Matt Patricia Salary: What's the Former Patriots Coach Earning Now?
Okay, let’s get speculative. What does a wealthy, unemployed football coach buy? Probably a lot of gear for his garage gym. I picture him lifting kettlebells while wearing a hoodie that says “Defensive Coordinator” in ironic font.
He might also be investing in yeah, I don’t know, structural engineering textbooks? Because that’s basically what his defensive schemes were—complex architectural blueprints that nobody else understood. Including his own players.
Or maybe he’s just sitting on a pile of cash, waiting for the phone to ring. “Hey Matt, we need a consultant!” That call comes with a nice $500,000 check for a three-week engagement. Not bad for a guy who once called a cover-0 blitz on third-and-20.

Bottom Line: He’s Fine
So, what’s the Matt Patricia salary right now? It’s somewhere between “very comfortable” and “laughing all the way to the bank.” The exact number is hidden behind NDAs and contract clauses, but it’s definitely more than your yearly salary.
Will he coach again? Probably. The NFL has a short memory—especially for Belichick disciples. But until then, Patricia is living proof that you can fail upward and still get paid. Just don’t expect him to buy you a coffee. He’s busy counting his Lions money.
And hey, if you ever feel bad about your career, just remember: Matt Patricia got fired from two jobs in two years and is still a millionaire. Cheers to that, my friend.
