Georgia football coach Kirby Smart break silence after inking new two-years contract with…

Smart’s deal will pay him $13 million per year. Per Weiszer, that makes Smart college sports’ highest-paid public school coach. His bonus structure is also $1.775 million annually, per Weiszer.

Smart is rewarded $1.25 million if the Bulldogs win the national championship, per Weiszer. However, he’ll still get a bonus if the team loses the big game ($850,000).

If the season ends in the first round of the new 12-team College Football Playoff, Smart will receive a quarter-million. That’ll go up to a half-million with a quarterfinal exit and then $750,000 if Georgia loses in the semifinals.

Winning the SEC Championship Game brings Smart another $200,000, but even falling short there leads to $100,000.

If Smart resigns, his buyout will be $5 million if he leaves on or before Dec. 31, 2026. The number drops to $4 million if he leaves on or before Dec. 31, 2029. The figure goes down by a million each year over the next two years (2030 and 2031) before settling at $1 million with a resignation by Dec. 31, 2033.

So Smart will be well-paid through the duration of his contract, even if he doesn’t stay at UGA until the end of it. But he might have the safest job in the country right now given how well the Bulldogs have performed.
