Spending someone else’s money ... Liberals have always tended to regard the laws of economics as optional. I understand he despises Rush too.
“Think about it. I could use a little bit of that money to kind of help pay off my trailer house.” “
My trailer house? Is that your hunting blind? Just think of how arrogant this pissant is in making that kind of stupid statement of hate and jealousy from a person who makes a cool 1 Mil a year for doing a show one day a week during an 18 game season and all he has to show for himself is a trailer house that he is still making payments on? Arrogant piece of $#!t.

Meanwhile, if Bradshaw was playing today at at the level he did back in the 70’s he’d be “earning” around $20 million per year. So numbers are all relative. Not a fan of either Saban or ‘Bama, but if winning championships means that much to the university and they have the money (sorry Louisiana Tech isn’t in that position, Terry) it’s their business.
Sounds like Phil Robertson’s backup is having a snit.
Phyllis won my heart when she got on air and called Colin Cowherd Colin Cowterd.
Who am I kidding. I liked her way before that.
The best 15 minutes I ever had listening to Gine sum was when he had Pat Dye on and he just let him ramble about Bear Bryant for about 15 minutes.
Nick Saban might be the most beloved man in the entire State of Alabama.
NOT the entire state.
He does not even know Saban. Saban is an incredibly generous man with his time and money and has personally helped steer many wayward boys in the right direction. He’s very private about what he has done. And it is true that he does not suffer fools well, especially lazy reporters who ask banal questions. But Bradshaw is out of line with his criticism. He is beloved in Alabama, except by the Auburn fans, which is no small minority. But they generally respect his talent as a coach.
It’s that unfair vicious cycle. The better your recruits, the more you win. The more you win, the better recruits you are able to entice to play for you. So more winning.
Everything he says about Saban may be true, but he is STILL worth every penny they pay him. Urban Meyer too.
College football: The spectacle of big black unpaid men battering their bodies while white men get rich. Some things never change in the South. The college football game is the modern plantation.
The entire manner in which professionalized college sports is conducted is shameful.
I mean, who cares if the university’s degree actually means the holder learned something for his massive pile of debt - but, by golly, the football team, now THAT is serious business.
Absolutely no employee of any public college or university should be paid more than the president of the university. A college coach’s success is almost totally dependent on how good he/she is at kissing eighteen year old high school athletes asses—period. The X and O’s are easy.
If universities were restricted to head coach salary caps equal to or less than the president’s salary Saban and his ilk would still take numbers for the jobs because they couldn’ earn as much anywhere else. Coaching football isn’t that difficult. Operating on the very fringes of NCAA regs without getting caught when you cross the line—now that is the difficult part.
Contrary to what the NCAA says college sports is not about education. How many reports have you seen revealing the fate of the kids that didn’t turn pro and left the college with no degree or a degree in unemployment? I don’t recall any. There are uncounted thousands of them that received little or no additional earning power for their time spent on the university athletic rosters. But the Sabans are paid annually more than the professors can earn in an entire career yet it is all about education.$
Bradshaw is right... College coaches shouldn’t be making and enormous amount of money. There isn’t a coach in the NFL (Belichick included) who makes $11 million a year. The NCAA has been derelict in their duty to govern college sports. All college coaches should be paid a standard base salary... Not a whopping $11 million, that would even the playing field and eliminate the competitive bidding for has-been NFL coaches.
If Saban had remained at Miami would he be making $11,000,000 today? If not then the NCAA and the state legislatures have been derelict in their duty.

It is amazing how media can shape a story, perpetuate it and it be wrong. It is also amazing how jealousy and ignorance just pour out of the mouths of fools.
Alabama invested it’s future in a coach back in 2007. They believed that investment would have a large payoff, so they invested heavily.
In 10 years, Saban is 119-19 overall. He has won 4 National Championships and 5 SEC Championships. But that doesn’t even tell the whole story.
In 2008 Alabama was undefeated lost to eventual National Champion Florida in the SEC Championship Game.
In 2013, Alabama was undefeated and lost to Auburn on the last play of the game in the last regular season game.
In 2014, Alabama lost Ohio St in the National Semi-Final Playoff Game.
In 2016, Alabama lost to Clemson with 2 seconds left in the game.
They have been playing for national titles in virtually every season.
Here is one more astounding statistic: Of the hundreds of athletes Saban has signed, only 2 do not have National Title rings. Those two were a JUCO signee and a graduate transfer. EVERY HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER SIGNED BY SABAN HAS AT LEAST ONE NATIONAL TITLE RING.
The 101,000 seat stadium is sold out for every game before every season.
The Athletic Department turn enough profit to return several MILLION dollars to the University general fund every year.
What Terry Bradshaw is too stupid, or jealous, to realize that this is a Return on Investment.
As one who grew up watching the ‘70’s Steelers and a die-hard Steelers fan who now lives in Alabama, I think TB is wrong. TB definitely has issues with coaches who are not player’s coaches or friendly with the media (like his old coach, Chuck Noll). Furthermore, Saban is worth what the market will bear. I’m sure if Alabama didn’t pay him enough, Texas would try to poach him.
I’m just disappointed Saban isn’t coaching Auburn.
War Eagle!
I don’t recall that football coaches were hired to ‘like’ people. Fox is starting to screw up their football too. Buh bye.
Thomas Henderson was right about Bradshaw. He couldn’t spell “cat” if you spotted him the C and the A.
