The end doesn’t seem to be in sight for Alabama’s reign on college football and neither is the conclusion of Nick Saban’s coaching career. Earlier this week, Saban and the Crimson Tide agreed to a new contract extension that runs through February of 2030 while making him the highest-paid coach in the game with a total of $93.6 million in compensation.
Saban has already solidified his place in college football history with six national championships at Alabama and seven overall including his single title at LSU. But the motivation is still there for the man who turns 71 this October as he told ESPN on Thursday that he isn’t allowing his age to be an excuse to not adapt to the new game.
