Highest paid college football coaches

Nick Saban – Alabama Whether you like Saban as a person or not, the one thing we can all agree on is that he is one of the best college football coaches in the nation. His leadership helped create a quick turnaround at Alabama and helped them end the national championship drought last season. As Saban continues to focus on winning a third national championship in his career, he will earn $3.9 million during the upcoming season. While the rumor mills continue to build about Saban wanting to return to the NFL, if he continues to find success with the Tide, in a couple of years Saban could find himself at the top of this list.

Recruiting Q&A with Andrew Bone

Jadeveon Clowney visited Alabama last Thursday. Alabama has made up a lot of ground and appears a serious player for his signature. I think if Alabama lands a prospect like Trey DePries before the season he can definitely help with recruiting guys like Tony Steward or Curtis Grant. Keep an eye out for David Reeves from Greensboro High School. He is 6-6, 250-pounds and plays tight end. He attended the South Showcase Combine this past Friday. Look for more news about him and several other athletes who had a great combine. [More]

Coaches discuss what makes the SEC the best

Meyer: Top to bottom, this league is brutal. Just some great, great programs. When you play great people, you get exposed. You miss a tackle against a really good player, it goes 70 yards. You miss a tackle against a not so great player, it goes 12 yards. It seems like Florida is the hunted most often. That’s the way it is. There are not many stadiums we walk into where that’s not the game of the year. One thing about this league, there are a lot of hunters. Spurrier: Everybody is expected to win, and if you’re not winning, what the fans want to see is change. They’ve got to see change. Even if change doesn’t bring wins, you’ve got to hope something different is going to happen. And that’s the nature of sports. If it’s not going very well, you have to get a new coach in there—no matter what he did maybe five, six years ago. I remember seeing Larry Brown one time, and I told him, “You’re the smartest guy I’ve ever seen. You go somewhere and take a bad team and get it up at the top or near the top.” And he doesn’t stay there too much longer after he gets to the top. [More]

Croyle not content as Kansas City Chiefs backup

Brodie Croyle isn’t ready to accept being just a backup quarterback in the NFL, although that’s where he will find himself when the Kansas City Chiefs open training camp next month. Entering his fifth season, Croyle, 27, is slated to back up Matt Cassel. “You’re not ever content being a backup,” Croyle said Friday after working out for 30 minutes at the new D1 Sports Training and The­rapy facility, which he partly owns, in Homewood near Brookwood Medical Center. “Once you play, once you’ve started, you always have that drive. If you lose that drive, you’re probably not in love with game anymore. Obviously, I want to start, but I’m in a good position there.” [More]
