Clemson, South Carolina - Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has officially joined Georgia's Kirk Smart and Alabama's Nick Saban in the exclusive $10 million club after agreeing to a new 10-year, $115 million contract on Thursday.

Swinney's new contract is the largest college football coaching deal by total compensation.

The contract will run through the 2031 football season and averages an annual $11.5 million per year, over 10 years. This season, Swinney is set to earn $10.5 million.

The living legend's deal comes after Smart signed a 10-year, $11.2 million annual contract in July, a month before Saban got his own decade-long $11.7 million per year arrangement.

Currently, the three coaches stand in a league of their own as the only college football coaches to be making $10 million or over.

As for their accomplishments on the field, Swinney, Smart, and Saban have combined to win six of the eight national championships in the College Football Playoff era.

Swinney has led Clemson to two of its three national titles in school history.

He was given the massive contract to reflect both his status as one of the nation’s elite coaches and Clemson’s continued commitment to its well-established football program, according to director of athletics Graham Neff.

"I am appreciative of the support from the Board of Trustees to President Clements to ensure we can continue to build on a firm foundation, as Clemson football and Coach Swinney’s leadership are a key driver for our university," Neff said in a statement. "Coach Swinney and his family’s impact on our community and department cannot be understated, and his success and stability nationally is truly uncommon."

For the three-time Paul Bryant Coach of the Year, the extension shows just how much he means to the Clemson community.

"It is hard for me to believe I am in my 14th full season as your head coach, and I remain eternally grateful and honored for the opportunity to continue coaching and developing young people of excellence at Clemson." Swinney said.

"This agreement is representative of what has been collectively built here and the success we’ve had both academically and athletically. It is a reflection of the ALL IN commitment of so many people, including our players, our staff, our fans, our administration and our University leadership," he added.
