Would this deal would make him the highest paid coach in the NFL?

Far from it. Holmgren makes somewhere near 8.5 million I think!

I'm not sure about what his extension that he signed last year pays him, but originally, he signed an 8 year $35 million dollar contract. Which was for GM and head coach. Last year he signed an extension that keeps him in Seattle through '08. I honestly don't know how much that was for.

The only coach I knew that had the $5 mil mark was Spurrier.
