I bet if all the big time bama boosters got together they could find 70 mill to keep him.

This. And it wouldn't take "all the big time Bama boosters", either. There would be less then 5 phone calls needed.

When they were firing Shula there was a "pass the hat" campaign to try to raise his $4M buyout. The campaign raised $16M in 3 days and one booster even said he would commit the full $4M if the right replacement was hired.
