Dabo Swinney is here to stay at Clemson for years to come. 
Clemson’s Board of Trustees Compensation Committee approved a contract extension for the Clemson football head coach on Thursday that keeps Swinney with the program through 2031. 
With the new deal, Swinney will make $10.5 million through the 2022 calendar year. His salary will then incrementally increase until it reaches $12.5 million for the final two years of his contract. 
The total value of his contract is now $115 million. 
“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 in a press release. “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.”
Swinney last agreed to a 10-year, $93 million contract extension after the Tigers’ 2019 national championship, which made him the highest-paid college football head coach at the time and kept him at Clemson through 2028.
With the new extension, Swinney jumps up to the second-highest paid coach behind Alabama’s Nick Saban. 
“While I am certainly proud of our accomplishments on the field, the most rewarding part remains the relationships forged within this program and the ability to positively impact those around us,” Swinney said.
