Nick Saban's college football knowledge runs deep, but tapping into his expertise comes at a cost. Saban's compensation for his advisory work has been revealed.
Legendary college football coach Nick Saban took home millions in earnings during his lengthy career on the sideline. But his base salary was lower than many expected. According to Saban's contract with Alabama, he earned an estimated base salary of just over $300,000 for the 2023 season. Last season turned out to be the seven-time national championship winner's final coaching campaign when he announced his retirement in January.
According to documents obtained by AL.com, the 72-year-old will make $500,000 in base salary as an Alabama adviser. Saban's contracts were typically incentive-filled, which boosted his overall pay well into the eight-figure range. His last contract featured a variety of bonuses and a 'talent fee' that resulted in millions in payouts. If Alabama won the SEC championship, a bowl game or a national title, Saban would receive a hefty bonus. Saban was often the highest-paid college football coach during his tenure.
