Maybe it's because they do FAR MORE WORK than the average teacher.
I don't doubt that these coaches put in work, but you are kidding yourself if you think teachers only work 7AM-3PM for 9 months a year. In fact, from my experience coaching and teaching, the majority of coaches work MUCH less than their teaching counterparts.

That's simply not true. I've coached at the middle school level the last 3 years as a side job/just to help out. The coaches go to all the same meetings, teach for 5-6 class periods, plus put in 3-4 hours of board work/film study/weights/on field practice time. Then go home and do all the same lesson planning/grading papers that other teachers bitch about when saying, "It's more than a 7-3 job!!!!" They coach at least 2 sports as well, so they coach pretty much the entire school year. Then they are at the school 3 days a week for 4-5 hours for weights/conditioning during the summer.
They deserve to make more than other teachers, period.

Correct, but they sure aren't up at the school for 25+ hours a week during the summer.

Not in my experience. If you're talking the girls jv tennis coach, then sure. But the head football coach does more for the school than just about anyone there.

Is this where I pour out a beer for the poor teachers who all made more than I did starting out?
