Their defensive coordinator, Jordi Fernandez, played a big role in this improvement and was rewarded by becoming the Brooklyn Nets‘ head coach.

Fernandez signed with the Nets in April, but his salary details weren’t shared. However, we can guess his pay based on what other first-time coaches earn.
