Believe it or not, there are many college coaches that really enjoy coaching that don’t care much about salary or ego. We do it because we love the sport and the challenge. I started out making $5K a year and was loving life coaching. Do not care what anyone thinks of my ability. I enjoy helping my athletes reach new levels of success. Thats my “Pay” and motivation. I make enough to live a good life (Under $40K) and could care less about ego’s.

So you’re saying you don’t have kids or a family…. Or you just have a sugar mama/sugar daddy.

It’s easy to say it’s not able the money when you sound Nobel. But when you have a family you sound like a complete jerk. Is about the money? Yea. But it’s more about the justification of spending so much time on something to then have to turn around and spend time somewhere else just to make up that money. Cause all of that is time neglecting your family.

Some of these little snot nose runts who will accept 28k a year don’t even have a GF T alone a family they just desperately want to coach so what you’re saying, while true, falls on def ears to most of these kids.

Let*. As long as these guys are accepting that salary they will keep it that low. You know you don’t have to accept the initial offer right?

Has Doug Fraley, their jumps coach left? I know that Erica left in the middle of winter semester to go back to Louisiana and look after their pole vault facility. And didn't Phipps just hire some gal from Cincinnati to take over CharLee Linton when she went to Utah?

Doug Fraley has left. Yogi Teevens has left. Lara Rogers has left for a position at Under Armor. Loss of some outstanding coaches.

re: out West and down South

The University of Idaho Track & Field program is still considering candidates for our assistant track & field coaching position overseeing the throws.

Moscow is a beautiful college town, the University offers a wide range of outstanding academic programs, there are tremendous facilities including a brand new indoor track being laid down at this moment in the Kibbie Dome, already highly talented student-athletes within the throws group, and there is a RICH history in the throws.

This position will remain open until filled:

Any school offering 28k a year probably has zero interest in negotiating in the first place.

I'm confused at what you're getting at here. You're saying young coaches, most of whom are in Volunteer or GA positions, should pass up full-time opportunities that don't offer enough salary? Are you that disconnected that you don't realize how hard it is to get your foot in the door or how competitive most positions are? Most postings get enough serious candidates that if the program's top choice turns the position down when they won't budge on salary there will be 3-5 other qualified coaches ready to take it. While I agree some of these salaries are ridiculously low, you can't blame struggling young coaches working their butts off 60-80 hours/week for accepting a way out. We're a non-revenue sport with high roster numbers and low funding. Turning down low-paying jobs isn't going to change that as unfortunate as it is.

I heard Gooris has young kids and wants to get out of coaching, and Stults never saw eye to eye with the head coach.
