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.

This.
I've worked with plenty of high school coaches before to know that there are many night's where I woudn't get a phone call for a quote in a story until 2-3 a.m. because they just finished watching film to know what to look for on Saturday when the actual players come in.
That's not counting the other sport that 90 percent of the staff has to coach in the off-season of football, the practice time or the 25 or so days that coaches are basically volunteering to work in the summer for workout programs and 7-on-7.

Read the previous posts. It had been deduced that the coaches in this particular article, most likely do NOT teach any classes. I agree that coaches that teach should make more than people who only teach. However, in this particular case for a person who ONLY coaches football to make more than twice what a teacher makes is somewhat absurd.
As a former coach myself, I understand the time commitment that most of these guys make. I understand the summer workouts and film sessions. I understand that it is not a 3 month job with 2-4 hours a day for practice.
I am just stating that I don't see a reason there should be THAT much of a disparity.
As for the coaches who don't do much, I was referring to the coaches that "teach" in the sense that they have four PE classes that they watch each day. Those are the coaches I that don't do near as much work as the average teacher.

Yea, but they probably suck at that teacher role. The coaches who taught us in high school were MORONS.
One of those idiots tried to teach us that the Alps were an abbreviation for the Appalachian mountains. My comments awarded me the most intense paddling of my life. I deserved it, but still.
