Saban makes like $11 million a year and is the highest paid coach in the history of college football.

People throw around the word easily a lot here. Right now no one outside of Tuscaloosa and Athens (this year) are winning anything that way.

You still don’t get it. The investment is going to be huge regardless. The question and program’s gamble is whether he’s the right guy to make it in. There’s no subtracting coach A’s salary and the risk with coach B is the difference. It’s all him.

No they aren’t. You just don’t get the point

They could but what viable metric indicates he’s worth that kind of gamble? He ain’t giving up that sweetheart contract without some truly epic guaranteed money.

Low risk only if money doesn’t matter. If money matters he’s very high risk.

He’s a couple of wins away from being automatically extended another year at close to $5 million. That’s not a contract anyone in their right mind is leaving to come here.

The first part is what it’s going to cost for his contract. Didn’t even factor in a buyout. He’s got a sweetheart deal at Kentucky: 1. “Have you ever seen Mark’s contract? Mark has the best ******* deal in the country.” An SEC assistant told me this when I asked about Stoops petering out...

$25-$30 million just for his contract, $5-$8 million minimum for Manny’s buyout, buyouts for current assistants, plus new contracts for new assistants. $40 million may be low.

You want to take a $40 million gamble on a coach you’re asking to change before he even steps foot on campus?

There’s so many excuses being made for this guy I had to double check to be sure this wasn’t another Mario thread.
