I will say that the HS football world here is on par with some lower division colleges, but damn!

I went to an event at a school outside Dallas. Football stadium, outdoor practice field, full length field indoor practice field, weight room building, indoor and outdoor pools, eight lighted tennis courts, track facility and a baseball field.

I asked what Junior College it was and the locals were surprised I didn't know it was a high school.

I'd expect them to make much more. I was thinking it was going to be in the 225 to 250K range. I guess I'm delusional.

The comments are...


Why are people so angry that these coaches are paid well for being good at their job? And Texas ranks pretty well as far as schools go

My old high school coach makes roughly $100k a year and he might be the biggest scrub in the entire Houston area

If you are smart with that kind of money, you can retire pretty comfortably as a pillar of your community, having worked a competitive, fun job while influencing the lives of young men. There are obviously disadvantages and a good bit of pressure, but doesn't sound like a bad gig to me. A lot better than most other jobs.

Is $100k really that much for being a leading professional in your field?

They generate a ton of money for their school and contribute heavily to the community. They also directly influence around 100 students and indirectly contribute to the students involved in the band, cheerleading, and trainer staff. Not to mention, the better the program, the more opportunities there are for scholarships.

Like someone else said, I was expecting a lot more salary compensation for me to be shocked.

Yeah the amount of money is stupid.

I was in Admin (2 steps below the superintendent) at a 5A School district and thought I was doing pretty well. Made 2 times a teachers' salary. Then I saw how much more our 27 year old Assistant Coach made than me and felt like a poor suddenly.

Football is king here.

What they don't mention is a lot of those coaches are also the "Athletic Director" for their schools, so they get paid more.
