That makes a lot more sense.

Saban's deal (eight years, $32 million) will eventually escalate past $4 million per season, while Miles is believed to have a clause in his contract guaranteeing him $1,000 more than the highest-paid SEC coach. My understanding is that Miles' clause only kicks in whenever he wins a NC. So, if he wins the NC this year, he bounces to the top. If someone else gets a higher salary after that bump, I don't think that Miles's salary goes up again unless he wins another NC subsequent to the other coach's raise. -Zeb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
