The common denominator is the supreme coaching ability of the long-time San Francisco 49ers head coach.

Exploring Kyle Shanahan's salary in 2024
According to SI's Albert Breer, Kyle Shanahan earns an estimated $10 million per season as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. The iconic head coach is currently signed to a six-year contract extension, which he penned in 2020, which would set him up to make $60 million on the contract. Shanahan's contract will expire at the end of the 2025 NFL season.
It is important to note that NFL head coach salaries are sometimes private knowledge. Hence, there's still an air of mystery around Shanahan's annual salary. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported at the time of his contract extension that Shanahan was set to be one of the five highest-paid coaches in the league.
Who is the highest-paid head coach in the NFL in 2024?
The highest-paid head coach in the NFL is Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton. He joined the Broncos ahead of the 2023 NFL season after a brief time away from the NFL following a long and successful tenure with the New Orleans Saints.
According to NBC Sports' Peter King, Sean Payton is signed to a five-year deal "in the neighborhood" of $18 million annually. That makes Payton the best-paid coach in the NFL, a title previously held by New England Patriots legend Bill Belichick.
Here's a list of the top five earning head coaches in the NFL:
