AJC: Brent Key’s Georgia Tech extension adds $2M staff budget, auto extensions

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, via open records, reported details of Brent Key’s December extension: base pay rises to $6.15 million annually through 2030, plus about $2 million more for assistants and support staff. The amendment adds automatic contract extensions and raises tied to eight-, nine-, and 10-win seasons, plus layered bowl, ranking, and playoff incentives. Separation terms also shift, including buyout figures that decline by year if Key leaves. The package shows Tech investing in staffing depth, not only the head coach’s salary.
