I keep hearing stupid things like , make Nick Saban say no, or offer him something he can’t turn down, like $20- 25/mil a year and LSU is Saban’s first love. What makes people think Nick is interested in coaching for money? The reasons he left Alabama are still in play. His net worth is private, but an article in Forbes 6-8 months ago pegged his net worth nearing a $billion. His business partner is now a billionaire and Nick isn’t that far behind. That partnership, although the first dealership was in Baton Rouge, started in 2013 and had nothing to do with LSU. It had more to do with Nick’s then proximity to the Mercedes Benz plant. They are doing $2 billion a year in automotive sales and have branched into medical supplies and Kentucky bourbon.
The common lay person talking head I guess don’t realize what Coach does in his ‘spare ‘ time. But I grant you, 20-25mm isn’t an amount it would take for Nick to leave the GameDay set. Football has become a hobby, business is his main business now.
