Raise pushes Saban to top spot on coaching pay scale

Nick Saban will indeed be the highest-paid football coach in the country in 2012.

According to the amended contract, Saban will be paid a “talent fee” of $5,071,666.66 plus a base salary of $245,000, which means his total base compensation for the 2012 season will be just over $5.3 million.

That total will trump Mack Brown, who was the highest-paid coach in 2011 but will make just over $5.2 million from Texas this year.
