Nick Saban received a new contract Tuesday, which should finalize the contracts of the Alabama football staff for the 2022 season.
With an extension through the 2029 season approved by the compensation committee for the University of Alabama System Board of Trustees, Saban surpasses Georgia's Kirby Smart as the highest-paid public school football coach in the country.
Saban will make $10.695 million in base salary, talent fee and completion benefit for 2022. That does not include incentive bonuses. His previous agreement was for $9.9 million in 2022.
Fifteen coaches and staffers in the program received new deals back in April. Crimson Tide assistant coaches, not including special assistants Sal Sunseri and Drew Svoboda, will make a total of $8.36 million in 2022.
Here's a look at what each Alabama coach will make this season in salary, not including incentive bonuses, along with notes of those who recently received raises or extensions.
