Former UGA player Kirby Smart will now make $950,000 as Nick Saban's defensive coordinator in Tuscaloosa.
Raises for Alabama's football coaches were approved Monday by the UA Board of Trustees, driving up the price for everyone else in the process.
Of course, Nick Saban will make a killing, but it's the new assistant coach totals that could get everyone else's attention.
Tide defensive coordinator Kirby Smart will now make $950,000, while the lowest-paid Tide assistant makes $260,000.
That would rank fourth on UGA's staff last season ...
Grantham -- $750,000
Bobo ------ $325,000
Garner ---- $290,000
Olivadotti- $250,000
Ball ------ $200,000
McClendon - $200,000
Friend ---- $200,000
Lakatos --- $180,000
Lilly ----- $165,480
It should be noted that raises are due to UGA assistants, however, and have yet to finalized and announced by the school. Figures are expected to go up for Grantham, Bobo and others in the coming months, but still probably not to the kind of totals being offered by Alabama.

Regional selections were announced Monday for the NCAA gymnastics championships.
Georgia received the No. 1 seed in the Auburn Regional, and will compete at 7 p.m. (Eastern) on April 7 on The Plains in the following field ...
1. Georgia (No. 6 ranking)
2. Oregon State (No. 7)
3. Auburn (No. 18)
4. Michigan (No. 21)
5. West Virginia (No. 27)
6. Michigan State (No. 32)
That's actually a very favorable draw for UGA, which will be heavily favored to finish in the two in Auburn and advance to the NCAA championships, which begin April 20 at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga.
