Apparently not everyone is on board with Gus Malzahn’s new contract.

The Auburn coach agreed to new 7-year, $49 million deal after the 2017 SEC Championship, which still isn’t quite on the level of Nick Saban’s $11.125 million that he made in 2017.

Still, though, some believe that despite Auburn beating Alabama and ultimately earning the SEC West title, the gap between Saban and Malzahn’s salaries should be wider.

USA Today college football handicapper Danny Sheridan is part of that crowd. He joined the Paul Finebaum Show for a full hour on Thursday, and initially, he offered up a somewhat sarcastic take on that.

“If Malzahn is getting 49 million, Saban oughta get a little under 4 billion,” Sheridan said on the Paul Finebaum Show.

Sheridan did preface that by saying that he didn’t have a problem with Malzahn making $49 million, even though Sheridan also pointed out that Malzahn lost 4 games last year. His comment was more about praising Saban’s worth.

But then Finebaum pressed Sheridan and asked him to come up with a realistic number for Saban.

“Alabama could afford it, and if I thought he was gonna leave and I was the athletic director $25 million,” Sheridan said. “And that’d be a drop in the bucket compared to what he brings in.”

Sheridan believes that even though Saban is the highest-paid coach in college football, he’s still underpaid. Alabama’s football program was responsible for $108 million in 2017 alone.

Maybe Sheridan’s got a point.
