Florida high school football's growing problem:...

"Coaching in Georgia Is astronomically Better!"

If it weren’t for a family situation, Chuck Kenyon would have stayed in Georgia.
Kenyon was happy as an assistant high school football coach in the Peach State. After all, he was making more money as a teacher and assistant in Georgia than he did as a successful head coach in Florida.
“The cost of living is less, and you get paid more. It’s a win-win,” said Kenyon, who is heading into his third season as head coach at Royal Palm Beach. “Coaching in Georgia is astronomically better. I only came back because of family. It wasn’t the job or status or anything like that. It was strictly for family. If it wasn’t for that situation, I would probably still be in Georgia.”
Kenyon is one of the few coaches who have returned.

The shortage in officiating is minuscule compared to the growing coaching shortage

They don't get paid nearly enough.

assistant football coaches were at the low end with $1,550 a season
Talk about doing it for the love of the game

Florida can take heart from Louisiana… you don’t really need great coaches if the players are dawgs

I made more money than some of those FL football coaches coaching HS swimming in MS the past eight years. And I had to club coaching on top of that that they do not get. This is the same thing with teachers. If you don't pay them to be professionals then they will leave.

You would think w/the amount of talent that the state of Florida produces that the coaches would make more. You can have all.of the talent in the world but if nobody is there to harness it it's gonna go to waste.

According to a 2018 First Coast News report, 36 high school football coaches in Georgia were making more than $100,000. “There is no price you can put on winning,” Glynn County (Georgia) Athletic Director Steve Waters was quoted as saying in the report.
When Kenyon was an assistant coach at Veterans High School in Georgia, he said the head coach made approximately $111,000 a year just to coach football.

Coaches get paid $1750 a sport in middle school and $2,250 a sport in high school around here. Those that aren’t employed at the school get $1,000 a season. I know because I’ve done it for a decade.

I coach in north west Louisiana but originally from south Arkansas. Our stipends are shite and the ones in Arkansas decreased as well after the new bill gave all teachers their raises. Seems if you want to get paid decent as a coach I’m looking at having to cross the border into Texas

When I was a head high school football coach, the cheerleading coach made more than I did because cheer was a “three season” sport and football just one. We didn’t get a summer stipend or anything.
It’s really not enough for what you put up with and what everyone expects you to do outside of the actual coaching.

West Monroe's cheer leading coach makes more than any other coach in the area. The numbers I listed above are obviously stipends on top of their teacher's pay. The cheer coach isn't a school employee and is paid by the parents/boosters. They get $1,100 per kid...WM usually has 50+ cheer leaders. Yes, that's not a typo. $50K+ in coaching fees for cheer.

isnt there a rule that coaches, if employed by the school can not make money from outside sources?
if not, would seem an easy way around all of this is simply turning it into the travel ball model where each kid must pay a certain amount to be in the program and you allow the athletic director and booster clubs to decide how the money is spent on the coaches
i know many will cry about unfair advantages and i believe there is a rule against it for that reason, still a dumb rule.
i have friends that coach in texas and they have told me much of the income comes from the booster club stipends. dunno how true that is, but its what i was told.

Texas sets the tone for coaching stipends. Mine is 13k to coach baseball(no football) plus another 5-10 that will come from running our summer camp.

This is true.
The officials in Texas also get a cut of the gate for each game..

The bigger issue is allowing players to transfer anywhere at anytime
