Coach stipends have implications on more than just other coach's salaries.  There are Title IX issues involved, general budgeting and others.  Some of you are correct in stating this isn't college.  And the booster money some are suggesting might be even more closely monitored than the general fund money for just these kind of reasons.  There's this thing in public schools called "Red Book" that governs all expenditures and it doesn't compromise.

Highlands pays this then can get any coach they want. ?

Compared to Hank Carter, Highland Park is getting a steal with Randy Allen!

Check out these school's facilities, attendance, media outlets and coverage, school size, etc. Every game draws like St. X-Trinity(almost lol).

Westlake played Lake Travis back in 2016 and sold out Westlake's 10,500 seat Chaparral stadium. Tickets at Westlake are $8 and in just this game the gate receipts were $84,000. The Westlake coach's salary would be paid off in 2 games on gate receipts alone. A Kentucky public school would be negligent to pay someone that kind of money to only be a football coach.

I texted this picture to one of the doctors who's in residency with my wife. He's a Highlands Park (Dallas) grad. Not a football player, although his wife is the granddaughter of George Andrie, of the Cowboys' "Doomsday Defense" fame.

He sent me this text: "Coach Allen lives in a house that's worth 3/4 the appraised value of the school building where his players attend class. There's no way that number is accurate."

Idk, these TX salaries seem low to me considering the amount of revenue they generate.

Got another text back from him a few minutes ago: "Sent that to a HS buddy. He wants to know if we're sure those are *annual* salaries."

So could that mean these are bonuses and not their actual or “annual” salaries? This would make much more sense to me.

Man... $150k to coach high school football in Kentucky? I don't know about all that. ?

Is that good?

Yep. At least for Randy Allen, it doesn't sound like they think that's nearly the full amount he makes.

Will this thread hit 70 pages by Monday or Tuesday?

Probably has media appearance money for tv and/or radio shows, clinic speaking income, camps, and possibly commercials. Saw a SC hs coach on TV for a Ford dealership all the time.

Anyone know where Dale has been at during this whole process ?

 I haven’t heard his name once.
