Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is one of seven active NFL lead skippers with a Super Bowl championship on his résumé, as he led the Green Bay Packers to victory in Super Bowl 45 back in 2011.
McCarthy’s 178 career victories across the regular season and playoffs ranks 17th all-time, and second-most among active coaches. McCarthy has been coaching for a long time, so what is his net worth and how does it stack up to other coaches?
What Is Mike McCarthy’s Net Worth?
Contract information isn’t always as widely available for coaches as it is for players, so it was a bit tough finding ironclad financials for McCarthy’s current deal.
However, most sources put his annual salary with the Cowboys in the $4 million to $7 million range.
If he’s earning only $4 million, this would make him one of the lowest-paid head coaches in the NFL. According to Sportskeeda, McCarthy was the second-lowest-paid head coach in the NFL during the 2023 season, trailing only Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski.
All told, McCarthy doesn’t earn a ton for the level at which he’s produced. To put McCarhy’s rate in comparison, consider what other Super Bowl winners are making: Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid earns $18 million per year, while Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay makes $14 million and Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin brings home $12.5 million annually.
