Reports have surfaced that Alabama Football Head Coach Nick Saban has now signed a three-year extension with the Crimson Tide.
I remember asking Nick Saban his 1st day at #Bama how committed he was. Said his next stop was retirement. … It was ’07, now signed thru ’24

As a part of the new contract, Saban will also receive a signing bonus of $4 million in addition to his $6.48 million yearly. He released a statement earlier on the future:
“Terry and I are pleased and happy to agree to the contract extension The University of Alabama has offered us, ensuring our time here in Tuscaloosa will continue for many more years,” Saban said. “This has become our home and we are looking forward to finishing our career at Alabama. I want to thank President Bell, Greg Byrne, our athletic administration, football staff and the entire University community for all of their support, which has been instrumental in the success of our organization. We are extremely proud of the young men who have represented the Crimson Tide on the football field, and more importantly, what they have been able to accomplish in their lives off the field because of their involvement in our program.”
Since Saban’s arrival in 2007, the Crimson Tide have won 86.2% of their games, added five SEC titles and four national titles.
