Not the NFL, not football, sports, according to Forbes.

Quote

19 | Ron Rivera

Carolina Panthers

Average Contract Value: $7.75 million

Career Win Percentage: .546

Riverboat Ron, who was hired in 2011, was the seventh-longest-tenured coach in the NFL before he was fired on Tuesday. Rivera is owed one more year on the contract extension he signed in January 2018.

Number 20 on the list is Jim Harbaugh, just a shade under Rivera at 7.73 million. Just above him? Mike Tomlin and Andy Reid at 8 million.

The full list can be seen here: The twenty highest paid coaches in American sports

I had no idea...

Remember, NFL head coaching salaries are fully guaranteed. We'll still owe him a year's worth next season.

Yup but when the cap isn't involved, it's a whole other game. It's just P&L and cash flow hurdles. I haven't seen any financials on an NFL team but I don't hesitate to say it's probably not a huge hurdle at the end of the day. 

I wonder if there is a clause that if he takes on a new salary it voids some/all of what the Panthers are due to pay him?

If you narrow it down to the NFL only, here's who's on the list.

 

1. Bill Belichick, 12 million a year (Career Win Percentage .684)

2. Pete Carroll, 11 million a year (Career Win Percentage .602)

3. Jon Gruden, 10 million a year (Career Win Percentage .515)

4. Sean Payton, 9.75 million a year (Career Win Percentage .627)

5. John Harbaugh, 9 million a year (Career Win Percentage .606)

6. Sean McVay, 8.5 million a year (Career Win Percentage .705)

7. Mike Tomlin, 8 million a year (Career Win Percentage .650)

7. Andy Reid, 8 million a year (Career Win Percentage .613)

7. Dan Quinn, 8 million a year (Career Win Percentage .513) :)

10. Ron Rivera, 7.75 million a year (Career Win Percentage .546)

 

So for the past two years (extension signed in 2018) both Rivera and Dan Quinn have been getting paid as Top Ten coaches.

When a head coach is fired, it disrupts a lot of families because typically all the coordinators, assistants, trainers and others get fired as well. And they are not paid nearly as much as a head coach so a much bigger change for them.   I wouldn’t feel sorry for Ron Rivera he’ll be just fine.  His staff and their families...

Not “we.” David Tepper. What Ron was making has no impact on the team at all. Unless you think Tepper is a cheapskate and won’t pay 2 coaches at once (but then he  wouldn’t have fired him).

No, it's pretty clear he's not afraid of that

(another thing which sets him apart from Jerry Richardson)

All money managers are cheapskates unless it makes a return.

      Malik Willis anyone

      By countryboi · Posted

      One thing I didn’t consider is how thin this draft is at quarterback. That’s going to drive up the market for backups and borderline starters like Willis, Jones, and Jameis Winston. Because of that, we’ll most likely be priced out of the market for this tier of backup.

      We've already beat the #1 seed twice, why not one more? (Packers and Rams were both #1 seed at the time we played)

      My determination has come down to this. Based on recent QB history, has Bryce's improvement warranted 50m per season? Lamar is the only original team QB to play on his 5th year. The others took major deals at the end of the 3rd, before or just after the option was signed. Chances are, we're getting asked for the same.  I haven't rooted for Bryce to fail. I've rooted for him to succeed so big that them signing that extension would give me no worries about our future at QB at all. We haven't seen that level of play consistently that this year. We haven't seen it in the past 6 games.  We're about to be at a threshold with Bryce and I worry about what this front office will do. We have a history of bad decision making and Morgan has been part of that group making those decisions. I don't want Carolina in the same boat Arizona and Miami are right now. It has nothing to with being right. It has to do with wanting to win for more than a single season. We've never had back to back winning seasons. Faith in their abilities is not warranted at this point.
