When a coaching staff has an undefeated season that ends with a national title, you can be sure contract extensions and/or raises are likely to follow. When that coaching staff includes Nick Saban and Alabama, it’s not a matter of if, but when.
On Monday, the Alabama board of trustees unanimously approved new extensions for Saban and several of the other head coaches/assistant coaches in Tuscaloosa, according to Michael Casagrande with AL.com.
