Why is Sean Payton the highest paid HC in the NFL?

I don't get it.

Reputation. Once you win a SB people will pay you in the hopes that you'll do it for them too.

Andy Reid has won 3 Superbowls, out of 4 visits. Makes less than Payton. John Harbaugh. Less. Sean McVay. Less. 

So....why again?

Well you could contact the Chiefs and ask them to adjust Reid's salary if it's really keeping you up at night.

It's a good question...

Maybe part of it is contract timing?  Payton signed the most recently?

Doesn't hurt that the folks that bring you Walmart also own part of the Broncos.

I think the bigger question is how is he coaching in the NFL after bountygate? Paying players to knock another player out of a game should have been a lifetime suspension and if not, no team should have hired him.

He's a good coach. He's also a smug and grating, self-aggrandizing cock-weasel. Both can be true.

Doesn't deserve to be. But it's the NFL. Pay has more to do with timing than talent.
