ATLANTA — Not that he wasn’t already well-compensated, but Georgia’s Kirby Smart now ranks among the highest paid college football coaches in the country.
UGA on Thursday — right in the middle of the final session of SEC Media Days — announced it had finalized the long-awaited contract extension for the Bulldogs’ seventh-year coach. The 10-year deal is worth $112.5 million and will keep Smart on the Georgia sideline through the 2031 season.
“Mary Beth, my family and I are excited and grateful for the extension of my agreement with The University of Georgia,” Smart said in a statement released by the school. “This is home for us, our roots run deep here. My commitment to this university and our football program is unwavering.”
