I am not trying to see if I can afford it, I am just wondering what is would cost.

There is no buyout in his clause. Don't you wish you had the same thing in place for Miles? For the shortsighted and simplistic, such as yourself, you see no buyout as proof positive that he is going to leave. However, there are factors in play that you struggle with understanding. Those include political capital. Saban is a smart guy, and he realizes that after the nation-wide media beat down he took for coming to UA, he doesn't have the political capital to make another jump. Any semblance of credibility he regained at UA would simply vanish. Saban is obsessed with TQM, which is why he uses verbage like "process". He knows that more than just a monetary figure is in play. It may be a difficult concept for you to harness, but that isn't shocking. Any fanbase that would think a fourth down gambler, who backslid into a 2 loss NC, somehow is going to continue to win long term..well, I don't doubt complex concepts such as this would escape your grasp.
