How much the NFL power brokers and insiders thought of him and coveted him as a NFL Head Coach. I seem to recall he was offered the Colts and and Giants job before and turned them down.
Skip had nothing to do with Saban's hire. Skip was the Baseball coach at that time not the AD. Joe Dean was the one that wanted to low ball him. Dean told Emmert that I think I can get him for 900,000 a year. Emmert told him no, you give him our best offer, and that was 1.2 million I think. At that point Dean was a lame duck AD and vertually had no real power. Emmert was the power behind the hire and even lead the interviews

This is all correct.
