For the first time in three years, changes are coming to Nick Saban's contract.

The University of Alabama board of trustee's compensation committee will meet Tuesday to approve new deals for Saban, his six returning assistant coaches, the three new ones and Scott Cochran. The initial contract for new athletics director Greg Byrne is also up for approval.

Saban's last contract refresh came in 2014 when total compensation moved to $6.9 million a year through the 2021 season. That would leave him with five seasons remaining on the deal.

Jim Harbaugh was the highest paid coach in the country last season, according to USA Today's salary database. The Michigan coach made $9 million in 2016.

Alabama's assistants ranked third in salaries last year, according to USA Today's separate database for tracking that pay. The nine on-field assistant coaches made $5.3 million combined. LSU was No. 1 with $5.8 million.

Each of the returning assistant coaches got pay bumps after winning the national title in 2015.
