Saban is about to get mega fuckin' paid

FBScoop posted:

Alabama: The UA Board’s compensation committee will meet on Tuesday to approve new contracts for Nick Saban, his on-field staff, Scott Cochran and new AD Greg Byrne. It’ll be the first time Saban’s deal has been revisited since 2014. He currently makes $6.9 million in base compensation through 2021.

I thought I'd heard he was in declining health at some point, did I just fall for some negative recruiting?

I know it's all self funded through the athletic department revenue, but surly there has to be some upper limit right? I can't help but feel like these insane contracts aren't great for the sport in general

I think coaching salaries will gradually go down after the next round of broadcast rights negotiations. The floundering of ESPN shows that we're at the high water mark of how much money networks can pay for TV rights.

This is kinda how I see it too. I get the feeling we're going to plateau or drop back at some point.

Depends a bit on the school/conference. The odds of the MAC ever having a coach making over $1m base pay are basically zero. On top of that, schools seem to be a lot more trigger-happy to fire coaches these days so overall pay to a coach may not be as huge in the long run either. Bama's obviously it's own pretty unique case.

I imagine Fleck was close last year after bonuses and all that. But Saban's the curve-breaker since any coach wanting Saban money would be told to produce Saban results. But then again, Harbaugh's the exception to that rule, so who knows.

Yeah he was over 1mil with bonuses but I really doubt you see it as a base pay, and he was a pretty unique case.

From a quick look, dude's now the highest-paid coach in the US. Even the pro sports, as if the FBS isn't one. He makes $4 million more than any player in the MLS.

Saban's pay is more on the level of European football than American football. Even then, depending on exchange rates he's anywhere from the tenth to fourth highest-paid coach in the world.

So is the 4 million signing bonus INCLUDED in the 11M+ or on top of it? Wording seems to imply it could be either.

Included, best I can tell. 7.whatever million plus the 4m signing bonus for this season. Next year he'll be back in the 7m range (up until Bama gives him another extension/signing bonus).

Cheers. That's what I figured because nearly doubling a coaches salary in the current TV climate seems to be insane.

Crazy that he makes more than his mentor, Bill Belichick. I mean it seems crazy Belichick isn't the highest paid coach in American sports by a wide margin. I don't know too much about NFL rules but does the coach's salary count towards the salary cap?

All the marquee patriots are getting paid under the table and i think everyone just accepts it

even though it makes no sense since coaching salaries don't count against the cap but gently caress it the patriots cheat at literally every level.

As a blue dot in this deep red shithole, I can attest that Greenville and the coastal cities aren't that bad. Charleston is a gem that is being drowned in tourons and transplants with no plan for development or our deepening housing bubble.

Everything in between is disgraceful. Rural areas are painfully racist, sinfully poor and intentionally underfunded. The political climate is abhorrent, the education is heartbreakingly deficient and the infrastructure is crumbling in place while state pols scream that taxation is theft.

Politicians alternate between knocking each other down to give tax breaks to corporations and proposing religious freedom bills to affirm that Earth is 6000 years old.

I love SC and I loving hate SC.

For real. Half the income of an anesthesiologist, so like 150 to 250k with zero liability and significantly less investment on the front end.

You can do 3 12s as a PA.

You can basically do 3 12s as anything higher than like a LPN.
