Alabama has agreed to extend its coach's contract with coach Kalen DeBoer through 2033, with an annual salary of $12.5 million, a $2 million raise from what he was scheduled to make this season. The extension was announced at a trustee compensation meeting and was added late to the meeting's agenda.
