High school football: What's the coach get paid?
- Thread starter observer22
- Start date
6 figures at the big budget programs. Cronin from Newman was offered a lucrative deal at Servite. I'm convinced Gary Mcnight at Mater Dei makes 400k+ a year. Heard a lot of people close to that program say its big, big money….
I'd love to see proof of that $400k.
Very sound journalism: we didn't see any of the private school coaches pay for football, but we "heard" they get paid "handsomely". The two jokers, I mean "journalists" then further the completely unproven slant by claiming the privates are the "haves" and the publics the "have nots"..... Even tho they have zero proof of a discrepancy.
Journalism ain't what it used to be.

The coach at O'dowd made like 3000. He stated that they weren't hurting for money as a program. Sounds like they called DLS and from what I took away from it the coach doesn't see any money from outside what the school pays him. They declined to state the amount which is their right. The journalists did ask the question.
Just do like Texas, write some bonds and jack up the property taxes. Cash these coaches out!
Wow... That was a cool article. Someone finally almost did some real reporting on high school athletics in the Bay Area. Maybe next time they will start doing reporting on the differences in athletic department budgets and the disadvantage between top public schools and top private schools.
If we want to go down that road ..................
maybe "they will start reporting on the differences in athletic department, art department, textbook availability, facility comparisons, security expenses, lunch & nutrition offerings, etc, etc between the highest income based public schools and the lowest income based public schools. Let's say a look at McClymonds-Oakland versus Campolinda-Orinda or Richmond HS versus Monte Vista-Danville. Sure there is a wealth of investigation all around the Bay.
Then they/we can really start a discussion "on the disadvantages between......."

For most of us that's a pile of cash.
Matt Logan, SouCal coach @ Corona Centennial HS proverbial participant in recent SBG's pulls down almost $113,000 per yr. teacher salary/bennies.
I subscribe to the position that teachers (and to a degree, coaches) play a very important & crucial part of our society. I think that most teachers are underpaid & under appreciated for the services they provide.
When their salaries are compared to what many pencil pushing, paper shufflers (and some concrete heads, too) it seems a priority turned upside down. Many prison guards/administrators make more than teachers with advance degrees...??

These coaches deserve it all for all of their time and sacrifice.
God bless them.

This is a good read and nice to see a new topic covered in prep journalism. A lot of retread stories out there
That actually proves my point. Which is why the OAL stayed OAL instead of joining the NCS. Which was the correct decision in my opinion because they are at a competetive disadvantage with the top NCS programs.
Hatch, the Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High District pays all teachers well in comparison to other local school districts. He has over 20 years in as a teacher so it is not surprising nor out of range for the other teachers at those two High Schools.
Honestly teachers are underpaid for the responsibility we entrust them with.
very interesting piece. It would be curious to know what some private school coaches make. Many times its tied into an on campus job, but for an off campus coach its tough to make $3k for amount of time needed to be successful. Also the smart coaches do camps and clinics to help supplement income, i.e Walsh at Serra with his Next Level flag stuff for youths.
Private school coaches make far less than public school coaches? Not based on some of the figures discussed above. I'm sure there are a lot that make comparable sums and others that make considerably more. But there can't be too many that make far less than the paltry sums most public school coaches make. At least I hope not.
Not going to spend a lot of energy on this........my day started @ 5:15 but here is a link to a California Gov site listing most recent state public teachers' median salaries for different levels and national averages: http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fr/sa/cefavgsalaries.asp
Bang away and make your own conclusions.
Taking Mrs 'crete to dinner for some comfort food & vino and then back home to hang with one of my best buddies.....Mr Sofa and watch the Rocklin-Del Oro game.

Excellent read, excellent article and I hope it's an article that outrages some people with power. $3k is far from enough but most coaches wont demand a king's ransom. A $10k per season stipend would be fair and much appreciated.
