Saban donates a cool million...


Were I Coach Saban, I think I would request it to not be named after me, but I'm not taking issue with him there. That's a hefty chunk of change no matter who you are. That's a bit more than 10% of his annual salary pre-tax. That's a hefty commitment.

Saban, despite what a lot of us may say from time to time, is a damned good coach and a fine man. He may come off as callous and hell-bent on winning at all costs, but I haven't heard any of his former players sing anything but his praises.

You don't have the kind of success he has had by being a dick wad.

Much respect for Coach Saban for continuing to do so much for not only the university that hired him, but for the surrounding community as well.

He was a contributor.
There may have been other backers who wanted it named for him.
Anyway... it benefits all.
Thanks Coach.

Definitely help his tax liability, I'm sure he has some massive income from previous investments. Still a nice guy, I don't think anyone has ever attacked his character.
