Back in '99, after a successful season for Mich State, but before the "Citrus Bowl" he bailed for a job at LSU.
Struck me as disloyal and classless.
Also, the few times I saw him on the traditional "coach show" for local TV, I don't recall him smiling.
Following has a bunch on his contract at "Bama"
Op-Extra Guest Columnist - The Throwback - Nick Saban’s Fine Print - Series - NYTimes.com:
snippet - much more in the piece
"Nick Saban also gets bonuses if his players do what they should presumably be doing as students at the University of Alabama:actually graduate. But since we all know that doesn’t happen nearly as much as it should, Nick Saban gets a little push. If the team’s graduation rate is in the top fifty percent of teams in the conferencence, he gets $50,000; if the graduation rate is in the top 25 percent, he gets $100,000."
