Alabama head coach Nick Saban shouldn't expect to appear on Terry Bradshaw's Christmas card list after this one.
The 68-year-old former quarterback and four-time Super Bowl champion didn't mince words on Monday when confronted with the idea of Saban's contract extension, according to Andrew Astleford of SEC Country. Bradshaw drew a comparison to Louisiana Tech, his alma mater, in illustrating how ridiculous he thinks Saban's yearly salary is.
"I understand Saban, that’s your coach. What’s he making, $12 million now? That is the entire athletic budget at Louisiana Tech. The entire budget. That’s shameful! Shameful!" Bradshaw said.
Saban is set to earn $11.125 million next season after signing an extension on May 2, making him the highest paid head coach in college football. The 65-year-old has delivered four national championships to Alabama during his tenure, along with nine consecutive seasons with 10 or more wins.
