After winning 2 National Championships in the past two seasons with the Clemson Tigers, head coach Dabo Swinney has been rewarded with the biggest deal for a head coach in the history of college football.
Swinney and Clemson agreed to a 10-year, $93 million dollar deal that will keep Swinney under contract with the Tigers until 2028.
Clemson won the CFB Playoff and the National Championship last season and also in 2016.
Under Swinney, the team has qualified for the College Football Playoff in all of the past four seasons.
Swinney took over as the Tigers’ head coach in 2008 when he was appointed as Tommy Bowden’s interim replacement.
He quickly won out as the school’s long-term choice at the helm of the football program and has compiled a 116-30 overall record as the team’s coach.
In addition to his team’s two National Championships, Swinney’s Tigers have won 5 ACC championships in his 11 seasons as the school’s head coach.
If Swinney leaves Clemson for another school during the length of his contract, he would have to pay a $6 million buyout. However, if he jumps at an opportunity to coach in the NFL, he could leave freely.
In any case, Clemson and Swinney have been entered a long-term agreement that should keep the school’s best-ever head coach there for the next decade.
