EastNasty Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Curious to know what some of yall think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workinprogress Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I think HS AD should be a coach or former coach. Too many times ADs have little to no coaching experience and simply have the title but make others do all the work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridayMainEvent Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 The added "AD money" is the only thing keeping some good coaches in position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I would feel funny if I was a HC and the AD is my oc which is also my boss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelMyers76 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 East Nasty, your own AD coaches two other sports. Be careful what you wish for. All the title means in Metro is you have to beg people to sell tickets and concessions and you have to make trips to Sam's and the bank on your own time. Not exactly the "glory" position. The principal still has final say so on any hires. AD has no say. At private schools, the AD becomes all that plus a fund raiser, peace keeper and master schedule maker. At suburban schools, the challenge is to get all the coaches on the same page and try to secure funding also. Rural schools you basically have to make the most of whatever limited resources you have although the townfolk tend to have more loyalty to the "brand". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oridgecat Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Th AD position in Knox County is whichever assistant principal has any knowledge of athletics and is willing to do it. There is no paid supplement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelMyers76 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Metro Nashville is the same except they also have an "athletic business manager" position that is paid and actually does all the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is alot of work to do for not getting paid. You have to do scheduling for all sports teams boys and girls. Arrange and approve transportation for all sports. Find ticket takers and concession workers, oversee all the gate monies and team budgets. Takes a very dedicated person to do all that for no extra pay.

MichaelMyers76 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Nobody in Metro would do it if it wasn't a paid position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
