Kudos to his agent for getting the extra .04 annually! The school fought against that hard I imagine.

When that .04 accrues in his 401k, that's the difference between a semi comfortable retirement and living on the streets.

Well, maybe not.

Reminds me of Bud Grant for the Vikings. They paid him an annual consulting salary after he retired.

Detroit Lions wanted Grant to coach for them. The Vikings kept him happy and retired in Minnesota.

To keep fans calm. All is well.

DeBoer, OTOH

For some reason Winter Park had an on site gas pump and Bud negotiated free gas too.

I always check the time stamp on your posts. Your best are when you have crawled home at 1AM, somehow found your keyboard, and fired off a post.

And then wake up come to, in the morning and try to figure out what kind of damage I did.

I'm surprised they didn't make him Governor the day after he stepped down. He's the most powerful man in that state.

Understand at first glace, 500K may be a little eyebrow raising, but it's probably not too far off from being a fair reward.

Well deserved and worth it IMO

To me, it's the timing of it. I'd be a little upset if the legend I was replacing was still around. At least at WI, the people after Alvarez were his assistants, right? So that probably made it easier.

$500k is a good insurance plan against Saban getting restless in retirement and consulting or coaching at another SEC school.

He might even know what he’s talking about, which is nice.
