Nick Saban Total Salary Earnings: 7x National Champion Coach Has Raked In Nearly $150 Million in Salaries Alone

Nick Saban is undeniably the most popular coach on the American college circuit. Though his college career as the head man started in 1989 with the University of Toledo, he really became the poster boy when he joined the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2007. After stellar stints with the Browns and Dolphins in the NFL, Alabama managed to convince Nick Saban to come back to college football with a record $32, million 8-year contract in ‘07.

Since then, he has stuck with the Crimson Tide for 17 seasons, helping them win 6 national titles, 9 conference titles, and 10 divisional titles. His impeccable success and loyalty saw him become college football’s highest-paid coach last season when he bagged a whopping $11.4 million a year in salary. As per Forbes, his total earnings in salary with the Crimson Tide alone scales up to $124 million. When you consider the rest of his career, Saban has earned more than $150 million in salary alone. Add brand endorsements, ventures, and investments, and his career earnings go much higher.
