Saban could easily do this, and you bring up a great point. He could use his ridiculous leverage, and extract every last penny he could get. He could make the university feel sick about how much they had to pay him.
This is what pro athletes do all the time. It's classless.
Nick Saban isn't this kind of person. He sees the value in community, and building good relationships with everyone in it.
He wants a legacy of class, not of a selfish prick just in it for the money. It's like Ali vs. Mayweather .

He wants a legacy
Lots of good answers here.
Like CrimsonClover mentioned, I'll go with legacy.
Bryant insisted his salary be $1 below that of the school’s president and kept it that way for most of his tenure, because he believed it was symbolically important.
I truly believe Saban sees Bryant's legacy all around him and wants to leave his mark in much the same way (long after he's gone). Whether he would ever admit it, he knows there will be a stadium and roadways named after him, maybe forever.
Asking for an unreasonable amount could tarnish that, and add huge expectations that even he might not be able to match.
He's got all that he could ever need for his family. IMO at this point he wants to be remembered.
