Nick Saban, who has led Alabama's football program to six national championships, has been rewarded with a contract extension that will take him through the Crimson Tide's 2028 season, the university announced Monday.
The new agreement will extend his current contract by three seasons to eight years. Saban is set to make $8.425 million this coming season, and his new deal will include annual increases in salary that sources told ESPN would take his average annual salary to more than $10 million over the life of the contract. As part of Saban's new deal, he will receive a contract completion benefit of $800,000 payable at the end of the 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 contract years.
