Less than I should for what I do but about 10 grand

More than my degree should get me but about 5 grand

How's that for an answer?

Mr. Chicken keeps Ms Chicken in a cage and collects her eggs before placing them in a basket? Gotta be eggs from caged hens. Otherwise he'd be worth way more.

[MR. CHICKEN]

WE'RE ALL IN UH CAGE......IT'S JES' UH BIG....ROUND ONE...............BRAWK!

[ST_Lawson]

I work for the state of Illinois...probably going to be getting a nice -10% raise this year ;)

[BEAR]

I think Coach Campbell at UCA makes $185,000 a year. Don't know about any bonuses for accomplishments but he does a show so I imagine he gets a little money for that.

From state funds. The president gets supplements from support foundations. The coaches can earn bonuses as wel.

[Professor Chaos]

CCU does have the richest coach in the FCS (and FBS) I bet though.

EDIT: Damn, maybe not. The interwebs say Saban is worth $30M but Moglia is only worth $24M. Definitely highest in the FCS though.

According to a document on Indiana State's website: http://www2.indstate.edu/business-affairs/docs/isu_2013-100R.pdf
In 2013, their coach Mike Sanford earned $176,452.52

[rokamortis]

CCU does have the richest coach in the FCS (and FBS) I bet though.

EDIT: Damn, maybe not. The interwebs say Saban is worth $30M but Moglia is only worth $24M. Definitely highest in the FCS though.

That's one of the main reasons why his base is so low - he just doesn't need the money. He does expect to get paid for doing a job though but also wanted to allocate some of his salary / budget to assistant coaches. The guy knows that you have to surround yourself with good staff and money gets you a long way. I think many FCS schools will give the head coach a raise but then it gets tougher for their assistants.

I like Moglia a lot, just seems like a real charismatic guy who knows how to lead. Whenever he ends up moving on and you guys are FBS that checkbook will need to be opened up to find a new coach though. But in any case, CCU is very fortunate to have a coach like Moglia who does the job just because he enjoys the game and is very good at it at the same time.

Agreed on all counts. If Moglia stays on our ride to FBS then I'm sure he'll get a raise to be more inline with other Sun Belt coaches.

I'm not sure if he'll get an offer that he will want to take - he has mentioned in the past that he's had 'conversations' with some schools in the past but nothing that would make him want to leave. I think he's holding out for a P5 job - I don't know if he'll get any offers that he'd accept but this is the best year if it were to happen with the number of openings and his age.

[kdinva]

You'll find VMI's coach's salary in the bottom 25 percentile, I am sure..... xbangx

[jacksfan29]

John Stiegelmeier - 195K

Our head men's bb coach is at 212K, women's bb 205,9K

He and an independent reporter who wrote his biography have refuted that.

I jumped ship a while ago. After working for both my alma mater Illinois State Univ. and the Univ. of Illinois. I vowed never again to work for the State of Illinois. Private sector jobs for me from now on.

Last private sector job I had, I was managing a retail store...long hours (especially around the holidays), essentially no benefits, more stress, less job security, for about 2/3 of what I make now. I don't plan on going back unless my job gets eliminated (a possibility, but unlikely at this point).

SFA Head Coach: Clint Conque

6-Year Contract: $200,000 a year base salary, plus on field and academic performance incentives (around $275,000 to $300,000) if he gets all the incentives

$700,000 salary pool for assistant coaches, plus on field and academic performance incentives.

[Laker]

Todd Hoffner, football coach of D2 MSU-Mankato just signed a four year contract for $126,397 per year.

Not bad for a guy who lost his job on a bogus charge and got it back.

At CCU, the Football coach is not the highest paid employee.

#2 - Basketball Coach
#3 - Baseball Coach

#5 - Athletic Director

#10 - University President
#11 - Football Coach

What kind of president at an Fcs school is making less than two coaches and his own AD?

[RootinFerDukes]

I believe Everett withers at JMU is the highest paid Fcs coach. I think he's 350k a year. Don't quote me on that.
He took a paycut coming from Ohio state, but the entire defensive staff was rumored to be fired at season's end.

[Franks Tanks]

Patriot League coaches make somewhere between 150-200K ( I think). I wouldn't be completely shocked if someone made a bit more or a bit less, but we pretty much pay market rate, but not top of the market (except maybe Fordham).

Fordham was paying Tom Pecora about 700-750k before firing him. Given the cost of living in NYC I wouldn't be surprised if Moorhead was making close to 300k with incentives....

[Franks Tanks]

Possibly for sure. It takes a little extra to get these guys to come to NYC. I think Bagnoli is making 400k or something at Columbia. Probably more than the JMU guy, who someone said was the highest paid coach in FCS.

Turner Gill is the highest at about 400 - though because of being a private school I don't know how much of that is base. Rocco used to get 400 there as well, but a couple links say it was only about 225 base with the rest on incentives.

Mark Farley is next at 343 base.

