Nick Sirianni has rapidly become one of the most talked-about coaches in the NFL. His tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles has featured both ups and downs, but he’s now a fan favorite in Philly after guiding the team to a Super Bowl 59 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Here’s a breakdown of Sirianni’s contract details, salary, and net worth.
Nick Sirianni’s Eagles Deal, Salary, and Net Worth
Sirianni’s path to becoming the Eagles’ head coach started with humble beginnings. As a player, he was a wide receiver at Division III Mount Union, where he helped the program win three national championships from 2001 to 2003.
With a degree in education, he shifted into coaching in 2004, taking on the role of defensive backs coach at Mount Union. Nearly two decades later, in 2021, Sirianni signed a five-year, $35 million deal to lead the Eagles. He’s now the 11th-highest-paid coach in the NFL, earning roughly $7 million per year.
However, there are rumblings that after winning the Super Bowl, he could sign a new contract that surpasses the $13 million per year earned by Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson.
Sirianni’s net worth is estimated to be around $10 million. He has a rich coaching background, having served under seven head coaches, including Todd Haley, Romeo Crennel, Mike McCoy, Anthony Lynn, and Frank Reich.
His coaching tree is already bearing fruit as three of his former assistants, Jonathan Gannon (Arizona Cardinals), Kellen Moore (New Orleans Saints), and Shane Steichen (Indianapolis Colts), are currently NFL head coaches.
Who Are the NFL’s Highest-Paid Head Coaches?
1) Andy Reid, Kansas City Chiefs
Reid is widely regarded as the best head coach in the NFL, so it makes sense that he’s also the league’s highest-paid coach.
The Chiefs extended Reid in late April, locking him up on a new deal that made him the top-ranked head coach on this list. He’s under contract through the 2029 season.
Since arriving in Kansas City in 2013, Reid has led the franchise to three Super Bowl wins. While many will attribute Reid’s success to superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, he had plenty of success as a head coach in the NFL before Mahomes’ arrival.

Counting regular-season and postseason success, Reid has the fourth-most wins of any head coach in NFL history, and there’s a huge gap between Reid and the next-winningest active head coach (Mike Tomlin).
Reid has the second-most playoff wins all-time, behind only former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
The only head coach to win 100 games with two franchises, Reid will be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame when he retires (although the 66-year-old has said that he’s open to coaching into his 70s, so he may not be retiring anytime soon).
2) Sean Payton, Denver Broncos
- 2026 salary: $18 million
The Broncos needed to make a drastic change after their failed Nathaniel Hackett experiment, and shifting to a future Hall of Fame head coach in Payton certainly qualified as drastic. But keeping up with the Chiefs requires an aggressive mindset.
Denver sent a 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 second-rounder to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for Payton’s rights and a 2024 third-round selection.
In February 2023, NBC Sports’ Peter King reported that Payton signed a five-year contract “in the neighborhood” of $18 million annually. Considering the draft capital and money they gave up, the Broncos clearly expect Payton to turn the team into a perennial contender.
The Broncos invested a first-round pick in Oregon QB Bo Nix, named him the starter for the 2024 season, and honored him as the first rookie captain in 57 years. Payton and Nix have a strong working relationship, and the rookie quarterback has exceeded expectations throughout his first season, leading Denver to the playoffs.
The Broncos have their quarterback of the future and an offensive guru to help him realize his full potential, so they are in excellent shape.
3T) Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh Steelers
Tomlin was hired as the Steelers’ head coach on Jan. 27, 2007. He has never had a losing season, holding the NFL record for most consecutive non-losing seasons to begin an NFL coaching career. Tomlin’s worst seasons were in 2012, 2013, and 2019, when his teams finished 8-8.
Tomlin has led the Steelers to 12 playoff appearances, seven division titles, five Divisional Rounds, three AFC Championship Games, and two Super Bowls (including one victory).

Tomlin has two Super Bowl championships under his belt: one as an assistant coach and one as a head coach. His title as an assistant came in Super Bowl 37 as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ defensive backs coach, while his ring as the Steelers’ head coach came in Super Bowl 43.
On June 10, 2024, the Steelers and Tomlin agreed to terms on a three-year extension that will keep him under contract through the 2027 season. According to Front Office Sports, he’s earning $16 million annually.
3T) Jim Harbaugh, Los Angeles Chargers
Harbaugh has made a seamless return to the NFL. After almost a decade at Michigan, he signed a five-year, $80 million deal with the Chargers last offseason.
Expectations were modest when he arrived, with many assuming Los Angeles would miss the playoffs. Instead, Harbaugh led the Chargers to 11 wins and a postseason berth, even after the team moved on from several key offensive pieces in the offseason.
The defense has quickly become one of the league’s most dominant groups, giving up an NFL-best 17.7 points per game. Harbaugh brought Jesse Minter with him from Michigan to run the defense, and that decision has already paid massive dividends.
5) Sean McVay, Los Angeles Rams
After becoming a head coach at age 30, McVay became the youngest NFL head coach (37) to win a Super Bowl when the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in 2022.
Amazon reportedly offered McVay $100 million over five years to serve as a broadcaster after the 2022 campaign, but he chose to stay in Los Angeles — and received a subsequent pay bump.
