I oughta get a teaching certificate, move to Texas, and become a Dbacks and strength/conditioning coach there.

That would get you an extra $2,500 over the teacher salary schedule and one extra conference period in a nearby district with five 5A (biggest) high schools.

Only the head football coaches are overpaid. Usually by granting them the title of "Athletic Director". I think the Athletic Director is responsible for scheduling all teams, but what else that job entails is beyond me.

I can't speak for smaller school districts, but in the larger ones (5A) there is a seperate Athletic Director - his job is ranked above that of the Head Coaches in town - he is a demi-god........ ;^)

I was personally aware of a Coach who made almost double what the average teacher was making - of course he had won a State Championship and had several years of at least making the playoffs -
