The third and fourth spots are occupied by NBA coaches: Steve Kerr of the Golden State Warriors, earning $17.5 million per year, and Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs, making $17 million.

Tied for fifth place are Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Jim Harbaugh of the Los Angeles Chargers, each earning $16 million per season. Harbaugh, who led the Michigan Wolverines to a national championship in 2023, was signed by the Chargers to a five-year, $80 million contract.

Positions seven through nine, each commanding $15 million, include Erik Spoelstra of the Miami Heat, Tyronn Lue of the Los Angeles Clippers, both from the NBA, and Sean McVay of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams.
