Hey fellas, I need some advice here. I currently teach and coach football in the same building. In years past, I split between buildings and thought moving to the same building would be awesome, but it's anything but. Curious your take on things:
1. Are there any non-sales, non-start-your-own-business, types of jobs that can accommodate working around a high school football schedule (ie getting out at like 3pm) that pays at least the same as a teaching job (like mid 40s)?
2. Which scenario would you rather be in: 1) Working at the same program under a TBD head coach where your role is TBD until the spring but the program has great potential if the right head coach is picked or 2) Coaching at a program about 15-20 minutes away where I'd know my role and head coach that is a solid program with not a lot of upside?
Thanks for your opinions. Doing some serious soul searching regarding teaching and coaching. I am relatively young so feel like I can do a career change, but I just can't talk myself into giving up coaching dammit.

Currently looking at a job that is as of this point telling me that I would be able to set my own schedule and still be the HC. If I am worth a crap I would make around $75K, if I am marginal at new job $45. I work in a good district and have a few hats so I am making around $70 right now but that is just about my max.

Checkout the benefit packages. I'd also caution against choosing a job solely on pay. I was in a good paying job but ended up hating it. Got an alternative cert in education and now teach and coach. Pay is less, but so are the hours and stress. I love teaching/coaching. But, I also understand for many people the grass is greener when in education until they get out for themselves.
