The 2020-21 sports season was one of the most successful on record for the Alabama athletic department with four different teams winning conference championships, 13 teams making the postseason, and one team national championship in football.

Many of those coaches were rewarded with contract extensions at Monday's Board of Trustees meeting for the University of Alabama systems. 

Nick Saban's contract was extended through the 2028 season with total annual compensation of  $11.5 million in 2029. 

Eleven other coaches received contract extensions, and new football tight ends and special teams coach Drew Svoboda had his contract details announced. 

All contracts were met with unanimous approval by the board of trustees.
