Bill Belichick deserves the highest salary

In 2018, Mike Florio from Pro Football Sports Talk reported that Belichick made $12.5 million per season. Coach B signed a contract extension with the Pats, and his salary probably goes between $13 and 14 million as noted by Ryan Hannable of WEEI.

Hannable explained that the future Hall-of-Famer has deserved that and much more. Belichick is the best coach in the NFL, and Shanahan’s experience and accomplishments can’t even compare to that. Shanahan has been an offensive coordinator since he was 32. The coach has been glued to the OC position for four teams (Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons) before becoming a head coach for the San Francisco 49ers in 2017.

In his three seasons at that position, Shanahan has led the team to a 23-25 record. The team went 13-3 in 2019 before being smashed by the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

Belichick is 68 and he has been a football coach since 1975. He was a special assistant for the Baltimore Colts in that season. Only two NFL coaches have been coaching into their 70s. Buffalo Bills icon Marv Levy and Chicago Bears legend George Halas have been winning games until later age. Well Belichick will soon join them. He is the best coach in the league.
