Smart move by Saban. Once Jimbo starts dominating the SEC, Nicky will be glad he got his guaranteed money while he could.

Good move.  Once Fisher starts spanking Saban regularly and sends Bama back to mediocrity he'll enjoy that long, rich contract.  Only injustice of this (7.5 million base) is that Saban hasn't earned Fisher kinda money.  

Bama had no choice after whffing on jimbo.

This just keeps nicky as a placeholder until johnny football retires from playing in the nfl and agrees to coach at bama.

Well, looks like aggy is not gonna win a natty for at least 8 years!!  Wonder if Jimbo will even still be around?

If the over/under is 8, I'm taking the under.  7 years of disappointment is when they've financially dig themselves out of prior disappointments and the buyout gets small enough to swallow.

Not until his wife finishes house shopping near lake travis

NS is truth that short people live longer. 

 

Btw, if your bonus is known before the season, is it really a bonus?

Maybe it’s for being bowl eligible.

CDC agreed to fire Herman to get the AD job. Patterson had too much integrity to be Red’s hatchet man.

Poor Aggy. But doubt he stays that long. Likely just to help them fend off negative recruiting from other schools saying he's going to retire soon

Nick will probably coach until he's 80 and or some crazy fucking Auburn fan shoots him and starts an Alabama Civil War.  

I don't think Saban's ego will let him retire until he's got so many titles that not even Bear Bryant is mentioned in the same breath with him.  He'll die in his office in 2032 while on the phone with a bag man who's on his way to buy a 5-star cornerback to be a backup for the next two years.

I don't know the man, but he seems to be wired like so many are, he would die in a couple years or less if he retired. Of course he could also fall over on the sideline while chewing some OC out for calling some stupid play while up by fifty points. So you have that possibility as well.

Not sure about "Poor Aggy".  Bama's accomplishments are shared.

  • Machinator changed the title to Nick Saban extends contract through 2028

All joking aside I'm surprised it has not happened yet

I kind of want this to happen now. Him dying from chewing out a db. It’d be the most Saban way to die ever. But he’s probably like palpatine where he’s been building clones of himself for years 

How old was Joepa when State Penn finally shitcanned him? Saban will be close if he lasts to the end, which I bet he won't if he really wants the program to continue what he started. Bama will have someone waiting in the wings before little Nicky's 76th birthday, and it will be a not so well kept secret among potential recruits.

JoePa was a month and a half shy of his 85th birthday when fired. Fired 11/9/2011 turned 85 on 12/21/2011 and died 1/22/2012

aggy signs Jimbo through 2038 for a guaranteed $20 million a year with no buyout.

Advantage aggy.

Damn, no college coach will ever last that long in this day and age. Saban may even be the last septugenarian

Surprised it isn't a lifetime contract.

I believe the new term is going to be 'NIL representative'.

Seriously, you have to think at some point Sabans age will become an issue in recruiting. Despite his good health it will happen at some point. Maybe he sees the drop off in recruiting and hangs it up before staying too long like Bowden did.
