Stephen A. Smith Makes More Money Than All But One Head Coach

If you do not like Stephen A. Smith, I suggest you read this while sitting alone. It's never good to make angry faces at your device in the presence of others.

Stephen A. makes a total of $12 million a year between his base salary and his production team, The Athletic first reported. While that likely makes you angry, it may make you feel better to know that your least-favorite head coach is making less than Stephen A.

Well, that probably doesn't make you feel better, but it's probably true. So get this: Bill Belichick is the only head coach in the NFL, NBA, or college football to earn more per year than Stephen A.

Top paid NFL coaches:







Good to see BB and SAS getting the same pay for their hard work.

Top paid college football coaches:




Lol, Jim Harbaugh.

And in the NBA:




Stephen A. makes more than Popovich? Not bad for a guy yelling very loudly about sports.

If you happen to hear someone tonight throw their phone across the room and scream, "I deserve more money than all of these coaches" -- don't be alarmed. It probably just means that Maria Taylor is near your location.
