Okay, so I got really curious about how much those big-shot NFL coaches make. You know, the guys you always see on TV, pacing the sidelines, yelling at the refs. I mean, they’re leading these multi-million dollar teams, so they gotta be raking it in, right? So, I put on my detective hat and started digging.
First, I just did a simple search to see what the average is. Turns out, these head honchos are pulling in around $6-8 million a year. Yeah, you read that right. Millions! That’s enough to make anyone’s jaw drop. But then I thought, “Well, that’s just the average. What about the top dogs?”
So I looked up what the highest-paid coaches make. And let me tell you, it’s even crazier. Some of these guys are making way more than the average. I found out that like 10 of them are making at least $9 million per year. That’s a whole lot of cash!
- I found out that a guy named Sean Payton is raking in a cool $18 million.
- Then there’s Mike Tomlin and Jim Harbaugh, both pocketing $16 million.
- And Sean McVay, he’s not far behind at $15 million.
I even found info on a coach named LaFleur, a guy I have seen on TV a few times. He’s making around $5 million a year. Still a ton of money! I also found this fact about a $20 million, four-year contract he signed not too long ago.
And get this – I found some details on a coach named Taylor. Apparently, he’s making about $4.5 million a year. Not too shabby, right? Also, I noticed that his team lost a game recently. I guess that is just how sports go.
Then there was this name, Kirby Smart, who apparently coaches in college football. I didn’t dig too much into his earnings, but I have a feeling they’re up there, too. These football coaches’ salaries are crazy high. It really gives you a new perspective on the business side of the sport.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure into the world of NFL coach salaries. It’s wild to see how much money is involved. Definitely makes you think twice about those guys on the sidelines!
