The math still doesn't work. Even at $1 per hour, 4500 hours works out to

86 hours per week year round. No high school football coach is putting in those kind of hours.

High school coaches pay in Alpine School System

I assume that’s on top of their teachers salary…

If they are also teachers. My daughter's cheer coach is not a teacher, she coaches high school cheer as a side gig.

A lot of high schools are staffed by mediocre teachers who got the job by

It is, but not like they are making bank teaching.

Many schools (corner canyon) make the football coach an “admin” so they can pay

With opportunity cost I lost well over $100k coaching. I was a sole practitioner

That thought came to mind as well as a coach would have to give up some family

Yes. It's also why we attract a number of very weird/bad/odd school coaches.

Don’t think you’re suggesting this but it should never be justification for bullying.

Even if you get someone very passionate, it doesn't mean you have a good coach

Going a lot a bit nerd here. So at .07/hr to earn $4,500.00 one would have to work-- 64,285.71 hours. That's dedication!

I immediately did the same thing, and it sounds like Hans' math isn't mathing very well

That coach should get the $4,500 AND Rachel's hand in marriage.

This is why he is coaching and not teaching math.

The guy was a high school football coach, not a math teacher. Cut him some slack.

My daughter is an assistant drill coach. They give her $1,000 for the year.

Do people get paid for time and travel when they go to work?

No not at all. She is not a teacher so I was just pointing out that . . .

Don Juan can elaborate on this, but basically a high school coach gets a stipend

Those stipends sound right, but the hourly is off, though the real hourly

We forget sometimes that the point of HS sports isn't to train up future pros.

The problem with this mentality is that it then requires more from the coaches
