Okay, so I was kinda curious about how much those assistant coaches in the NFL actually make. You know, the guys who aren’t the head honcho but are still super important. So I did some digging!
First, I started with a simple search. Just typed in something like “NFL assistant coach salary” to see what popped up.

My Research Process
I found a bunch of articles and forum discussions. It was a bit overwhelming at first, lots of numbers and opinions flying around.
I noticed a few things that stood out:
- Experience matters a lot: The longer you’ve been coaching, the more you’re likely to make. Makes sense, right?
- The specific role is key: Offensive and defensive coordinators usually make more than, say, a position coach.
- The team’s success and budget play a role: Winning teams with bigger budgets can probably afford to pay their coaches more.
It’s tough to get exact numbers because these salaries aren’t always *’s not like player salaries, which are easily findable.
But from all the stuff I read, I gathered that it is in a pretty wide range.
Some lower-level assistants might make in low six figures, while experienced coordinators can make multiple *, huh?

Wrapping Up
So, what did I ultimately learn? NFL assistant coach salaries are a complex thing. There is a so wide range.
But one thing’s for sure: it’s a competitive field, and those guys are definitely working hard for their paychecks!
