Investigations by The Daily Telegraph newspaper have revealed several cases of alleged fraud in football.
Coleman says he has never taken or been offered a 'bung' and believes the sport's governing bodies should operate a zero tolerance policy on corruption.
"If anyone is caught then they should be removed from the game permanently and that's it, good night," he said.
He continued: "It's sad, but I have zero respect for anyone caught.
"If you earn £50,000 a year, that's a good salary to the man in the street. If you're earning £50,000 a week then why are you after more? It's just greed.
"Unfortunately we are all tarnished with the same brush. We are all involved in an industry where there is corruption from the very top.
"But what are we going to do about it if someone is caught? Will it just be a rap of the knuckles or will they be banished?
"If there is evidence against someone and they are found guilty then get rid of them from the game and they should never be allowed back."
Barnsley suspended assistant manager Tommy Wright after he was named in a Daily Telegraph investigation in which he was filmed apparently being given an envelope of money in return for allegedly helping Barnsley to sign players from a fake Far East Firm.
Sam Allardyce lasted only 67 days as England manager before leaving in disgrace after the same newspaper said he advised undercover reporters posing as businessmen how to "get around" transfer rules.
Coleman says he has sympathy for Allardyce.
"I'm really disappointed for Sam. I was with him last week at a coaches' conference in Paris and I know he will be absolutely devastated," Coleman added.
"I've known Sam for a long time and I know how much he wanted the job and how proud he was to get it. So I'm gutted for him that he has lost it through events off the pitch rather than on it.
"He has made a mistake and admitted that. It's a shame that someone of his experience let their guard down for five minutes and lost their job over it."
However, Coleman made clear he has no desires to succeed Allardyce, answering unequivocally when asked if he would be interested in the position.
"My answer would a big fat no," he said.

Most of the teenagers caught drunk and disorderly said they were sent to Cornwall with alcohol, rather than attempting to buy it in local shops.
Supt Julie Whitmarsh from Devon and Cornwall Police described the statistics as "scary".
The force has called for a "national debate" about parental responsibility.
It said although some parents were shocked about their children's behaviour, others  verbally abused officers who confiscated the alcohol.
Many of the 15 and 16-year-olds stopped had been allowed to travel to Cornwall alone with friends to celebrate the end of exams.
More than 4,000 under-18s visited Newquay over the summer, according to figures from a Newquay Safe Partnership campaign to prevent underage drinking.
During Operation Brunel, officers confiscated 1,044 unopened bottles and cans of alcoholic drink and poured away more than 5,000 that were open.
The force said it was talking to the Home Office about ways of prosecuting parents who stock their children up with drink before they leave home.
Supt Whitmarsh said drinking on holiday with peers, without parental control, was a "different situation" than having alcohol at home.
"At what point is it a good idea to leave children with alcohol," she said.
In the most serious cases, parents were telephoned and told to collect their children while a further 71 families were sent warning letters.
Supt Whitmarsh said one officer was verbally abused by a parent who accused him of stopping her son "having fun". The teenager was one of four 16-year-olds caught with 64 cans of Special Brew.
Another mother dismissed an officer's concerns, claiming her child was "not the usual riff-raff".
Police said these were examples of parents not taking their role seriously.
Newquay Safe Partnership was formed in 2009 after the deaths of two teenagers.
Andrew Curwell, 18, from Saddleworth in Greater Manchester, was found at the foot of cliffs at Great Western Beach on 28 June and the following week, 16-year-old Paddy Higgins, from Wokingham in Berkshire, died after falling from cliffs above Tolcarne Beach.
Wales manager Chris Coleman says anyone found guilty of corruption in football should be banned for life.

Seven out of 10 under-age drinkers caught in the Cornish holiday resort of Newquay were given alcohol by their parents, according to police.
