re: Saban, who hates Bama & cant wait to leave, turned down 6 NFL jobs in offseason

But let's just say A&M is fed up with Sumlin and they are looking to make a splash. They call up Jimmy Sexton and he tells them Saban wants $10m/ year. They probably say yes

Sexton could just call Bama and say that and Bama would increase his salary to $10M/year without Saban having to move away from his lake house (in T-town & GA), move away from his business in Bham, his kids/grandkids, and without having to move his mom out of the premier sr living community in Bham and find her one in some other town.

Someone would have to start in the $12M range to get his attention and be close to the point that Bama wouldn't match, and even then that's a number they'd likely match.
