Gil Brandt ‏@Gil_Brandt 2m

Just told by source Nick Saban in contract negotiations w #Alabama for extension in $7M/year range.

 

[Coal Harbour]

Well, that would suck.

 

[bigbird]

But what about our supposed 11.5m offer...

 

[JeffreyKahn]

"How can I get some more Twitter followers..."

"Oh I know! I'll just say that Saban is in contract talks. Then add a source!"

 

[riloh05]

is this to save face if bama gets money whipped? this could be a hey look we tried to retain him but he left anyway type of thing???

 

[Shaunsters]

7 million a year? Haha

His ext with Bama from bama source was 5 years 40. Which is 8 a year. I call BS

 

[DizzG]

he already HAS an extension on the table. this isnt new news

even the Bama sites mentioned this at least a week ago

 

[HornNdriftwood]

Wait, I thought the extension had been sitting on his desk for weeks?

 

[LongviewLobo01]

Who in the hell could be Brandt's source. And why is HE the one reporting it and not any of the hundreds of other Bama people who have a lot more interaction with the program?

Was thinking the same thing...hell he's about to be 81 and if I'm not mistaken he is from the Big 10 area.

Its still there. The Alabama people just think $7mil is greater than $11.5mil. Remember, we're talking Alabama.

Those good old Alabama boys have already taken Saban to the mill on a real estate deals. My friends y'all have a great week

 

[Skolodn]

He has had an extension in front of him from Bama for several weeks that was increased last Friday. He has yet to acknowledge or sign either. The one from lady Friday was north of $8 million. This is pure crap.

Exactly! The negotation is now for less than the extension he was offered by Bama. This guy is full of it.

Paul Finebaum tweeted the same thing, but Finebaum's job depends on Saban staying at Bama!

To be honest, Finebaum just retweeted what Brandt initially tweeted.

Man I'm starting to get some heat from crazy bammers. Already had to block two.

I think he just retweeted Brandt and said "That's it!"

Honestly I didn't even know that old goat was still alive. This contract has been out for near a week now and Saban STILL hasn't signed it.

People are late to the party on this.

Gene Stallings and Brandt are very close and Stallings, by virtue of winning a MNC at Bama 20 yrs ago and being a Bear Bryant disciple is still plugged in. Stallings is undoubtably feeding him info
