The list of the top 10 highest-paid coaches in US sports has three new faces on it and a new No. 1 after Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll and Nick Saban all left their jobs in the last 24 hours.
Belichick’s 24 years as head coach of the New England Patriots came to an end on Thursday morning after an unprecedented reign of success.
It followed a dramatic day on Wednesday that first saw the Seattle Seahawks move on from 72-year-old Carroll, handing him an advisor role instead.
Then, Saban announced he was retiring from coaching – leaving Alabama after winning six national titles and weeks after they lost in the Rose Bowl against the Michigan Wolverines.
All three were in the top 10 highest-paid coaches in the US before the last 24 hours unfolded.
