Salary Restrictions on coaches (1 Viewer)

This is perhaps a pretty simple question, but are there any restrictions on salaries for NFL coaches?

If Snyder wanted, could he pay Gibbs, Saunders and Williams $30M/yr?

I believe there have since been restrictions on trading coaches since the TB/OAK trade for Gruden, but I can't recall what they are exactly.

Thanks for any insight.

I don't believe there are restrictions, which is what favors the wealthy teams...it's not as egregious as the Yankees buying an All Star in August every year, but it does make the playing field less than level.

No restrictions.

No Labor Union for coaches, hence no cap.

Because the first thing that all Labor Unions lobby for is a salary cap.

What exactly would be the assumption behind and the point of a coach's salary cap? Everyone's going to look for a competitive advantage. If you cap coaches' salaries, then some people will complain that some teams can outspend others on scouting. So then you cap scouting budgets, and people will complain that some teams can spend too much on training facilities. The wealthiest of the teams already share revenue with the other teams. It's also well known that there are a good number of teams that are either tight-fisted when it comes to spending money on their teams, or who are simply incompetent when it comes to running their teams, or both. One of my economics professors in college defined the word "fair" as "more for me" given that that tends to be the way that that term is used. I see that at work here.

That's exactly how my economics professor defined fair
