"We have to do something to keep our good coaches in this state from running to Georgia, to Alabama, to Texas to get paid what most believe is a fair wage." According to a 2021 analysis by the USA Today Florida Network, the average supplement for a first-year head football coach in Florida was approximately $4,650 for the 2020-21 school year. In Palm Beach County, the supplement for a head football coach is $4,500 and the average tenure is just more than two years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ga96 Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Florida folks get and deserve what they vote for. Its across all sports. I hear florida baseball coaches complain all the time when they play games at lowndes. That's why the ones who can end up moving to georgia. Heck matt debuc is the hc act cardinal gibbons and he doesn't hide the fact he wants to leave and coach at a top south Ga school. Lowndes Valdosta and Colquitt all chose not to hire him. I definitely put him in from my little position as a booster and alumni but that didn't amount to nothing. The good ole boys got the coach they wanted in adam cater and now they've got the results they wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s for sure a factor in FL’s large number of football transfers annually. The HC moving van is very active and is/or was spotlighted by Josh on his FL HSFB site. I recall over 100 HC moves annually (sacked or own choice). Infrastructure/coaching/facilities/Tutoring assistance/more school visits in spring/etc. Hard to argue with parents/son decisions. *Your grandfather gave you your nickname? I can’t remember for sure. My wife’s nickname is Biedronka, which rhymes with her first name and means ladybug in Polish. Popular store nowadays. 🇵🇱 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loved baseball and when I was small (about 5 or 6) we’d play catch and he’d call me horsefly.

Nolebull813 Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Georgia coming in at 27th. If GA funded teachers as well as they do the football coaches who play garbage teams for cheap wins, their education might be higher. Valdosta has only a quarter of kids at or above grade level. Everyone else is on pace to be like ga96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how they can easily raise enough money to pay these more than deserving coaches. They should mos def be paid way more than other places like ga and nj. Much better coaching and way better talent too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did take it up usnews.com and for facts sake Florida was #14 in K-12 education (NJ #1). I’m pointing this out because the discussion was about moving from high school to high school. Next time read the whole article instead of just the heading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the first thing I take in consideration, source (both publication source and poster). Nole just misrepresented the facts in the article (not purposely but out of ignorance, which is even worse) or the context wasn’t represented correctly. That why I don’t even go to the other side, it’s a shit show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuition cost: less, thus debt less 43.2% population approx college educated Lot of transplants in FL (like me) who were college educated elsewhere. Lot of retirees with college education that moved to FL. The attached remainder is a sad look at the U.S. educational system (graduation rate HS) and not exactly a wow factor for FL. My review has been done without coffee, but imo not exactly stellar criteria for a #1 ranking in education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
