Okay, so I was messing around online, just killing time, and I stumbled upon this thing about the University of Georgia’s head football coach, Kirby Smart. I got curious and decided to dig a little deeper, you know, just to see what all the fuss was about.
I started by looking up who this Kirby Smart guy even is. Turns out, he’s a pretty big deal in the college football world. He’s been the head coach at UGA since 2016, I read, and they’ve been doing pretty well under him, from what I could gather. But it wasn’t his success that got me interested, but his salary!
I got to searching for his contract details, and wow, that’s where things got interesting. It’s not like I regularly look up coaches’ contracts, but I got caught up in this one.
- First, I found a few articles mentioning a contract extension from last May. Apparently, he signed a new 10-year deal.
- Then I saw the numbers, and my jaw dropped. We’re talking about a $130 million contract! Man, that’s a ton of money.
- I mean, I knew college coaches made good money, but this was way more than I expected.
The Highest-Paid Coach
I kept digging, just to confirm what I was seeing. Turns out, this contract makes him the highest-paid coach in college football. The highest! That’s just wild to me. I found another article that put his annual earnings at around $13.25 million. That’s per year, people!
So, I spent a good chunk of my afternoon reading about Kirby Smart and his mega-contract. It wasn’t exactly what I planned to do today, but it sure was an interesting rabbit hole to fall down. You learn something new every day, right?
