did he even make in his lifetime what the gumps pay Nick Saban for just one season?

Who is the better coach and who deserved the money?

You realize his son is one of our wealthiest donors?

Coach Bryant was WELL compensated.

Coach Bryant was the HC and AD. He was paid handsomely at a level that was high at the time.



However, where he made his money was on his connections. The guy made baaaaaaaaaaank in the construction/land/banking industry. He also was in on the ground floor with what is now CLC/IMG.

Probably Saban if you are asking from an X and O standpoint.
