Alright, folks, let’s dive into something I was curious about the other day: how much those assistant coaches in the NFL actually make. I mean, we see the head coaches raking it in, but what about the guys in the trenches, you know?
So, I started digging. My first stop? Good ol’ Google. I typed in “NFL assistant coach salary” and hit enter. A bunch of stuff popped up, some of it useful, some of it… not so much.
My Research Journey
- First Phase: Broad Strokes
Initially, I found a lot of general articles, kinda vague. They talked about “average” salaries and wide ranges, but nothing concrete. It was like, “Yeah, they make money… but how much?” Not very helpful.
- Second Phase: Getting Specific
I refined my search, adding terms like “position coach” and “coordinator” to see if that would narrow things down. This helped a bit. I started seeing some more specific numbers, but they still varied wildly.
- Third Phase: Forum Deep Dive
Then, I hit some forums and Reddit threads. This is where things got interesting (and sometimes weird). People who claimed to have inside knowledge were throwing around numbers. Some seemed plausible, others… well, let’s just say I took them with a grain of salt.
- Fourth Phase: Compare the information
Then, I compare this different information,I found some of them are really *’s hard to know.
What I Think I Figured Out
Okay, so here’s the deal, based on my totally unscientific, internet-fueled research. It’s a HUGE range. Here is what I found:
It seems like some lower-level assistant coaches, maybe quality control guys or assistants to the position coaches, might be making anywhere from $50,000 to $100,000, maybe $200,000. It’s probably not glamorous, but it’s a foot in the door. The salary is depended on experience.
Position coaches are more like $200,000 to 500,* are probably 1 million plus, easy. The super-star, in-demand coordinators? Man, they could be raking in a couple of million, maybe even more.I think the location might play a role, too. Teams in bigger, more expensive cities might pay a bit more to compensate for the cost of living. And, of course, winning probably helps. Successful teams tend to have more money to throw around.
So, yeah, that’s my deep dive into NFL assistant coach salaries. Not exactly definitive, but hey, it’s a start. The real answer? It depends. But hopefully, this gives you a slightly better idea than you had before. And if you are NFL assistant coach, let me know.
