Only three nfl coaches make more.

I would be delighted if our head coach ended u being similarly successful and similarly well paid. Though I suspect with the way Nick works they end up investing quite a bit each year...

....are you implying that Bama has to pay recruits to want to come play for an insanely successful program? one in which they are pretty much guaranteed to win at least 1 natty during their?

Implying the Saban family probably makes more than Nick has free time to spend.

Why would they pay despite all the success? Because everyone else is and to keep being successful you have to at least match what the other bag men are giving.

How else do you explain 5-star primadonnas being willing to sit a year or two before playing for Bama? The money's just too good to complain.

Head coaches of major men's programs may be the most important money maker for universities when you consider all the resources they bring in. On Mike and Mike this morning they were saying that enrollment for out of state students is higher at Alabama than in state students, that in large part is due to what Saban has accomplished on the football field and the notiriety that he's brought to the university. He is underpaid if you consider the amount of money he brings into Alabama, imo.

quote:You do realize, the higher they go, the better off the Ags are? Sometimes it's good to be rich. Well, most all of the time it is. Think a top 10 richest school, and no "salary cap". The caveat is it will also help the sips.

quote:Yea pay the man so that tu and other school/NFL teams can't make a run at him. If Sumlin has this kind of record, we would pay him.
Last 8 seasons (2008-15)
4 National titles
8 Top 10 finishes
5 SEC titles
7 SEC West championships
I would say those results are worth at least $100 million, which would be $12.5 million per year. Saban is underpaid.

If College Football were in China, I bet coaching salaries would be kept in line better.
