    Published on

    Doug Pederson has been fired due to the Jacksonville Jaguars' struggles. Let's examine the former head coach's contract, salary, and net worth.

    Doug Pederson has been around the NFL for many years. After a 13-year playing career as a quarterback that saw him suit up for the Miami Dolphins, Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Cleveland Browns, he transitioned to coaching.

    After leading the Philadelphia Eagles to victory in Super Bowl 52, Pederson took over as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, after a disappointing four-win season, Jacksonville has fired Pederson. Let’s examine his contract, salary, and net worth.

    Doug Pederson’s Salary and Contract

    Pederson was reportedly earning $8.5 million annually as Jacksonville’s head coach. Unlike player salaries, coaching contract details are not made public, so these figures are based on estimates.

    But assuming these estimates are accurate, Pederson was reportedly the 11th-highest-paid head coach in the NFL. This put him right behind Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald and directly in front of Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni.

    Pederson was earning more than Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn (who is the frontrunner to win the Coach of the Year award) and Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur among others. The fact that Pederson has led a team to victory in the Super Bowl helped him earn a larger salary than some of his peers.

    The Jaguars hired Pederson in 2022, and he reportedly only has one year remaining on his contract. His deal is fully guaranteed, so Pederson will receive the rest of the money owed to him even though Jacksonville decided to part ways.

    Pederson’s Net Worth

    After a lengthy NFL career and his success as a coach, Pederson’s net worth is estimated to be $12 million, cementing his status as one of the NFL’s wealthiest coaches.

    For comparison, the head coaches with the highest net worth are Bill Belichick ($70 million), Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid ($50 million), Houston Texans HC DeMeco Ryans ($33 million), and Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike Tomlin ($30 million).

    Thanks to his accumulated wealth, Pederson has been able to invest in properties for his family of five. He previously owned a home in Moorestown, N.J., which features amenities such as a home theater, gym, and pool. After leaving the Eagles, Pederson listed the property for $2.7 million.
