Josh McDaniels’ net worth in 2024 is $12 million. The esteemed offensive coordinator has struggled to take that success to the head coach ranks as the Las Vegas Raiders fired him as head coach just eight games into the 2023 season. Let’s look at Josh McDaniels’ net worth in 2024.
What is Josh McDaniels’ net worth in 2024?: $12 million (estimate)
You can’t write the story of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick without mentioning McDaniels. A big part of the Patriots dynasty, he is now looking for his next opportunity, although he’s still being paid by the Raiders. Josh McDaniels’ net worth in 2023 is $6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Josh McDaniels was born on April 22, 1976, in Canton, Ohio. Growing up in Canton, the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, it shouldn’t be a surprise that he would grow up with football being an integral part of his life. He was a wide receiver at John Carroll University, but his playing career was just a steppingstone to being a household name in football.
Josh McDaniels’ early coaching career
You can say that Josh McDaniels was destined for a career in coaching under the sport’s biggest names, as his coaching career began as a graduate assistant at Michigan State under Nick Saban.
McDaniels joined the New England Patriots in 2001 as a personnel assistant and moved on to a defensive assistant in 2003. In 2004, the Patriots promoted him to quarterbacks coach, creating the historic relationship between him and Tom Brady.
In McDaniels’ first four seasons with the team, the Patriots won three Super Bowls. Then in 2005, McDaniels started calling plays for the offense, officially taking on the role of offensive coordinator after the season. In 2007, the Patriots had arguably the best offensive season of all time, setting numerous NFL records. Belichick assumed that the writing was on the wall, and he began to train McDaniels to be a head coach.
Josh McDaniels’ first head-coach job
In 2009, the Denver Broncos named McDaniels their head coach. The Broncos signed him to a four-year, $8 million contract.
Over two seasons with the Broncos, McDaniels amassed an 11-17 record. The team would not keep him around for the duration of the four years, firing him at the end of the second season.
The St. Louis Rams brought McDaniels in for the 2011 season to be their offensive coordinator. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo believed that McDaniels was one of the top offensive minds in the NFL. Unfortunately for McDaniels, the Rams fired Spagnuolo as head coach after the season and decided to let McDaniels go as well.
Josh McDaniels returns to the Patriots
The Patriots rehired McDaniels during the 2011 playoffs as an offensive assistant coach. He was hired to replace Bill O’Brien as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, the position McDaniels held before leaving.
McDaniels held the position for 10 more seasons, winning Super Bowls in 2014, 2016, and 2018. McDaniels is one of a few New England Patriots personnel to be present for all six Super Bowl titles during the Brady era.
His second stint as offensive coordinator had some controversy, as he accepted the head-coaching job in Indianapolis in 2018 but changed his mind and stayed with New England. The move ended up paying off for McDaniels, as he won his sixth Super Bowl that season. However, the controversy arose when his long-time agent, Bob LaMonte, cut ties after the decision.

McDaniels took a chance and entered into the world of head coaching once again in 2022. The Las Vegas Raiders offered McDaniels a contract to be their new head coach. McDaniels is making a reported $10 million per season on a four-year term.
Much like his first tenure as a head coach, McDaniels struggled in his first season with the Raiders. The team suffered a 6-11 record, stirring up talks that McDaniels should have stayed on the offensive side of the ball.
However, owner Mark Davis expressed his support for McDaniels as the head coach of the team. It was reported that Davis didn’t actually support McDaniels but instead couldn’t afford to pay the high severance package.
However, after a 3-5 start and the players unhappy with McDaniels as coach, Davis found the money for the severance package and fired McDaniels. Afterward, Davis made linebacker coach Antonio Pierce the interim head coach and, after a search for a head coach in the offseason, made Pierce the permanent head coach.
Nevertheless, did Josh McDaniels’ net worth in 2024 surprise you?

