AztecPadre Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 A cap on how much one can earn? Do not agree. If the school and tax payers want to pay someone 200k thats up to them and not the state. Waste of time and resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GloryDays Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Couple thoughts- Alabama has an interesting (read: outdated/shitty) funding formula for K-12. Seems that lot's of USD money flows through the state, so currently this law would be a state issue. https://www.google.com/amp/www.al.com/articles/19618411/alabamas_school_finance_formul.amp It also doesn't currently affect coaches who teach. Booster club money has not yet been discussed it seems, so that option for schools with cash flow seems to be available. Not a terrible idea, just seems like we're seeing a really rough draft in this article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting Saban's pay, and possibly opening the door for him to leave could set the entire state on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Rush Propst was making shy of 150K.... last I checked and he is not the highest paid HSFB coach in GA.... not even in the top 4.... I know when Valdosta was looking for a Coach they had a lot of FL applicants.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 There is a 50K gap between the highest paid HC in GA and the 2nd highest.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
