TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer had his contract approved by the compensation committee for the UA System Board of Trustees on Monday.
DeBoer is set up to make $87 million over an eight-year deal that will run through Dec. 31, 2031. He will make $10 million in the first year and his compensation will grow to $11.75 million in the final year.
With that contract, DeBoer makes a colossal jump in his compensation, after he made $4.2 million this past season in total pay at Washington. That ranked No. 44 among public school coaches, per the USA TODAY football coach salary database. After leading the Huskies to the College Football Playoff, he was set to receive a substantial raise, though. Washington athletics director Troy Dannen said he put a $9.4 million offer on the table after the Sugar Bowl.
However, DeBoer ultimately turned that down to become the head coach at Alabama, replacing Nick Saban after Saban decided to retire on Jan. 10. Saban was set to make $11.5 million in 2024.
DeBoer's contract is 90% guaranteed.
