The next in a long line of former AU coaches on payroll.
Alabama didn't pay buyouts to the coaches they fired before Saban? Actually, which former SEC coaches weren't paid buyouts? You are aware most SEC coaches don't retire, right? That's how the business works. You just hope it's not another $21 mil buyout.

Coaches??? Plural??? And you're asking if the other guy is "aware"? How many coaches do you think we fired before Saban???
Shula's buyout was $4m...which was offset by his NFL salary. We paid him about a half million a year for maybe 4 years.
Mike Price was fired for cause and received nothing.
Dennis Franchione resigned to go to Texas A&M.
Mike Dubose "resigned" and was only making about $231,000 annually at the end. They did pay to settle the sexual harassment lawsuit, but I'm not aware of any buyout they paid Dubose.
Gene Stallings retired.
Bill Curry resigned to go to Kentucky.
Ray Perkins resigned to go to Tampa Bay.
Where are all these coaches we fired??
edit: that's all you've got...a drive-by downvote?

Saban has been at Alabama for nearly 15 years. Coaching contracts were not completely insane in 2007, but trending that way. I’m not even sure buyouts were remotely done like they are now. And they certainly weren’t as astronomical.
Shula got a buyout of $4 million total. That would have ended sometime in 2011 if it wasn’t a negotiated lump sum or offset by his subsequent NFL employment. But I don’t even remember. Regardless, it’s not something Alabama has had to deal with. Ever. Not the way some programs are being hamstrung these days.
