Finally leaving Alabama could not have been easy for Kirby Smart. After spending the last eight seasons as defensive coordinator for the Crimson Tide, Smart had a great thing going for himself and his family while serving under Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa. That being said, Georgia certainly did everything they could to make the decision easier for their new head coach.

According to Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald, Smart landed a contract full of incentive laden clauses and a number of perk packages. Smart’s 2016 salary of $3.75 million has been known for some time, however complete knowledge of the contract’s breakdown had yet to be revealed until this time.

Smart will make $2.27 million for media compensation, $1.08 million for equipment endorsements and will have a base salary of $400,000 in 2016. If Georgia were to win the national championship in 2016, Smart would cash in with a $1 million dollar bonus. In total, Smart is eligible to receive $1.6 million in bonuses.

Georgia fans don’t have to worry about Smart jumping ship anytime soon either, as the coach would owe $3.75 million to the school if he left within one calendar year of coming to Athens. Conversely, if the school were to fire Smart within one calendar year, it would owe Smart $13.5 million. Both figures reduce annually during the length of the total six-year contract.

Smart was also given the power to work with the athletic department in regards to scheduling future opponents, however the school’s athletic director has final say on all scheduling decisions.

Other perks for Smart include free travel and expenses for his family to every Georgia game – both home and away games, the use of a 25 box seat for every home game, as well as six tickets to every game including conference championship games and any bowl appearances. Smart also will receive a paid membership to the Athens Country Club.

Without ever serving as a head coach before, Smart certainly landed himself a fantastic deal for his first crack at the job.
