Most HC's here are in the 75-105 range. There are some that make "extra" money from donors also. The poorer schools are mostly sitting at around 60-70 assuming they are at the top of the salary range based on experience.

That is only the 5A and 6A head coaches. It is very difficult to get one of those jobs. It is difficult to get any head job here, much less at a 5A or 6A at one of those programs. We regularly see 150 applicants for 2A and 3A head jobs. My previous school was a 3A that went 0-10, fired the HC then had 120 applicants for the job. Only 1 person was interviewed.

We all have to remember, high school football brings in a lot of money in Texas.. One can justify those salaries when a winning program in Texas brings in millions of dollars per year for the school's athletic programs.

Texas newspapers always publish an annual article on this to get people fired up, but It's kind of misleading. Most of these guys making 100k or close to are AD's or at a minimum campus coordinators
so you figure these guys have anywhere from 25-50 people reporting to them, oversee budgets in the hundreds of thousands, and manage facilities that cost millions, not to mention the sheer number of kids that they are responsible for, the average teacher might have 100 kids total to worry about, these guys have every kid that plays a sport on that campus entrusted into their care
in the private sector, a person with that # of reports and that much to look over is making way more than 100k.....it's still chump money for work that gets put in.
the biscuit eaters just like to say "hunerd thousand fer coachin' futbawl!!!!...rabble rabble rabble rabble" and pitchfork around for a while once a year

A couple of notes.
1. Most of the schools are pretty high-income and pay pretty high for base teaching salaries.
2. This sample was only limited to 6A and 5A schools, which means the total enrollment for school is at least 1800+ students, with schools like Allen and Duncanville over 5000 students. The smaller school levels probably pay comparable to other states.
3. Almost all HFCs in Texas are administrators- either a district-level athletic director (in charge of every sport for the district) or a campus athletic coordinator.
4. Many of these coaches have been in education for a long time with a lot of experience- some of them are 25+ years.

I saw somewhere they expect 60,000 plus for the semi final game Allen plays this coming weekend. |

Winning high school football programs are economic multipliers in some areas of the country, especially in Texas. I would imagine the towns themselves bring in a lot of money during football season, outside of the games themselves. |

What does a regular teacher (that doesn't coach anything) make in Texas? Depends on school size... As a general rule in my area if you just teach nothing else you are looking around 46-48k a year |

As someone stated earlier, the larger districts (5A & 6A) pay more. However, the smaller schools located in the oilfields pay good also. These are located in west Texas and south Texas. In these schools the HC is also the AD for boys and girls. They also pay teachers/coaches a lot more than the base salary.
Remember that one thing that raises these salaries are extra days. There are very few schools that don't pay anywhere to 10-20 extra days on a daily rate.

After having seen the entire list of 5A & 6A coaches...It is encouraging to know that my district pays me better than 47 5A/6A HC's. Although, I'm paid nowhere near the top of any coaching salary list. I do find it humorous that on my contract (and it shows up as itemized pay on my check stub) that I get $30 for a cell phone. $30? It's better than nothing, no doubt, but what plan can you get for $30? Tracfone? lol
I am not only the HFC, I'm also the district AD. that means I'm on the same administrative contract (days) as that of any other upper level district administrator (campus principals, asst supts, and supt) Common sense says, the more days you work, the more money you make. Similarly, the more responsibilities and duties you have, typically, the more money you get paid. this isn't to disparage or make light of what any other district employee does but as the HFC/AD I have more duties and responsibilities than quite a few others. therefore, my compensation is greater than the others. am I compensated in a fair and appropriate manner compared to other employees? guess that depends on who you ask. but, i'm not giving back any of my money, lol.

Last year, I think, there was an article that detailed a day in the life of one of these high dollar HFC/AD;s. It was an eye-opener. If somebody remembers it and knows where they can find it posting a link here might enlighten some people about ahat the job entails. |

However, my AD/HC attends all sporting events, home and away. That includes everything from BB, Bsb, Golf, and Track. He basically turns offseason over to us because he is gone so much. Being in west Texas this is a lot of traveling, anywhere between 1-5 hours one way. |
