The University of Alabama and Nick Saban have agreed to terms on a contract extension, according to Kirk Herbstreit of ESPN.

The two sides agreed to a multi-year deal on Friday that will keep Saban in Tuscaloosa after a week of speculation that the coach may be interested if the job were to open up at the University of Texas.
