While new head coaches like LSU head coach Brian Kelly and USC’s Lincoln Riley are signing huge contracts to make them one of the highest-paid coaches in America, neither have yet to win a national championship like Alabama head coach Nick Saban.

The SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum appeared on “The Dan Patrick Show” and said that Saban is worth $100 million.

“He should (get a raise),” Finebaum told Patrick. “Nick Saban is worth $100 million a year forget for 10 years. What he’s done for not only college football but for his school and for his league.”

Nick Saban makes close to $10 million a year, is a part-owner of multiple Mercedes dealerships and is a spokesperson for Aflac, so Saban hasn’t done badly for himself since becoming the head coach at Alabama.