Packers Receive Disappointing Injury News Before Vikings Matchup
Jayden Reed’s anticipated return to the practice field for the Green Bay Packers will have to wait a little longer. Despite some growing hope earlier this week that the dynamic wide receiver could begin the next phase of his recovery, head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Wednesday that Reed will not open his 21-day practice window yet. “He’s not practicing today,” LaFleur said ahead of Sunday’s critical matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. When pressed for a clearer timeline on the second-year standout, who remains on injured reserve with collarbone and foot injuries, LaFleur deferred to the medical staff. “I don’t know. As soon as medical clears him, he’ll be out there,” LaFleur said. “I know he’s excited to get back. As am I.” The optimism had spiked in recent days. On Monday, LaFleur indicated there was a chance Reed and/or rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd could start their practice windows this week. Reed himself fueled the excitement Tuesday by sharing a photo of himself dressed in full uniform on social media. Those plans, however, are now on hold. Reed’s surgically repaired foot seems to have healed satisfactorily, but the collarbone—fractured on a diving attempt during the first half of Green Bay’s Week 2 victory over the Washington Commanders—still needs additional time. For a wide receiver whose job involves regular physical contact and the risk of landing hard on the shoulder, the medical staff is requiring clear imaging evidence that the bone is strong enough before green-lighting a return. The cautious approach echoes the Packers’ handling of Aaron Rodgers’ similar collarbone injury in 2017, when the former quarterback sat out seven games while waiting for full healing. Nearly 10 weeks removed from the injury and having already missed eight contests, Reed could still require another one to two weeks before doctors are comfortable clearing him for football activities. That timeline keeps a potential return for the Thanksgiving night clash with the Detroit Lions or the following week against the Chicago Bears realistically in play. Before the injury, Reed had established himself as Green Bay’s top receiving weapon. He paced the team in receiving yards in both 2023 and 2024, and in the two games he played this season while managing the foot issue, he recorded three receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown. The Green Bay Packers will continue their Week 12 preparations without their leading wideout on the practice field, with LaFleur and the organization prioritizing full recovery over a rushed comeback.
Texas HC Steve Sarkisian gives bold claim on job rumors
Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian has been a popular name in both the NFL and college football coaching cycles. It makes sense, too. He's brought Texas back to being competitive and in the championship hunt, but he also has a wealth of great experience as an assistant in both college and the NFL. He's about as well-rounded a candidate as you'll find, so of course, programs like the Florida Gators, LSU Tigers or even the New York Giants may be interested to see if he's interested. The thing is, though, he's not. Or, at the very least, that's what he's telling the media. He's all-in with the Longhorns, according to comments he made on a recent SEC teleconference call. “I’d like to comment something before I get into our team that has been bothering me now over the past few weeks. That is people reporting that are insinuating that there’s a possibility I could leave the University of Texas, and that is absolutely false and untrue," Sarkisian said (h/t On3). "I’m not going anywhere. Never do I do this because I never want to be a distraction, so I never address these things. At this point, I feel like this is important that I do this because it’s important for our team. It’s important for our university." Steve Sarkisian has deep roots in Austin and is all-in with Texas As if that weren't clear enough, Sarkisian said that he has not had any discussions with anybody about coaching elsewhere. He even went as far as to say that even his agent hasn't spoken to anyone. Sometimes coaches can say publicly that they aren't talking about any opportunities while, in the meantime, their agents are working backchannels and putting something together. He could be lying, of course, because college football history is full of head coaches saying one thing and doing another. A full-throated statement like this seems to be a pretty clear indication that Sarkisian is serious about what he's saying, though. Heck, he went as far as calling Austin home, which is a pretty big deal for a coach to say. Those guys aren't used to staying in one place for too long. With that said, Sarkisian does have two kids actually enrolled at Texas, one on the football team. He has a third kid he wants to go to Texas in the near future. He also just had a baby. Sarkisian has roots in Austin. He also has high aspirations for the Longhorns. “We came here to win championships," he said. "We’ve built a damn good football program over the five years that we’ve been here. We’ve been to two College Football Playoffs. We won a Big 12 Championship. We went to the SEC Championship game in Year 1. We’ve had 23 players drafted the last two years, which is more than any other school in the country and our team GPA is at an all-time high. “Can we please stop putting things out there that you have absolutely zero evidence on? Can we please stop retweeting and putting it back out there as if it’s true? As if it’s the gospel? It is not true."
