Like most coaches at major college football programs, Orgeron and Swinney can each earn substantial incentive-based bonuses based on how their teams perform in the postseason. The incentive-based pay is added to millions of dollars they each earned in salary for the 2019-20 season.

Swinney, 50, would earn an additional $250,000 in bonus pay if Clemson beats LSU at the Louisiana Superdome, according to USA Today. He has already earned $600,000 incentive-based pay so far this season.

With a salary of more than $9 million for the 2019-20 season, Swinney is the highest-paid coach in NCAA football. Orgeron ranked 30th with a base salary of $4 million.

LSU and Clemson each earned $6 million in payouts for their respective conferences, the SEC and the ACC, by making it to the College Football Playoffs semifinals. The College Football Playoff disperses money to each conference in NCAA’s top-tier Football Bowl Subdivision through a revenue-sharing model.
