NCAAF LOOK: CFB fans share hysterical reactions to Nick Saban’s contract extension
College football fans around the country know that for as long as Nick Saban is the head coach at Alabama, the Crimson Tide will be competing for a national title.
While some non-Alabama fans enjoy witnessing greatness and a legendary head coach, others cannot wait for Saban to retire.
Bad news for those of you that fall under the latter. He’s got at least eight more seasons. Saban and Alabama agreed on a contract extension through the 2030 season that includes a raise in pay, which makes him, once again, the highest-paid coach in college football.
A lot of fans took to Twitter to voice their pleasure, or frustration, with the news of the contract extension.
Saban's one step ahead of Kirby
Nick Saban is once again the highest paid coach in CFB. He received a contract extension through 2030 and raise today. Average pay: $11.7 million.
Edges him ahead of Kirby Smart's new deal of $11.2 million.

This was a calculated move by Saban
So ….
Georgia winning the national championship and netting Kirby a richer contract helped earn Nick Saban a raise?
Genius. https://t.co/UgmdI1hCr2

This is certainly a take
Honestly for having 7 national championships, Nick Saban might be getting underpaid. https://t.co/xMGQcl1DP0
