Alabama has reached a new seven-year contract with football coach Kalen DeBoer that will pay him $12.5 million per season, the university announced Wednesday.

The new agreement, which was approved by the University of Alabama System's Compensation Committee during a virtual meeting Wednesday, extended DeBoer's contract by two years. It expires on Jan. 31, 2033.

The new agreement includes a buyout of $10 million through Jan. 31, 2027. The buyout decreases by $2 million after each of the next two years.

DeBoer, who has a 20-8 record in two seasons at Alabama, was linked to job openings at Michigan and Penn State this past offseason, although he didn't interview with either school.
