Georgia is close to finalizing a long-term contract extension with football coach Kirby Smart that will make him among the highest paid coaches in the FBS.
Last season, Smart guided the Bulldogs to their first national title in 41 years with a 33-18 victory over Alabama in the CFP National Championship.
Athletics director Josh Brooks discussed Smart's new contract with the UGA athletics board at a meeting on Thursday, although no action was taken. Details of the new deal weren't disclosed.
Smart's agent, Jimmy Sexton of Creative Artists Agency, couldn't be reached for comment.
"It's just going through the process, taking your time," Brooks said in a statement Thursday.
