Indiana Hoosiers head coach Curt Cignetti just got PAID.

Following his team’s unbelievable and dominating run to the first national title in program history, the former Nick Saban assistant has agreed to a contract extension which will keep him right where he’s at through 2033, and compensates him deservingly.

According to a story from On3, Cignetti’s new deal averages a mind boggling $13.2 million per year, placing him with Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart and LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin as the only known names who have deals that exceed $13 million annually.

The previous deal automatically raised Cignetti’s salary to nearly $12 million, but making the CFP semifinal triggered a “Good Faith Market Review clause” that allowed him to renegotiate.

The news that Cignetti is locked up is hardly a surprise given what he just did, however it is extremely notable for him to join the likes of Smart and Kiffin. A program like Indiana — an afterthought for most of their history — just ponied up the cash to keep a guy who may very well be the best coach in the nation.

Moving forward, the Hoosiers certainly appear here to stay.
