jarhead24219 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I have often wondered what kind of money is involved in coaching?Does each school decide what to pay a head coach and is it based on years of service, or is it set by the county, and is each head coach paid the same within , say WISE COUNTY, or other systems?I have heard that sometimes the community helps with the money issue when coaches win state or when another school is after the head coach.

RCITYHOO Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 All I got was a pain in the backside when I was coaching. But should have been paid a lot more cause them 6-7 yr olds are tough in that flag football league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapeape Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Coaching stipends are listed on every school system site. Gate City's head coach makes a little under $6,000. Va High pays about $10,000. Most schools fall into that range. Assistant coaches probably average $1,500 if they get paid at all. Teaching salaries depend on education and experience.

Gridiron60 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 For the long hours they put in basically year round now, they end up making pennies per hour if that. To think Tazewell County almost took those pennies away from their coaches, the school board that never ceases to amaze . Some districts may have stipends listed on their webpages.

Single A west Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Most counties have $13-14,000 stipend. So if you have 3 schools like Wythe. Around 4,200 a each. If you are head coach in Pulaski or Carroll after a little time you will get close to the whole amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapeape Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 School systems should return to the policy of requiring pe teacher to coach. It offsets having what is otherwise a comically easy job. Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsteer Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Excellent point......PE has turned into a joke......many PE teachers caoch for a few years and then just step down and monitor recess for rest of career, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarhead24219 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Most coaches have such a positive effect on young men and ladies in shaping their lives, COACH BOLLING insisited that his players be great citizens first.I was just wondering about pay in general and how RICHLANDS keeps MANCE all these years when other schools must have offered him BIG $$$$ to coach at another school,I JUST FIGURED THAT STRONG COMMUNITY SUPPORT $$$$ kept him in place, and thats a good thing. Take a look at look at APPOMATTOXS' DOUG SMITH,untill he showed up they were just a average program. I spoke to several APPO fans at the UNION VS APPO game last year, they told me that several collages were trying to get him to coach , and that the community came up with GIFTS "$$$$$" TO KEEP HIM THERE.

1inStripes Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Most coaches dont get paid enough for the time they put into it and impact that can create on the young lives they lead. A minority just draw a check and that is all. Those cant be culled fast enough. jarhead24219, JDHoss and redtiger 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristol8434 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I totally agree that PE in high schools has become a total joke. I have a friend that coaches high school football and he told me that it comes out to be around $5 a hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarhead24219 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I agree that no one is getting rich by coaching, and I am not trying to throw mud, my point is that some programs are able to keep good coaches while others are not and i was just wondering how?

To my knowledge nobody in appo has given coach Smith gifts. Personally due to his beliefs and morals I can't see him accepting anything under the table. jarhead24219 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapeape Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Mance is a math teacher. I doubt he has been recruited by any other school system. He works at Richlands because that's where he lives. It's not like another school system is going to recruit him away... Why move your home & family to make a thousand more dollars? This is why I am curious as to whether Akers will stay with Scott County in January. Not much demand for drivers ed teachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not meant to sound offensive but I don't think a high school math teacher would need his wife to be co-AD as published by The Voice in Tazewell County Personnel changes. If I'm not mistaken Ricky Vencil previous AD at Richlands is a math teacher and I don't think he had a co-AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richlands has always had a strong football program , at least for several decades even before Mance and still does during his tenure as head coach. I think everyone can agree on that point.

jarhead24219 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 The one question that has not been answered is this, is there a different pay say:WISE CENTRAL head coach VS UNION head coach "if both have the same resume" and does RICHLANDS HEAD COACH MAKE MORE THAN GRAHAMS? THOSE TWO SCHOOLS could be changed with any other schools in the same system , UNION VS EASTSIDE ECT. ECT. ECT. JUST WONDERING IF THERE IS A SET $$$ for each head coach no matter where you are or how good your program is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Scott Co (per their website), a head football coach stipend is $5,010. I'm not sure what Wise Co is now, but it used to be 13% of the coach's teacher salary. jarhead24219 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
