Pretty interesting read on how seriously a nearby state takes football, yet many coaching salaries and stipends in Kentucky are the same they have been for the last 20-30 years. Assistant stipends are still stuck in the $3,000 - $4,000 range at many places and we can’t figure out why people aren’t overjoyed to work all year in the weightroom spring and summer workouts, etc. Not many coaches in Kentucky do it for money - but it’s nice that Georgia compensates with good pay for stellar performance. Just an interesting Saturday morning read. Enjoy

 

 

Big Business: Number of Georgia high school football coaches making six-figure salaries has doubled in five years | firstcoastnews.com

Stipends for all kinds of activities that require significant time investment, whether it be athletics, debate, academic team, etc. That's why it is difficult to find faculty to do these types of gigs, as you say. By the time you look at the hours required you are making pennies on the dollar (if even that!).

They can pay them whatever, as long as it's not my tax dollar.

I don’t know what they are paid, but St.X and Trinity are probably some of the highest paid in State.

Some of those schools are very surprising because they are not very good at football.
