In general, shite has gotten way out of hand.

I'd have to do the research, but I'm pretty confident that there are CEO's of companies that generate much more revenue than Alabama, Inc., who make half of less than Saban's salary.

It is the market, market drives the price.

Is it crazy on the surface? Yes

If I was Alabama would I have paid him that much? Yes, but... Alabama football would have huge revenues regardless of the coach, the president wants the school to grow (Auburn has a 25,000 enrollment limit) and football helps that.

Where will it end? I have zero idea...

Enjoying your Chris... err Holiday break? It must be tough for you being away from those precious snow flakes - unable to make hand turkeys and color holiday trees.

Here's a clue Corky, I don't give a damn if every corporation on the planet makes more than the football program at Alabama generates. Furthermore I don't care if Saban makes more money than all those corporate CEO's. The gist of my statement and many other posts in this thread is we're tired of being spoon fed the pablum of socialism.

Interesting point no doubt and very likely true. For arguments sake most big time successful companies aren't as dependent on their CEO as a football program is of their head coach, especially one like Saban.

If I’m not mistaken his staffs at Alabama and LSU have had very little in common personnel wise, he is the common denominator. Watching Dooley and to some degree Muschamps fail you can tell he is the brain behind the operation.
