The Clemson football program just made head coach Dabo Swinney the next Nick Saban, agreeing to pay him a monster contract extension, as reported by Matt Connolly of On3.com. The Sabo Swinney contract details are… a lot to take in.

Dabo Swinney contract: 10 years, $115 million

The Clemson Board of Trustees approved the massive contract for Dabo Swinney on Thursday. The deal is set to pay Swinney an average of $11.5 million per year, which will make him the second-highest paid head coach in the nation, behind only Nick Saban of the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The Swinney contract will run through the 2031 season, meaning he'll be pacing the sidelines for Clemson football for the foreseeable future. The Tigers boss had agreed to a 10-year, $93 million deal back in 2019, though the university evidently believed he deserved a raise for his work with the program.

Swinney took over the role as Clemson football head coach back in 2008 after Tommy Bowden stepped down amid a disastrous start to the season. Swinney had a couple hiccups to start, namely, a 6-7 campaign in his second full season, though it's been all gas and no brake since then.

The Tigers have won 10 or more games in every season since 2011, securing two national championships and seven ACC titles. Swinney's Clemson football program has proven to be a worthy foil to Saban's Alabama squad in recent years, perhaps another reason for the monster contract.

After his large contract extension, Dabo Swinney's focus will now have to turn to his very important 2022 task: getting Clemson back in the College Football Playoff.

As long as Swinney is pacing the sidelines, the Tigers will be in good shape.
