if you think your athletic department can even pony up 15 million per year to keep saban. Athletic departments can't suddenly adjust a coach's salary 10+ million dollars and not be in a hole. Certainly Alabama has a rabid fanbase that can raise as much as anyone in the SEC but no freaking way you can go over 10 million per year. Hell no one can except maybe Texas, maybe.

Wait, some people think Saban will actually leave Alabama for Texas? I think Texas will have to offer at least 12 mil before UA even begins to think about not matching it. Even then, Saban isn't going to leave over one or two million.

Aren't we already paying him over $6mil now? Our athletic department brings in a shite load of money. What's an extra $4mil each of the next 3 years?

Alabama could easily go up to 10 million a year. But after that is the return worth the investment? Texas already has a hard time selling 5 million a year to their administration, and that was after winning a title in 2005 and competing for them in 2008 and 2009. How are they going to sell 10+ million a year to those same administrators. Regardless, the only place he's going is Lake Burton in Georgia.
