I think 'Bama jumped on giving him a new deal because they heard UConn was going to reach out about their open defensive coordinator position.

I have lost whatever sense of value or what is outrageous, but if anyone deserves a crap ton of money in the sport, it's him.

 

[upperdeck]

is he gonna coach until he is 80?

 

[orangenauburn]

But, why?

Was he going to leave them if he wasn't the highest paid coach?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Go back to the NFL and prove yourself, coward.

 

[Chip]

Not good enough for $12M per year, huh?

He’ll be 79 when this contract ends.

Don’t tell JB.

SEC payout was about $55 million per school fwiw.

 

[mscanlo]

doesn't he have a clause in his contract that says he has to be the highest paid coach in college football (feel like i've heard that somewhere)?

They take pride in saying they pay him the most. The SEC is bizzaro world.
