gchs_uk9 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Watching CAL/DeSales got me thinking. Do private school coaches typically teach? If so, at the school or at publics? Do they have other jobs? I can't imagine schools can afford to pay coaches too much just to coach. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it would be interesting to hear what else each Coach does/teaches at his school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tones Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I believe until recently that every coach at Cov Cath also taught full time. I’m pretty sure there are a couple now who are not full time teachers but I am not sure what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpride94 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 STX Coach Wolford doesn’t teach. Guess when you’re retired pro bowler from NFL don’t need money. Glaser before him did and still teaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweet16 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 You would probably be surprised at how many coaches at public schools don't teach at the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchs_uk9 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 You would probably be surprised at how many coaches at public schools don't teach at the school. Absolutely. As someone who teaches at a public high school, I know well how few coaches are in the building. This thread, however, was initially geared toward head coaches who may or may not teach. I'd guess most public head coaches teach or are retired teachers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our school we have 8 head coaches and only 3 are teachers in our school system. The percentage is even lower for assistant coaches. 3 of 12 that I can think of are teachers in the school.

Auburn Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 You would probably be surprised at how many coaches at public schools don't teach at the school. Back in the day that used to be the way to promote your program; nowadays I'm not so sure how much it matters. It matters, but how much is unknown. The best job a coach can have in the district is Homebound IMO; 1) Little do people know it's a much needed position in the district (and, some have two) and 2) Administrators talk about being visible, well that makes you more visible than any position out there being able to come into every single school (having to meet with teachers across all grades).
