Nick Saban’s salary in his new role with Alabama athletics is official.
The retired Alabama football coach will now make $500,000.04 for his annual salary at a monthly rate of $41,666.67, according to payroll documents The Tuscaloosa News obtained through an open records request.
According to the form, in his position, this salary is part of a 40-hour work week. The new role officially began March 1.
His employee class changed and is in a different department, while his “title/rank” went from “head coach” to “professional.”
Last season, Saban was the highest-paid public-school coach in college football, earning $11.41 million from Alabama.
Saban retired in January after 17 seasons coaching the Crimson Tide. Kalen DeBoer was hired as his replacement. Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne described Saban’s role as an “adviser.” Saban now has an office at Bryant-Denny Stadium instead of the Mal Moore Athletic Facility, where football is housed.
In retirement from coaching, Saban will also be part of ESPN’s College GameDay. As an analyst for ESPN, Saban has and will take part in other coverage, too, such as the NFL Draft and SEC Media Days.
