It is nice to teach/coach in Texas, guys, but don't believe everything you read about the no classes, big pay, etc. I am a coordinator, and have been one for a large number of years, and teach 4 classes a day, two preps. That is two preps each semester, which is actually 4 preps for the year. One of my classes is an AP class which requires as much of my time as coaching. Or so it seems. BTW, I get no extra money for teaching AP.I envy Coach Huey. He is a coordinator in a AAAA school and says he only has one class, I have been a coordinator ina AAAA school and had, 4classes. I spent four years as a head football coach and had 4 classes.
I have only been at one school in my career where I did not have to drive a bus.
I have 35 years of experience and make in the mid $50's.
Those are the realities of Texas coaching. Don't think everyone has a gravy train.
yes, split, i feel very fortunate. there probably are certain "perks" with coaching at a 5a school in tx (5a is largest class, for non-tx guys).
I have been to both extemes....5A Coordinator....5 Classes.....5A Assistant 1 Class....I am lucky and forunate to be in the situation I am in....thats why I started this tread....what looked to be a good job when I was teaching 5 classes...now...looks like a poor job...
