"Tide ready to make Saban highest-paid college football coach TUSCALOOSA — The University of Alabama is prepared to offer Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban approximately $4 million per year to coach the Crimson Tide, likely making him the highest-paid college football coach.
Representatives of Alabama and representatives of Saban have agreed on most major points of a contract, two sources close to the situation said, but it is uncertain whether Saban would accept the job if Alabama extends a formal offer. A source close to Saban said he is considering the job.
Alabama officials hope to hear from Saban’s side early this week regarding the coach's intention."
