NCAA Coaching Salaries

do u only have public schools?

What's an average salary for a d2/d3 coach that coaches track/xc on an above average (ie. top 10-15 at xc regionals) team?

Texas A&M, Texas, Missouri, Arizona State, Michigan, Cal and....UC DAVIS??!!

The fact that UC Davis has two coaches over $100k is preposterous.

As of Oct 2008, at LSU:

Dennis Shaver $190,000

Murk Elliott $80,000

Todd Lane $75,000

Caveat: Shaver's salary, as listed, is what he is paid by the University. The Tiger Athletic Foundation may, and likely does, offer him additional base compensation. For example, head football coach Les Miles gets $300k (less than his off. coordinator who makes 400k) from the university, but TAF forks over enough to pay him over $2MM.

Lananna: $150k-600k (safe to assume he's making more than 150)

Bob Braman: 160k

I think it's awesome.

If it's correct.

old list?

vigilante is not at texas last time i checked.

Vig is at Virginia as head Director and makes $148k.

How did you get this info? From people on these boards? Or did you talk to any of the coaches? Just curious.

UC Davis coaches are from the D-II days. They are both tenured faculty members whose salaries are based on their contributions to track and field in this country (much like other faculty salaries are based on contributions in their field). Dee was the head Olympic coach in 1996 and Jon has coached on numerous national teams. Both have contibuted heavily to the inner workings of USATF and coaches education in the US.

$89049 Jerry Schumacher Wisconsin Distance

Of course Jerry makes more than this now. Also, some of they Assistants/Associates are Head coaches of XC (a post that Warhurst still holds).

Nice.

Here is the link to look up State employees in California.

I have thought about doing a list myself. Please post your list soon. It's pretty interesting to see what some of these coaches will tolerate as far as compensation is concerned vs. what they have to put in hour wise to do a decent job. In California you have to report all the money you make both from public sources and private. So if you look up some coaches and see the state pays them $30,000, but the total compensation is $100,000, you know they have a successful side business.

This isn't entirely unusual for some "old" coaches that are tenured faculty. The reality check comes when they retire and the new candidate for head coach, thinking he is in line for a $120k job, has the bomb dropped on him by admin that the job pays about $65kIif that). I bet you there are some old coaches at small schools (even DII and DIII) that make good coin as tenured faculty.

I don't know anything about these two. I'm sure they've done some good things, but if MY best contribution was to the "inner workings of usatf and coaches education" I wouldn't want that advertised. USATF, and coaches education in particular, are a disaster.

Several years ago, when I was considering attending Level I school, I asked a reputable coach if he thought I would learn anything. He laughed at me and told me that it was a waste of time and proceeded to list about 10 of the best coaches in the country that had never attended USATF coaches education (Himself, McDonnell, Wetmore, Warhurst, etc).

Yes. Agreed.

University of Massachusetts T&F salaries (2008)

Julie Lafreniere

Head Coach, Track & XC (women)

$79,439.90

Kenneth L. Obrien

Head Coach, Track & XC (men)

$103,216.00

But you can look up any state employees' salaries online, and if you can sort it by the state schools, you can look up the coaches' salaries.

I coach DIII men and women indoor and outdoor and XC and I get paid 20K

I find this hard to believe. I think you read it wrong. Example?

Did anyone else find that Bev Kearny, the women's coach at Texas makes $263, 000 and Bubba Thornton the men's coach at Texas makes $190,000. In male testosterone infested Texas that has to be highly interesting.
