Here's a list of the head coaches in the NFL and their approximate salaries this season:
Some interesting things to note: Jack Del Rio, Mike Tomlin, are paid only $1 million more than Jauron and they both have winning coaching records to date. Wade Phillips is paid double what Jauron makes.
Keep in mind...while $1 million dollars more for a coaches salary might seem like nothing, it means a big jump when the highest paid is only $8 million.
Seems as if it only takes about $3 million to wrangle in a good head coach. But at the same time, I see on this list a HELL of a lot of overpaid unproven coaches. So I think what Jauron makes is relative to his past experience, but it's time to go out and get someone who is proven if Jauron doesn't work out this season.
