Georgia head coach Kirby Smart signed the largest contract in the history of college football in July — a 10 year, $112.5 million deal that will run through 2031.
The Athens Banner-Hearld obtained the contract under the Freedom of Information Act this week, and we now have an understanding of how much money Smart will make per season through 2031.
Smart will be college football’s highest-paid head coach in 2022, with a salary of $10.25 million, per Marc Weiszer.
(Scroll down to see salary year-by-year).
The deal includes:
- $100,000 bonus for SEC East title
- $300,000 bonus for SEC title
- $500,000 bonus for making the College Football Playoff
- $1 million bonus for winning the national title
- 50 hours of non-business private jet flight time per year for family or guests (estimated at a $130,000 value in 2018)
Via Weiszer:
Smart would receive 100 percent of the total unpaid contract through Dec. 31, 2031 if he is fired without cause anytime in the first five years.
If termination happened on or after Jan. 1, 2027, 85 percent of his total compensation would be owed to Smart.
Here’s a look at Smart’s yearly salary over the course of his record contract, plus the difficult nonconference games Georgia will have to navigate to reach the College Football Playoff:
