Hypothetically speaking, how much would UT offer Saban?

This is not a flame, nor is it another "I hope he gone" post.

I'm genuinely curious, how much does the SECR think Texas would have to cough up to be a legitimate option for Saban?

And don't give me "there is no amount of money," everything has a price.





Sorry if this has been discussed at length. I searched but did not find.

I would imagine in the 7.5-8.5 million$ range. The NFL offers that type of cash to guys like Chip Kelly.

They could offer him 10 and Alabama would match it. They could offer him 15 and Alabama would match it. Yes, Texas has more money but football means a lot more to UA than it does to UT. He's not leaving but if he did it wouldn't be because of money.

Wasn't there a thread earlier that said 10 million was on the table?

I think they'd have to go as high as 10 million

Saban at UTX would have more lucrative opportunities for corporate speaking and endorsements ---e.g dell computer & other big companies

Alabama-- the state--has one Fortune 500 company HQ

the 10M/12M type of dollar figures in base salary could cause some academic backlash at UTX...

Not hypothetical.
Apparently, it's 10M a year for the next 4. What my Tx friends told me.

I remember when rumors were swirling when he was leaving LSU to go to Miami that LSU was offering him 4 million to stay. Everyone laughed at that time, saying no coach was worth that.

I was told that 7-8 million per year will get UT in the door to talk to Saban...
