So what! Whether a salary is posted or not- do your own research and find out what the current/former coach was paid; what other coaches make at that institution and in that conference. Also have your floor, ceiling and middle amount that makes sense for you to live on and have the experience(s) and references to back it up. Ask what the "expected pay range" is and if it's up for disscussion. Some of ya'll come off so helpless and pitiful! More people are negotiating their salaries than you Debbie downers think!
Lol if you post a job and you don't list what the pay range is you're obviously hiding something. What a joke. If you're okay with wasting your time on an interview only to find out they're paying 25k and partial benefits then go nuts I guess. I'm too far in my career to take risks like that.
Some post salaries or pay grade info...some don't. Once again, it isn't hard to look at or into a school and figure out if they will pay a wage I can live with. My time is precious, so I've never wasted it applying to a low ball position type school. I know prior to applying because I call and/or email the HC for an Asst position or AD for HC position AND ASK! It ain't hard to look up salaries either. Half of these schools ya'll complain about...it isn't a surprise.
Winthrop University Athletic Director Chuck Rey announced the hiring of Raffael Craig as the head track & field/cross country coach on Thursday afternoon.
As pathetic as this is, there’s nothing in place that stops this from occurring. In the medical field for Instance, you cannot have any prior knowledge or relationship with someone you hire it is against the policies and rules. Unfortunately that isn’t the case in this field.
I want to know how the hell do these people get these type of jobs. Does the Head Coach/Director just say "I know more proven coaches have applied, but f*** it, they ran 4 years at D1, Hired"
I believe this was called right after Washington State let go of their three assistant coaches in the sprints, jumps and throws that Julie Taylor was going back to Idaho.
I have no insight on whether this is a good hire or a bad hire, I just think it's hilarious the picture they used was literally from her graduation photoshoot.
If you are reading this, this is your sign to quit looking for a college job, find something else to make you money, and coach High School or Middle School.
I promise you, you will have a better life like this, and enjoy the sport more.

Am I missing something?
What you have to understand is that some jobs are just not meant for the more experienced person. Some jobs are to assist someone who is already in the experienced role they want someone they can mold or do the other work they don’t want to do.
I’ve been in situations where I applied for some jobs being overqualified AF and did it just to see if I was right and sure enough I didn’t get a call or reply and the person hired had 1/10th of the experience or accolades as I did. I’m sure those in charge of the hire had to scratch their head as to why I was even applying in the first place.
look for positions that fit where you’re at and be confident in yourself. Don’t worry about the jobs that are meant for inexperienced people they usually fade away in a few years and you want to be a staple. Work your way to being a HC instead of an assistant to an assistant at a big school.
Yes I agree, but again that is because the guy who made a name for himself at the smaller school level as a HC has too much experience to drop down to the role needed to get into the big school, and most likely would also be taking a pay cut.
I can tell you this though, if you could quantify the coaching chops of that low level assistant at the bigger school vs the coach at the smaller school that worked their way up to HC, it’s not even close to a comparison. The smaller school coach is 100x the coach than him and most likely the person they’re answering to.

Small school athletes only know that experience and only will have success with that type of athlete. That's why the job list has big boy jobs listed separately.

Hm. Was just offered a volunteer coach job at a D1. Would be leaving a fun HS team where I have had success. Gotta choose!
