Belichick Listed As Highest-Paid Coach In Sports By Forbes

BOSTON (CBS) -- He may not have the most championships among active coaches, but he gets the biggest payday among any coach in any sport.

Forbes published its list of highest-paid coaches in sports, and Patriots coach Bill Belichick sits atop the list.

With a salary of $7.5 million annually, Belichick tops all those who roam the sidelines. In 12 seasons in New England, Belichick has coached the Patriots to 139 wins in 192 regular season games, with 16-6 record in the playoffs.

But Belichick isn't the only coach in town enjoying one of the top paydays in sports. Celtics head coach Doc Rivers came in third, making $7 million annually.

The only other non-NFL coach to make the list was San Antonio's Greg Popovich, who has four titles with the Spurs. His $6 million salary is good for sixth on the list.

Between Belichick and Rivers sits Mike Shanahan, also making $7 million per season.  The other NFL coaches making that much are Jeff Fisher (4th), entering his first season with the St. Louis Rams, and Seattle's Pete Carroll (5th). Neither has won a championship.

Rounding out the Top 10 is Chicago Bears' head coach Lovie Smith (7th with a $6 million salary), Arizona's Ken Wisenhunt (8th at $5.75 million), Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin (also $5.75 million) and the Eagles' Andy Reid (10th at $5.5 million).
