then 715k
New linebackers coach Kevin Steele will be the second-highest paid assistant, making $700,000 a year. Also a special assistant to the head coach, he is moving from a support staff role.

New defensive line coach Bo Davis will make a $450,000 salary. Receivers coach Billy Napier received a one-year extension but his $325,000 salary remains unchanged.
Other coaches with old and new salary:
— Burton Burns, associate head coach/running backs, goes from $400,000 to $428,000.
— Mario Cristobal, offensive line, $475,000 to $500,000.
— Lance Thompson, outside linebackers, $400,000 to $428,000.
— Bobby Williams, tight ends/special teams coordinator, $400,000 to $428,000.
— Scott Cochran, director of strength and conditioning, $355,000 to $395.000.

As dumb as that thought is, tell me the applications went up to 33K this year because of the Cyclotron or the new Hop Cat in town. Funny how that when a school wins a NC or does really well in a sport, not only do applications increase, but so do alumni donations.

I'm encouraging mine to go to Alabama. For the education.

You might want to wait until J Winston is in the NFL before encouraging your daughter to Florida state.

Alabama's Nick Saban will make $11.125 million this season under 3-yr extension that includes $4M signing bonus

Aaron Suttles‏ @AaronSuttles 10m10 minutes ago
I repeat, Nick Saban got paid another $4 million to agree to be paid approximately $7 million a season for another three years. Sign me up.

The brinks truck just backed up to Saban's bank.

Guys with 4 National Championships in a decade who have a statue in front of the stadium get pretty much whatever it takes to get them to stay.

me and DWags exchanging some verbal junk 3 years ago..

(sorry I was a jerk - I've matured a lot since I was 45 years old).

DWags is a great American.

And we have co-coordinators up the wazoo. So instead of paying one genius coordinator on each side of the line, we're paying for two mediocre ones.

I think this eliminates our chances of getting him back.

I don't even
