How Jim Harbaugh's Contract Stacks Up Against Other NFL Coaches

For the Spanos family, inking new Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh didn't come cheap.

Per Jacob Zinkula of Business Insider, his $16 million annual sticker price is the second-most for any coach in the country, for any sport, just $2 million shy of Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton's US-leading salary.

Harbaugh's contract puts him on a par with San Antonio Spurs head coach/GM Gregg Popovich, who has  steered the team to five NBA titles and six Finals appearances during his nearly 30-year career in that capacity with the franchise.

Jim is now set to earn $4 million more a season than his brother John, whose Baltimore Ravens, as you'll no doubt recall, beat Jim's 49ers in the 2013 Super Bowl.
