Well, I heard folks talkin’ ’bout that Kirby Smart fella, the big-shot football coach. They say he’s makin’ a whole heap of money. Makes my head spin, it does. That’s what this here’s about, his salary, how much money he’s gettin’.
Now, that Kirby Smart, he’s coachin’ them Georgia Bulldogs. Good team, them Bulldogs. He must be doin’ somethin’ right ’cause they payin’ him more than anyone else in that football world. I heard it’s a Kirby Smart salary thing, somethin’ like that. They talkin’ big numbers, millions and millions. Lord have mercy!
They say he signed some paper, some kinda contract, for 10 years. That’s a long time, ain’t it? Ten years of gettin’ paid more than a body can count. He’s a lucky one, that Kirby. He must be some kinda football genius. And that paper, it’s worth, they say, $112.5 million! Can you believe that? I sure can’t. $112.5 million! It’s more money than I ever seen in my whole life, and he’s gettin’ paid that for coachin’ football. They call it the Kirby Smart contract.
And that ain’t all, not by a long shot. They say it’s even more now. They upped it, gave him even more money! Now it’s $13 million every year. That means he gets $13 million each year for ten years. Imagine what all you could do with that money. It’s like a dream. And that makes him the one gettin’ the most money for coachin’ in the whole country. It is the biggest Kirby Smart salary number.
- He’s gettin’ $13 million a year.
- That’s for 10 years, all the way to 2031, whatever that means.
- He’s the highest-paid coach. Ever.
- His contract is for $112.5 million. Then it becomes $130 million.
And get this, they talkin’ ’bout somethin’ called a “buyout.” Sounds like somethin’ from one of them fancy stores. But they say his buyout is $118.1 million. I don’t rightly know what that means, but it sounds like a whole lot of money to me. Sounds like if someone wants him to coach for them, they gotta pay that much. I’m talkin’ ’bout the Kirby Smart buyout. Goodness gracious.
Now, I don’t know much ’bout football, but I know that’s a lot of money. You could buy a whole lot of land with that kinda money. You could buy a whole town! And he’s just coachin’ football. They say he’s worth $50 million. Can you believe that, $50 million? That’s his, what they call, Kirby Smart net worth.
Some other coaches, they ain’t makin’ nearly as much. One fella, a coach named Andy Reid, he’s makin’ $20 million a year, but he’s coachin’ them professional teams. He’s got three of them Super Bowl things, whatever those are. Still, it is not as big as Kirby Smart salary. He is the biggest.
Then there’s them other coaches workin’ with Kirby. One’s gettin’ $450,000, another’s gettin’ $825,000, and another one’s gettin’ $1.3 million. That’s a lot, but it ain’t nothin’ compared to what Kirby’s gettin’. And a high school coach only makes $39,371. That is way less than Kirby Smart salary.
I heard someone say the average money someone makes with Kirby Smart salary is $55.18 an hour. But I don’t think that is right. $55.18 an hour is nothing for a big shot like Kirby Smart. It should be more. Anyway, it is still a lot of money.
Well, that’s all I know ’bout that Kirby Smart and his money. It’s a lot to take in, ain’t it? Just goes to show, if you’re good at somethin’, folks will pay you a pretty penny for it. Even if it’s just throwin’ a ball around and yellin’ at people. But that Kirby Smart salary, that’s somethin’ else. That’s for sure. It is a lot of money.
