Contract details: Chad Lunsford gets four years, $1 million buyout at Georgia Southern

With the 2017 football season coming to a close for the Georgia Southern Eagles last Saturday, newly-minted head coach Chad Lunsford was officially hired as the school’s 14th head coach in the program’s history and signed a formal contract days later.

That contract has become public record. We’ve obtained a copy here at Underdog Dynasty, and now release its details to you dear readers and fans.

Lunsford’s agreement with the school is a four-year deal, set to end on Dec. 31, 2021, worth $650,000 annually in base pay before potential incentives, up $150,000 from Tyson Summers’ previous contract with the school.
