How bout if that was a school from NKY that was paying their FB coach that much. Wonder how folks would feel.

I wouldn't care. I have no idea how much the coaches in NKY make, as far as I know Dale could have made close to that when he was coaching. If you can get , get it. I never really understood why people concerned themselves so much with how much someone makes. As long as its not forcing me to live on the street to pay a coaches salary, then I'm all for it.

 

I work for local govt and I know for a fact I could make double what I make in the private sector if I worked as a DBA there instead of my current job, but I don't lose sleep over it. If they can make double what I make then more power to them.

Pretty easy to find out what coaches make in this state (at least Public & Independent Schools) Just call the BOE & ask them for the stipend/pay amount for Head ______________ Coach. Some counties do it by experience (& they top out @ a certain amount), others by a set stipend amount. Its all public record.

 

County where I worked the Head Football Coach earned $9350 for their football supplemental pay & were employed as a teacher with a full load of academic classes in the school.

 

They aren't in this for the money, with the hours put in for what they receive it is @ or below minimum wage.............& I'm not talking about the $15 an hour minimum wage that the McDonalds workers are wanting. :no:

Johnny.

 

When was the last time those were adjusted? Any idea on that and/or if they have been the last 20 years or so?

If the schools can afford it and bring in enough revenue each year from their football games, then I have no issue at all with what they make. If they can make that much then good for them.

 

Agree. Key is if schools can afford it. Balance coaches salaries with teacher salaries, the need to update school facilities, educational opportunities for athletes and non-athletes and all the other things that go into running a school system. Kids are in school for an education first and the extra-curricular things second. If the community wants to spend its money that way then it's their money and they live with the consequences -- good or bad. If the coach can make that kind of money from that school system good on them -- they certainly put in the time!

Harry,

 

I believe that they were changed in the mid to late 90's if I am not mistaken. There are a handful of coaches that are still grandfathered in under the old percentage based supplemental stipend but those are certainly few & far between.

High dollar guys in Georgia, too.

 

I'd challenge some of you to go to your local school systems board of ed and request to see the stipends over the last 30 years. You'd be shocked at how little (if any at all) those have increased in comparison to ANY wages paid, across all all employment.

 

 

Yes there are. But what a lot of people miss is that most of the high dollar guys have been teaching 20+ years and usually have several add on degrees so that will bring their salary in the area on $80,000+. The the boosters will kick in an extra amount.

 

Keep in mind that most of these guys making the money will get For Sale signs in their front yards with a quickness if they don't perform. And most of the high dollar guys are in south Georgia's Region 1 which is considered the SEC of the state.

RockinGa I like this perspective for sure. Here in Kentucky (not sure if you are familiar with teacher requirements here) All teachers are required to have their Masters degree by their 10th year in the classroom. A new stipulation that was recently passed in the last few years has been place on teachers wanting Administration certification. Before you could become an Administrator with just a Masters in Admin, now they require you to receive a Rank 1 (2nd complete Masters) in Administration/Teacher Leadership to become an Administrator. A PhD in the school system only makes $2k-$3k more per year than a Rank 1, so there is not really the need to go any further. I stopped @ Rank 1.

My high school pays their coach $91,800.00. Oxford High Yellow Jackets

Most of the money in coaches salaries in AL, TX, etc. come from the booster programs. That is illegal to do here in KY.

Does he teach/fulfilfill some other role besides coaching?

Some coaches would take what the head coaches made 20 years ago because it's more than they make now. A lot more.

Who makes that illegal? The KHSAA?

More than likely the BOE I would think, but I don't know for a fact.

Someone send me an e-mail and I'll give you all of Pike Counties stipends.

It's not illegal to do in Kentucky. The boosters just have to give the money to the school and then the school gives it to the coach. It can be done.
