🏈 High School Coaches

[Jseakin]

This may need to be moved to another forum and if so I apologize in advance but do high school football coaches get paid a teaching salary or do they get extra for coaching?

There is a coaches supplement added to the teachers salary.

In Alabama they are expected/required to teach, but get a supplement (from the boosters usually) for the coaching duties.

It depends where you coach. But back home in Virginia you get 1200 a season extra to be a coach. And head coach is like 1800 bucks extra.

In California, for example, if you coach at a big time school you get paid alot more from the boosters. Mater Dei and Servite coaches (Private Schools) in Orange County, CA are always ranked in the Top 15 in the Nation and have the best recruits make alot of $$. Some coaches are getting more then $150,000 to coach. And thats alot of $$$!!!!

When Probst was at Hoover he was working off of a base salary that was in excess of 100K a year.

Most supplements come from the school district. Some big, some small, some huge, just depends on your credentials. Booster will also get together and pay some of a salary.

$100,678 to be exact.

Yup. Crazy isn't it? I don't think he had any teaching responsibilities either. Hoover U, gotta love it.

PS - Niblett gets $97,885 annually.

A lot of coaches get paid big money in the high school ranks. They had a VERY telling piece in the Birmingham News (It was in black and white though so it wasn't significant :wink which ranked the top 10 coaches salaries in Alabama. I tried to google it but it was a few years ago (three I believe). #10 came in at just above 80 thousand, if memory serves me correct. Might have been 70K. I remember Propst was tops, then came Mountain Brook, Spain Park (I think?), the coach at Homewood (name escaping me), and Swindall at Russelville before he got the boot for being a lunatic.

Side note: Propst is getting around the same figure at Colquitt County High in Georgia. Guy's character is "shady" at best, but he wins, and that's all people care about these days so he'll always find a job somewhere.

:shock: How much?!?!? A coach at UT-Chattanooga only makes maybe 500,000!

All systems in Georgia pay the following:
Base salary - Determined by teaching certificate level (ie education level) and years experience.

Most systems in Georgia pay the following for head coaches:
Two additional months pay - Teacher contracts are based on 190 days, twelve month employees are based on 230 days. Take base salary above divide by ten multiply by 12.

Any given coach in the state would have the same salary no matter where they coached for the above two computations. The seperation factor is local supplement.

Our system pays $17,000.00 for it's head football coaching supplement and four year's ago that was middle of the pack for the region in which several dominate Georgia high schools were members (ie Lowndes County)

Other perks that are not mentioned as part of the salary may be provided from booster clubs or other supporters like a car from a local dealership, free cell phone plan and probably several others.

Depending on the system, many coaches are not required to actually teach classes though some do or have a reduced schedule (ie four weight training classes).

Propst will make $95,000 at Colquitt County and has a one-year contract. The senior class he inherits isn't that strong. That is far different than the talent pool at Hoover, which had seven I-A signees in 2007.

How'd he do over there(Colquitt) this season, any idea?

And Hoover has better attendance number than UT Chatt does...makes sense.

I seriously doubt he makes 500K...

Systems vary their supplements. They are required to teach. Most schools now are hounded by auditors to the point that "booster clubs" cannot even boost the pay for coaches any. Alot of schools' coaching staffs will hold camps or clinics to raise money for their "athletic department" (maiority goes to the coaches).

Since my kid was a girl I didn't have the athletic booster connection but I can relate it from the band booster side of things. This was in Shelby County, Alabama which is suburban Birmingham. The band director taught several classes, of course ran the marching band, organized and led various appearances year around for the band, arranged the spring trip, camps, preseason practice (which began the same day that pre season football practice began). I am convinced he spent as many non school day hours as any coach. For this he received his teaching salary plus a supplement from the county of $200 per month, making his "above and beyond" pay about $2 per hour. Our band booster group fortunately had a strong fund raising base (going far beyond the traditional candy sales and football concession stand operation). We were subject to the audits mentioned above, so we channeled our off campus fund raising through a non profit corporation which used its income to help supply various equipment needs of the band as well as make a "donation" to supplement the band director to the tune of $500 per month, as well as lesser supplements for faculty sponsore of the visual groups such as the dance line, majorettes and color guard. These folks didn't make anywhere near what a HC would (or did at our HS) but at least we took away some of the sting from those who worked extremely long hours to make sure our kids looked good on the field.

They went 4-6, 1-6 in their region and classification. This was up from last year, which I think they went 2-8. I think they play in a traditionally tough region with Lowndes, Warner Robins, Coffee, Tift, etc.

FWIW, they lost to Lowndes, the top team in their region/classification 51-0.

I know one semi-well known Alabama head coach who was known to leave before 12 to go fishing. :lol:

I'm a WR coach here and we're not required to teach anything. Our HC isn't required to either, but he's the P.E teacher.

But, football here isn't nothing like it is in the south.

It depends on the SCHOOL DISTRICT here in California.
Some you have to teach. Others you dont. Its not a state thing. Its a school district thing.
