Guess how much the Alabama coach made 20 years ago?
I happened to see an article about the retirement of former Alabama coach Mike Dubose. He has been coaching high school ball for a few years in Alabama. Out of curiosity I looked up how much he was making when he was fired in 2004. $525,000. Saban currently makes a base of almost $10,000,000.
Now that's inflation.
Now that's inflation.

Adjusted for inflation Dubose would be making around $900,000.00.
He was overpaid.

He is now coaching high school football.coachinwaiting wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 8:01 pm Adjusted for inflation Dubose would be making around $900,000.00.

Still, I guess that is better than a toll booth operator or a turkey inseminator.

Wow! I would've guessed $1.5M a year. I guess that speaks to how big the money in football has gotten.Mrcommodore wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 7:35 pm I happened to see an article about the retirement of former Alabama coach Mike Dubose.

What is interesting is that by coaching HS ball in Alabama, it continued funding his retirement through the Retirement System of Alabama, which applies to all state employees