Cowboys Announce Trevon Diggs News After Four Missed Games
Trevon Diggs watched on as Brian Schottenheimer and the Dallas Cowboys ended a two-game skid, defeating Geno Smith and the Las Vegas Raiders 33-16 in Week 11's edition of "Monday Night Football." Now, the Cowboys improve to 4-5-1 on the 2025 NFL season with a Week 12 NFC East matchup on the horizon against the Philadelphia Eagles. Ten games into the regular season, the Cowboys have fielded one of the NFL’s worst defenses, allowing 378.7 total yards per game, 30th in the league, and a league-worst 258.7 passing yards. With the unit struggling, Jerry Jones decided it was time for upgrades, acquiring defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and linebacker Logan Wilson at the trade deadline. The team also welcomed back linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who had been recovering from a knee injury. With the reinforcements arriving for the Raiders matchup, the defense delivered its best performance of the season, allowing just 236 total yards, including only 27 on the ground. Despite the impressive outing, Dallas was still without one of its top defenders, as Diggs remained sidelined. Ahead of the Cowboys’ Week 7 win over the Washington Commanders, Diggs was ruled out after suffering a concussion in an accident at home. The following week, he was placed on injured reserve while also dealing with a separate knee injury. He has missed Dallas’ last four games, during which the team went 2-2. Diggs won't be able to make his return until the Thanksgiving matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, meaning he will be out against the Eagles. But on Wednesday, Schottenheimer had a positive update to share on his Pro Bowl cornerback. "Brian Schottenheimer says that Solomon Thomas is 'making progress' and with Trevon Diggs, 'all signs are that he's doing everything he's supposed to do,'" Cowboys reporter Tommy Yarrish wrote on X. "#Cowboys are doing walkthroughs today, so they'll know more on the injury front tomorrow." The Cowboys will take on the Eagles on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET at AT T Stadium.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto grabs dinner with top Dodgers free agent target
With MLB free agency slowly but surely coming into shape, Los Angeles Dodgers fans have been scouring the rumor mill for the latest intel on who the next great superstar Andrew Frieman will land. Will it be Kyle Tucker, the current bell of the MLB ball? Or maybe Cody Bellinger, who might just be tired of watching his former teammates win World Series games without him? Well, if Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s recent social media activities are of any indication, it would appear Dodgers fans should keep a close eye on “Murakami-sama,” himself, Munetaka Murakami, as he looks to take his game from the NPB to MLB. Posing for a picture with the 25-year-old slugger while dining with Kenshiro Saito, Yamamoto had to know the interaction should make the rounds on social media and smiled for the camera all the same, setting off a firestorm among baseball fans that makes posting season all the more interesting. Standing 6-foot-2, 213 pounds, Murakami is a certified slugger the likes of which the NPB has seldom seen, leaving the league with 265 home runs on his resume. His 56 homers in 2022 broke a near-60-year record held by Sadaharu Oh, and even in 2025, a down year by his usual standards, he still hit 24 in just 69 total games. Though some question what position Murakami will play in MLB, be that his native third base, at first, or as a power-hitting DH, the Dodgers could easily platoon the 25-year-old with Max Muncy in 2026 and take over the spot in 2027, holding it down until Freddie Freeman rides off into the sunset a little further down the line. Now granted, just because Murakami and Yamamoto had dinner together doesn’t mean the former is a guaranteed lock to join the latter in Dodgers blue next spring. Another team could make a better offer, or Murakami could simply decide he wants to be a big fish in a small pond, instead of just another Japanese player on the Dodgers. And yet, for a player who came up watching Shohei Ohtani dominate in Japan and then America, why wouldn’t Murakami strongly consider teaming up with the “Unicorn,” Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki to really make a proper go of things at a three-peat?
