Because here's the deal, the top coaches in college football are actually underpaid. You heard me right. Nick Saban is the best bargain in sports. Nick Saban isn't overpaid, everyone else who isn't as good as Nick Saban is overpaid. Saban's salary lifts the ceiling and the floor for college football coaches everywhere. Saban's success has been worth tens of millions of dollars in additional compensation to coaches who aren't as good at their jobs as he is.

Also interesting for the reference to David Shaw, who is left out of a lift of ten college coaches who could take a decidedly average Big5 program (Illinois, given as an example), and turn it into a winner year in and year out, like Saban at Alabama, because, "I think [Shaw] and Stanford are uniquely suited to one another and I'm not sure Shaw's success would translate as well at other schools."
