Winning pays.

Alabama football coaches can tell you that much. Salaries for the nine assistants and Nick Saban grew 40.1 percent from the since the Crimson Tide won two national titles in three seasons. The assistants alone will make 45.1 percent more this year compared to 2009 while Saban was bumped 36.3 percent.

These figures include just the base salaries for the 10 coaching positions that have change hands a few times in some cases.

In all, the 10 were paid $6.7 million in 2009. After yesterday’s contract amendments, the same 10 positions will earn $9.4 million in 2012...

The coaches salaries have gone up but the profit off increased income for the atlectic department has skyrocketed. CNS and his coaching staff are a wise investment. We need to keep them happy and in Tuscaloosa.

I think that is exactly the thinking that went into it.  This is Alabama football.  Just win.
