Georgia football head coach Kirby Smart agreed to a 10-year, $130 million contract last May, making him the highest-paid coach in the sport.

On Friday, more details in the contract were revealed via Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald following an open records request.

For starters, Smart's contract is fully guaranteed if he's fired without cause any time through Dec. 31, 2028. For the remainder of the contract, which runs through 2033, it is 85 percent guaranteed if he's fired without cause.

That's obviously a major financial commitment from Georgia, although the Bulldogs have been tremendous in the Smart era, going 97-17 and 57-10 in the SEC.
