2,500 at a division III for both men and women, but I teach here as well, and not gym class either. Is anyone else in this situation? If so, how much do you make?

$2500?! You'd be better off financially teaching and coaching at a high school.
NCAA DI Assistants: between 16-22k a year
Heads: between 30-45 (depending on school) Bigger schools with more success could easily go over 100k a year (Ark, Tex, LSU's, etc.). Smaller schools--you better have a second/summer job!
The school that I coach at their is no incentives what so ever linked to performance or graduation.In fact one year that my team won conference I got the usual 2% pay hike,now keep in mind I was pulling in a cool upper $20,000.00 a year,haha....
In fact I hate to admit it but no one really has to win at our school.If you don't piss off the wrong person you got a job for life.
Though most of us are self motivated to have the best team we can.
ALL STATE SALARIES ARE PUBLIC JUST GOOGLE \"\'YOUR STATE\' STATE SALARIES\" YOU SHOULD FIND A LINK SOMEWHERE

Actually, he'd be better off financially working at McDonalds.
For beating the Limey at the state xc meet last year I made about $3500 coaching both boys and girls--about 80 runners. Assistants made about $1500.
You could add the $50,000 I made teaching, but I don't think that's quite fair, to be honest with you. When teaching, I teach. When coaching, I coach. The two are separate parts of my professional life.

It's all education, dude. You're working with the same kids and being paid by the same boss. Coaching is teaching.
HS - VA
2300 Assit XC
1100 Head Indoor
2300 Assit TF
How does that work?
Also, coaching is teaching - but teaching isn't coaching.
i make $1,300 for hs head XC (both teams) and $900 for asst. track (dist. coach for both teams). we don't have indoor.
no incentives for anything and not even a "thanks" after winning state xc two years in a row.
it sure isn't about the money, because i donated my salaries back into the program since it was so grossly underfunded.
oh yeah, here's a div. 1 salary for you:
wofford pays its coach: $20,000. that's the grand total for being head mens and women's xc coach; asst. coach for both indoor teams; asst. coach for both outdoor track teams; and head recruiter for all programs!
no wonder it is the worst div. I program in the nation for about 10 years now.
HS 6 years experience:
43,000 teach
4,000 head track
3,000 head cross
I don't starve, but I don't take many cruises either.
My son attends a very prestigious private school high school and runs track. I think the coach is paid a bit above the norm, but I saw the schools financials the other day and the track coach makes $285,000.00 per year, with significant incentive bonuses for on-the-track success (e.g., state championships, etc.). As I said, I know this is unusually high, but for what we pay in tuition, they've really got the ability to go out and hire the best coaches, and they've done that.
I would imagine college coaches make much more than this, but I really don't know.
Wow the HS salaries. I have been coaching 13 years track and xc and have won 10 region titles, 2 state championships and I make the great sum of $1300 for being the head boys and girls xc and $1200 for being head boys and girls track. If you want to know where I coach it is in the Upstate of South Carolina. My school district has very low pay for coaches and my counter part at my rival school and he is only the head boys coach makes more than both of my salaries combined in just XC and he is only the boys coach. It ain't about he money but about building a successful program. The championships and scholarships is what I am in it for.
$2500 for assistant track, $2000 head xc. If you are really into it with off-season stuff, out-of-season competitions, etc., we're talking less than a buck an hour. But as several have remarked on this thread, we don't do it for the money. I volunteered for a half dozen years and would do it again in a heartbeat (though it is nice to have someone picking up my gas money).

I call bullshit.
Nah, it's not all "education, dude."
Yes, they are similar endeavors: both involve teaching, motivation, and so on. I'm not arguing that.
However, they are separate contracts at different pay rates with different requirements. That's my point. I don't get any extra points for coaching. I do it above and beyond my three high school English preparations and at a lower pay rate.
I love it--wouldn't want to give it up. When I was a senior at this school in 1983, I was captain of our state champion boys xc team. In 1996 I was an assistant coach on our state champion girls xc team. In 2005 I was head coach of our state champion boys xc team. By far the most rewarding year? 2005. That was the first time I could see how many things had to come together over a long period of time, and how much luck and good fortune have to do with winning. The Limey's team very well could have won that day had they not had some bad fortune. We won because we happened to do the right things on that day.

Well, yes, now that you mention it. Thank you very much for noticing that I am, in deed, quite special.
