MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Alabama coach Nick Saban will make nearly $7 million a year through 2022.

Saban has led the Crimson Tide to three national championships in seven seasons.
Trustees also approved details on the contract for new offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin. The former Tennessee and Southern California coach will make $2.074 million over three years.
