Salary

So you obviously have an internet connection, but somehow you don't have access to the google?

Coach will net you $250-350K

Assistant coach varies: $25-80k

The numbers above are complete BS on the head coach part, and I know salaries from some of the current coaches I have spoken to that I used to compete against when we were both athletes, and my college coaches that have now gone to varying schools have had no problem sharing their varying salaries university to university.

Some directors/head of track and field coaches in mid majors only make $50-55K.

Don't go into it for the money.

You are correct no google for me

You can look up most power 5 salaries because they are public schools. The average is around$200k. High level assistant coaches such as xc are near $100k while low level assistants are $40k. I don't doubt that crappy schools only pay $50k.

I’d say SEC head coaches probably average above $200, but mouse, pat, and a few others drive that figure up. TN, Ole Miss, MSU, Vandy, Mizzou, and maybe Bama under $200

ACC heads probably average between $125-150. Clemson and FSU at or above 200 and wake, Pitt, ND, unc not much above 110. BC, Duke, N.C state higher due mostly to longevity.

PAC 12 probably around $200 with much more parity. USC, Washington, Oregon on the high side, Utah, osu, WSU prolly under 150

Big 12 is all over the map. Take Flo out and the average is still close to 2. OSU, Baylor, Texas tech probably around or above 2. But OU, ISU, WVU, TCU definitely lower.

Big 10 I’d say averages under 175. Michigan , OSU, Nebraska my guess for highest and some solid ones like Purdue, Iowa and Indiana but some really low ones in there too like MD, Rutgers, MSU

Any D2 or D3 coaches out there making $100k+?

Go into teaching and coach HS. You’ll make more and get a pension.

Also you’ll be a teacher. Might as well say go be a stockbroker and coach after work. That’s not coaching as a profession. So tired of teachers who couldn’t make it pretending they have a better job than full-time coaches who make actual money. They would drop teaching immediately if they had the skills, or guts.

By the way, on a team of 100 high school kids how many actually have the motivation to work and listen? 20? 5?

Probably only if they've been around for a long time and have some accolades in the track community. For example, Dee and Vee were Co head coaches at Davis and retired at 100k each.

Keep in mind that in d2 and d3, the coaches generally teach as well and require a masters. Part of the pay is coming from there.

Iowa State is $250k.

D3 coaches earn $25k and D2 coaches earn $50k. Only real D1 programs earn good salaries.

I know some D3 assistants making $35-40k in some of the stronger conferences. Also know some D3 head coaches that are $60-75k. Just depends on the place.

What’s the salary for college coaches, and assistant coaches

My dad works as a gym coach in college and he used to get very little money a month. His maximum salary was about $ 4,500 and this is a very small amount. He had been promised a raise for a long time, but he was even afraid to talk with the boss. Once his friend sent him advice on how to properly request a raise from the boss at https://investedwallet.com/asking-for-a-raise/ and he decided to give it a try. You cannot even imagine how happy he was when he came home in the evening. His boss told him that he was one of the best teachers and that my father’s current salary would be about $ 7,000. So the advice on this site really helped my dad))

I know at least 1 coach in D3 making over $100k.
