Report: Alabama financial records reveal Kalen DeBoer's annual salary is approximately $10 million

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer received a hefty pay increase to leave Washington and lead the Crimson Tide program.

According to Michael Casagrande, DeBoer received $834,978 for the month of February. No official contract details have been released yet, but that averages out to a little more than $10 million over the course of the year.

For comparison, Kalen DeBoer was making only $4.2 million last season at Washington.

DeBoer has yet to have his official contract approved by the Alabama Board of Trustees. That will take place in a future board meeting and everything will then be official.

However, based off of last month’s financial records, we can already tell approximately what DeBoer will make per year.

Whenever the full contract is released down the line it will share other details in addition to salary, including DeBoer’s buyout, incentives and more.

Kalen DeBoer was officially hired as the Alabama head coach in January, replacing legendary coach Nick Saban. DeBoer has been successful everywhere he has been. He has an overall record of 104-12, which includes leading Washington to a Pac-12 title and the national championship game last season.

Kalen DeBoer opens up on how much of a resource Nick Saban has been for him at Alabama

When Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer took over the Crimson Tide program, he vowed to regularly rely on Nick Saban for advice. A little more than a month into his tenure as the Alabama head coach, that has indeed been the case.

DeBoer joined “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning” recently and shared what his relationship with Nick Saban has been like thus far.

“He’s been great,” Kalen DeBoer said. “I think there’s been one time he hasn’t picked up the phone, and about five minutes later he called me back. He’s just been amazing.”

DeBoer isn’t the only Alabama coach who uses Saban as a resource. Assistant coaches, including defensive coordinator Kane Wommack, have reached out to Saban, too.

“Not just for me, but I know Kane Wommack and the defensive staff are excited about having continued conversations just talking ball,” DeBoer said. “We have great coaches on our staff, but you can’t help but make sure you utilize that resource and coach Saban.”

DeBoer also shared what exactly he and Saban have talked about thus far. The two have covered a variety of topics when it comes to running a program and will continue to in the coming months.

“I think a lot of the conversations have been me understanding who’s here, how things have been done. Any questions that pop up just hollering his way,” DeBoer said. “And I think as we go through the next couple of months, we’ll continue to have more of those questions just on, ‘Hey, what’s the best way? Why did you think this way? Why was this practice set up this way?’ There’s just little things that were maybe done a different way. You pick up the phone and reach out and he’s been nothing but great giving his perspective on all of it.”
