Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will end 2022 as the highest-paid coach in American sports, according to Kurt Badenhausen of Sportico. Belichick makes $20 million a year, which is $5 million more than the second-place coach, Pete Carroll of the Seahawks.
Six of the top seven highest-paid coaches come from the NFL, with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich the lone outlier at No. 4. Rounding out the top 10 are the three highest-paid college football coaches: Alabama’s Nick Saban, Clemson’s Dabo Swinney and Georgia’s Kirby Smart.
Additionally, 21 coaches among the top 25 are NFL or college football coaches.
