This is a list of salaries for head coaches in the NFL.
https://en.as.com/en/2022/02/01/nfl/...63_799339.html
The lowest ......
THE LOWEST salary is $3 Million per year. The highest salary is $12.5 Million per year. And that coach
WHO MAKES THE LEAST amount of money at $3 Million per year is the one who blew the whistle on his owner for trying to bribe him to lose games.
It would be almost unfathomable for a head coach to be willing to hurt his own legacy
AND risk being caught and booted from the NFL for life because an owner offered to give him a $100,000 bonus, a $300,000 bonus, or even a $500,000 bonus in order to tank games.
It would be tantamount to a star player who makes between $15 Million and $30 Million per year throwing a game for a few million dollars and not only hurting his legacy in the process, but also risking his career
AND his pension for doing so.
One of the inadvertent consequences of athletes and coaches making the absurd amounts of money that they do these days is that it is nearly impossible to get one of them (and especially a group of them) to fix/tank games for money.
