The Alabama Crimson Tide have extended the contract of head coach Kalen DeBoer till the 2032-33 season, and it includes some interesting perks. DeBoer is reportedly set to earn $87.5 million over the next seven seasons. The new contract was approved on Wednesday by The University of Alabama’s System Board of Trustees Compensation Committee.
Alabama staff writer Mike Rodak shared more details about the contract on X. Rodak wrote that DeBoer can use a private plane for personal, non-business use for 55 hours annually. It was 30 hours annually before.
Meanwhile, other perks and allowances remain the same. DeBoer will reportedly be paid an annual automobile allowance of $16,800. He will reportedly receive a BDS skybox, parking passes, 15 general admission tickets, and road game tickets. His spouse and dependents’ travel expenses will be covered. He will also get a country club membership and a stipend for a cell phone, according to Rodak.
DeBoer was hired after legendary coach Nick Saban decided to retire from football coaching. In his first season, DeBoer failed to take Alabama to the College Football Playoff. However, he redeemed himself this past season with an 11-4 record and a College Football Playoff appearance. In two seasons so far, the head coach is 20-8.
