Cost of Living As Well isn’t just a user name in this case. I lived in this area 15-20 years ago while making similar salary and struggled to make ends meet. Taxachussets!

Part-time assistant XC/Distance coach at Clarke University. We're an NAIA in Dubuque, Iowa. Pays 15k. If any coaches on here have recently graduated seniors that are looking to get into coaching while also continuing to train, I think this is a good gig. Low cost of living, nice area and flexible part-time work as a coach.
If anyone is interested please reach out atYou should be embarrassed to post this job on a professional website. The pay is below standard and it is obvious that you are not taking this program seriously. Just give that money to your head coach and keep it moving. If you want an assistant coach, be a professional and pay US coaches like the professionals we are. This substandard pay is BS.

Either you are hiring as a part time employee or you are not obeying the national law according to the ACA. Secondly, the salary is incredibly low. This is not 1990 , where this was a good salary for coaching. I hope NOONE applies for this position and it forces HR to increase the offered salary. DO BETTER

No way Gary's would work "with" a Head Track Coach. There is no autonomy during track season... they work for HIM
It would be weird for Coach Gary to work under Coach Rita, but for 34 XC scholarships and raises, and this new legislation, who knows? They had 14 total scholarships when I was on team. When will decision be?
Love me some Rita from Furman. She's been a smoke show since I ran with her at USF.

What's the latest at FSU? I heard they took away quite a few XC scholarships and the AD is a complete prick.

You got something against the school or what? It literally says PART-TIME. It even says it again, FLEXIBLE PART-TIME

I really don't understand what you all complain about regarding part-time jobs or entry level full time jobs. If it weren't for these opportunities, young coaches would never have a chance to even enter the profession.
They will literally be paid to run with the team. Work your tail off, network, and earn bigger jobs.
Most of the top college coaches today started as high school coaches, volunteers, or part time. If you aren't willing to make sacrifices to earn a better opportunity, you have no business getting into coaching to begin with.

You’d think a school that charges $88k per student and a $3BILLION endowment could afford to pay more than $15/hr to a coach.

Zero years coaching experience and gets a power 5 job at Kansas State, one year there and now has a job in the SEC 👍 Some don’t have to work their way up the ladder at all.
Brett Halter has always hired young assistant coaches and none are around longer than 2-4 years! Do not think that’s a coincidence!

I don't care what they want to call it. At 36k and no Benefits. You are making less then a drug addict with no skill pushing a lawnmower. Point blank period. Let me guess they prefer the applicant to have a master degree?

Yet there will still be 50 applicants and the reason why our salaries will stay low.

I don't have anything against the school. I have something against not supporting the head coach/ running program and future assistant coach by offering a BS $15,000 for someone to recruit, hold practices, and travel with a team. This is a full time position that is being paid as a second class employee. Practice times / recruiting/ and travel will interfere with a full time employees job. Thus requiring this applicant to have to get a part time job to cover expenses. So the ideal person would have a Part time job (Fast food) and then come work Part time to coach? Our universities need to do better and support the student athletes by providing them with coaches that are fully invested, instead of being distracted about financial responsibilities. If you want a Grad Asst, then just advertise for that.
