And Giles New Coach Is.........


Recommended Posts

several of the richer alabama countys such as madison, and then several of the counties in tennessee, namely williamson, davidson, somewhat rutherford, have pay systems that will pay coaches with years of experience close to 80,000 a year, assistants sometimes high 60's, low 70's..... i guy with 20 years plus with a masters would like someone else said make around 53,00...there is some summer work there but will still struggle mightly to make it even close to 60,000...no matter what is said if a person can make 15-20,000 per year they have to atleast think of what that can do for their family in the present and their future in retirement...many times when a coach is successful and leaves he is hated by the communnity and many times he has to take care of his family...no matter how much you like a place or that we all like our job...truth is most people if offered 15 - 20k a year raise would go in a minutes unless it was a long way away, if you say no you are very well usually or just so ingrained where you live that no one can make you leave home

 

Williamson County does not pay head coaches much money compared to other school systems. A head football coach in Williamson County earns $6,000. In Davidson it is a percentage of gross teacher pay (10%). Assistant coaches earn less. None of the TN counties you selected pay $70,000 per year! I have no doubt some booster clubs kick in extra money in some places but all of that would be on the books if they follow the TSSAA regulations. It is true that some Alabama schools pay $10,000 or more per year than TN schools.

I don't mean to disagree but if you go to willlaimson county schools and look at the salary schedule for a teacher lets say with more than 20 years and a masters degree plus the head coaching supplement you will find it either just under 70,000 or just over...true the head coaching supplement is not as big as some others but the money is made in the teaching salary and that is not including any type of supplement for weights or other sports

finally, in metro you are closer to being correct, metro salary with masters 58, 290 per year and i believe the coaching supplement is close to 12 which works out to just under 7,000,.00 per years, coaches can earn up to a total of either 20 or 22 % of their yearly salary if they coach other sports, makes for a long year but is done many times.....just saying that those two communities can deliver a little more money for sometimes less work...i did not mean to lie about the salary....one pays because of their increased affluence and the other pays a litte more because the teaching situation is a little harsher and also it is in an urban setting

I was not looking at 21 years, I thought they capped at 15 years? When I was there, few coaches had that many years and the coaching supplemental (incremental increase) wasn't much. The base pay for a head coach is still $6000. How many head football coaches in Williamson County have over 20 years experience?

This is simply false. Any system that pays supplements based on salary percentage pays more to coaches than base supplement systems. It doesn't take but just a few years of teaching to get to what many systems pay.

Head football coach in Metro gets 12% of his base salary as a supplement. He gets a number of assistant coaches which is based on the number of players on the team. More players=more assistants. High school assistants and head freshman coach earn 9%. Assistant freshman coach (only get one) gets 6%. There ya go.

So Leroy, you are saying a assistant in Madison County pulls down $70+ a year? That would put the head man over $80? Now I know you're glad they are gone as am I, so yea if he told you that then he is a lier based on the reasons he gave me for leaving.

 

If it was $$$$ that tipped the scales then adios amigos. It matters not because this thread is about the new crew. A coach is in into public high school football to get rich? Not happening.... :thumb:

Some like money more than others. But, money is not the reason our assistants did not take the head job at GCHS. One of them doesn't want to be a head coach. He decided to leave when the other one did not take the job. The other one did not think he was ready to be a head coach.

If you are not rich, money is an issue in everything we do. But morals and integrity are what a lot of people base there decisions on. Does not matter why our staff is gone. They are gone. Get over it. Move on. It is time for a new staff and a new leader. Bobcats will be on top again, and it may be this year. You have got to look at talent. There is a lot of talent on the team for next year. Whoever the new coach is, he will be happy to coach those young men.

So when one of the assistants looked me in the eye and said that he would be taking a 10 to 15 thousand dollar pay cut to stay at Giles and that he didn't know if it would be worth it, he was lying? Yeah, ok.........

    • Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war. Hope all stays healthy. 
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
