Georgia Tech offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner signed a contract extension in July, and details of that new contract have been obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution through an open records request.
Faulkner, 44, had his original contract, signed in 2023, extended until Jan. 31, 2027. The Parkview High School graduate was given a new annual salary of $1,250,000. By remaining with Tech through the entirety of the 2025 regular season, Faulkner was paid a one-time incentive of $250,000, which was to be paid Nov. 30. He would receive the same one-time incentive for the same amount should he remain with Tech through the entire 2026 regular season.
