salary for Head Coach?

A highly touted new website says salaries average about US$46,000 with a range from $25-50k.

That’s for a hypothetical coach with 10-years experience and a University degree in Physical Education working in Las Vegas.

But how many head coaches are also owners here in the states? In some of the larger clubs I guess that isn’t the case but I’m interested in what the statistic is?

Many people who are owners would probably be better suited with sport management degrees than physical education.

just mho though, so take with a grain of salt.

This internet tool is pretty crude, as you can see.

I put the post up mainly to get coaches thinking. Many are underpaid, I feel.

Salaries have not gone up as fast as in other far-less-demanding industries.
