The University of Georgia is finalizing a long-term contract extension for head football coach Kirby Smart, making him one of the highest-paid head coaches in all of college football. 

Since capturing the school's first national championship in over four decades back in January, Smart and Georgia have taken care of the coaching staff, with several assistant coaches receiving raises so far this offseason, all the while Smart's agent, Jimmy Sexton, and Georgia were ironing out the details for his extension. 

The 46-year-old head coach entering his seventh season as a head coach is receiving his second contract extension. In May 2018, Smart signed a seven-year extension worth $49 million. On average, Smart made around $7 million a year, making him the sixth-highest paid coach within the Southeastern Conference. 

Under the new agreement, Coach Smart's annual base salary and supplemental compensation for the upcoming 2022 campaign will be $10,250,000 with annual increases, culminating at $12,250,000 for the 2031 season.
