Mike Tomlin is one of the sport’s longest-tenured coaches. And he’s well-compensated for his efforts. According to a December report from the business outlet Sportico, Mike Tomlin is the fifth-highest paid coach in all of American sports with a salary of $12.5 million per year. He only trails the New England Patriots’ Bill Belichick, the Seattle Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, Los Angeles Rams’ Sean McVay, and NBA San Antonio Spurts Gregg Poppovich.
Sports Business Journal put together this nice graphic showing the top-five (though they misattributed the origin info to Sports Illustrated here).