Al Bagnoli is rumored to be making 400k plus at Columbia. I can't find an article to confirm, but it is very plausible to me.
Is that base though? I guess that wouldn't shock me. I assume the Ivy's could/would be the highest if all coaches were looked at, just by nature of who they are.

Farley is based at 343. Rocco was rumored to be at 400, but based at 225ish. Withers might get to 400 with media, incentives, etc..., but from all accounts is based between 300-325.

No idea. Getting Al to come to Columbia was a pretty big deal in Ivy circles so it wouldn't surprise me however. It was stated that Columbia football increased their budget by nearly 50%,and those funds were mostly directed to coaching staff salaries.

[JayJ79]

judging things by "base salary" can be deceptive, especially if some of the "incentive bonuses" are easily attainable and paid out pretty much every year. Plus the additional payouts for sports camps and media/etc. that will be paid regardless of the team's performance.

just another example of the shell game that is college sports accounting.

[chattownmocs]

Huesman is up to 231, 000 base.

[ST_Lawson]

Including likely bonuses and things, it looks like our Coach Nielson probably ended up with about $225k-230k (base was just under $207k), which would make him the second highest paid employee on campus behind the university President ($270k).

[BisonBacker]

[RootinFerDukes]

Everett Withers is 325k base. I guess he's the highest CAA coach... maybe. Too lazy to look it up. How is Columbia throwing that kind of money at a guy who loses so much? I'm surprised the academics first crowd at an Ivy school aren't burning down the president's office in protest over that investment.

That is pennies to Columbia, plus probably privately funded by guys like Bob Kraft. What is a few hundred grand a year to someone like him?

The situation became so dire under the previous coach, even the anti-athletic folks seemed to realize something needed to be done.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

What type of perks do these guys get? Montana State's Rob Ash and his family got a free membership at the best private club (because I worked there) in Bozeman. Does Coen get a membership at Saucon Valley? Tavani at Northampton CC? Car deals? Ash got a free Chevy 1500 compliments of the local Chevy dealership.

[eiu1999]

I'm sure free food quite a bit. Not that Charleston has much you want to be eating a lot.

The funny thing is Coach Spoo still lives in Charleston. xeyebrowx

A lot of private clubs give out honorary memberships to local colleges. I doubt MSU pays anything for Ash's membership. I worked at a club in the FM area and we gave honorary memberships to NDSU as well as the DII and DIII school in town. I know Bohl never took our offer because I believe they gave him the Fargo CC membership because it's nicer.

Pretty much anyone involved with UNI athletics gets a membership to the best course in the CF area....and UNI's golf team uses another course in the area (and the HC is the club pro at that course"

[Professor Chaos]

clenz, do you know if Farley gets any cash incentives for his sons that went to school there?

That piques my curiosity when a coaches kid plays at the same university he/she is at. With a perk like that they could basically get an extra scholarship to give to another player if their own kid is getting paid through as a perk of the coaching job. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I know a lot of smaller schools are very liberal with "academic" scholarships to student-athletes who don't get athletic scholarship money so it's really no different.

I don't think so. I don't think UNI has any kind of legacy or child tuition waivers, maybe I'm wrong though.

Now, if Mark pays full tuition for Jared (and Jake) I can't say. I doubt it, but it wouldn't surprise me.

SFA Head Coach: Clint Conque

6-Year Contract: $200,000 a year base salary, plus on field and academic performance incentives (around $275,000 to $300,000) if he gets all the incentives

$700,000 salary pool for assistant coaches, plus on field and academic performance incentives.

That's great for him. He wanted $200,000 when he was at UCA but the donors said no. Now Coach Campbell makes that plus incentives and perks plus his camps and media show pay. I don't know what his total is but I'd imagine its close to $250k with all those things added. Not quite the SFA money but not bad for a school that was so cheap with Conque. xlolx Good news for SFA is Conque will get graduation rates up higher and get that bonus money. He's always been great at that! xthumbsupx

if any tuition benefits were given to a coach's kid that wasn't available to the kids of other (non-athletic) university faculty, I'm sure the program would be forced to consider that as part of the scholarship limit.
Makes me wonder if schools that DO have such tuition discounts for children of all faculty/staff/etc. would have to include such assistance towards the scholarship limits in the case of coaches kids.

Aren't scholarships for football a full ride? So the free tuition for employees kids is a non issue?

[clenz]

Aren't scholarships for football a full ride? So the free tuition for employees kids is a non issue?
No.

FCS has 63 scholarships to split between, up to, 85 players anyway coaches see fit.

[eiu1999]

No.

Ok, so the free tuition should count toward the benefit then.

[clenz]

Ok, so the free tuition should count toward the benefit then.
What's the difference?

[UNI Pike]

The state of Iowa is pretty stingy on special deals in regards to college. I have never heard of discounts for staff, legacy, certain state reciprocity, etc.

I think they don't want to open it up to the inevitable abuse. I remember that a few years back there was a pretty big stink made of the situation where Iowa's coach Ferentz having a son on a FB full ride - the son was living off campus in some sort of rent assisted housing for low income families. Meanwhile, dad is literally the highest paid public employee in the state.
