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.

Bryant-Saban Stadium. Denny keeps the chimes.
Saban is literally the only coach in the SEC that's earned his salary. The rest should send him Christmas cards thanking him for their ridiculously dumb ADs that foolishly continue to overpay and agree to ridiculous buyout clauses that don't even make any sense.
