A few more years of the Rob Vaughn era of Alabama baseball have been guaranteed.

Yea Alabama, the university NIL collective, announced Tuesday night that, while financial terms remain subject to approval by The Board of Trustees, appropriate members have been notified of the proposed terms and conditions for a contract extension with Vaughn.

In two seasons, Vaughn has continued Alabama’s NCAA Tournament appearance streak and compiled a 74-42 overall record with the Crimson Tide, highlighted by the program’s first 40-plus win regular season since 2002 this spring.

“It means everything, to be honest with you,” Vaughn told Yea Alabama.

What does baseball coach Rob Vaughn currently get paid at the University of Alabama?

Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne told Yea Alabama that Vaughn has been “an incredible addition” to the university’s coaches and UA is “thrilled to reach an agreement to keep him and his family in Tuscaloosa for years to come.”

When Vaughn was hired in June 2023, he signed a five-year contract for $900,000 annually.

“He went and hired a young coach that had never one time coached in this area, this part of the country, that had never coached in this league, and gave me an opportunity. And I have felt from the second I stepped here super indebted to him for doing that. I never took that lightly,” Vaughn said of Byrne. “I felt like I had to wake up every day and prove Greg right.”

The Crimson Tide’s 2025 season ended on Saturday in an NCAA regionals against No. 16 national seed Southern Miss.
