Remember when there was collective shock and outrage when Saban signed an eight year deal worth $32 million when he was hired by Alabama back in 2007? Those were the days.

I remember when Ray perkins signed for 100K at Bama.

Because of a three-year extension that he signed before the start of this season, Perkins was bound to the Giants as head coach through 1985, until the team released him from his contract. His salary here is estimated at $150,000 to $200,000 a year.

General Manager George Young and the 41-year-old Parcells said they had a handshake agreement on a multiyear contract. Though Bryant's salary figures have not been made public, a source close to Alabama athletics said that for years the coach's annual salary was $99,999.99 because he did not want it to equal the university president's $100,000. During the last few years, the source said, Bryant's salary has been $110,000,
Dr. Joab L. Thomas, the university's president, said in Tuscaloosa that Perkins had agreed to a five-year contract at $100,000 a year.
