Kent Austin, who was promoted to Auburn’s quarterbacks coach from his previous role as an analyst, will receive a $150,000 raise as part of his new contract, according to a copy of the agreement acquired by AL.com in a public records request.

His salary for the 2024 season will be $400,000. The new deal began on Jan. 15 and will expire on Jan. 27, 2027.

Austin’s previous contract, which expired on Jan. 31, paid him a $250,000 base salary and did not include any endorsement rights payment or personal appearances fee. The new contract owes him $75,000 in endorsements and $75,000 in personal appearances payments, totaling the $150,000 raise.

Should Austin remain at Auburn, he will receive a $200,000 raise on Feb. 1, 2025, and another $350,000 raise on Feb. 1, 2026, bringing the potential total salary of his contract to $950,000 for the 2026 season.

The contract includes a fully guaranteed buyout for the remaining money owed to him during the term of the deal.

Should Austin choose to leave Auburn, he will owe $375,000 should he do so before Dec. 20, 2024, $250,000 should he do so before Dec. 20, 2025, or $125,000 should he do so before Dec. 20, 2026.

Though Austin will not owe Auburn anything should he accept a new position as a head coach, a play-calling coordinator or any job in the NFL, according to the terms of the contract.

Austin receives an identical bonus structure to what is owed to other assistants according to contracts previously acquired by AL.com.

Austin was head coach Hugh Freeze’s co-offensive coordinator at Liberty from 2019-2022. He was also the offensive coordinator at Ole Miss from 2008-2009 — with Auburn offensive coordaintor Derrick Nix on that staff.
