the NFL's coaching casualties weren't necessarily the most expensive NFL coaches measured by salary per team win.

Veteran coaches Tom Coughlin of the New York Giants, Jeff Fisher of the St. Louis Rams and Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints all earned more than $1 million per win as their teams missed the playoffs.

Among playoff coaches, John Fox earned roughly $450,000 for each of the Denver Broncos' 12 wins, while Pete Carroll took in about $580,000 per victory for the 12-win Seahawks.
