Nick Saban on coaching through the end of his contract in 2030: 'I feel like a young man'

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Fresh off a new $93.6 million contract extension that runs through the 2030 season and makes him college football's highest-paid coach, Alabama's Nick Saban told ESPN on Thursday he plans on coaching for as long as the Crimson Tide will have him.

Saban, who turns 71 in October, has won six national championships at Alabama and said he's as committed as ever to adapting and evolving regardless of how much college football continues to change over the next few years.

"First of all, I feel like a young man, aight? So let's clear that up," Saban said laughing.
