Kirby Smart is among the highest-paid college football coaches. Based on recent reporting through 2025, his total compensation is about $13.28 million per year, with a ten-year contract extension that runs through 2033 and a very large buyout. This makes him the top-paid coach in college football for the 2025 season, ahead of peers such as Ryan Day. His exact annual cash pay, bonuses, and guaranteed portions can vary year to year due to contract structure and performance incentives, but the prevailing figure cited for 2025 is roughly $13 million to $13.3 million in total compensation.
