Georgia HS Coach Salaries and "Bonuses"

[OldSchoolLion]

...just sharing, folks.   It's always a good idea to know what you are worth relative to the prevailing market price.

At least 36 hs coaches in GA make $100k or more per year...the video shows individual salaries.

"Legal" booster club bonuses.  In another post someone asked where a coach might get money to pay a kid to transfer...Below is a fairly recent case involving an Atlanta hs where parents were shocked to find out about the practice of bonuses.   Am not implying these folks are guilty of recruiting anyone..just trying to show the interesting ways money is available for good and not-so-good purposes.

This is not a new issue, but may be for some of you.  A couple years ago there was talk of powerhouse Bellevue Washington's coach receiving $60k from the booster club.  The Booster Club Prez was a former Microsoft CFO.  Think he might a few bucks to play around with for his favorite football team?

No agenda for mentioning this, just found it interesting.

At 1:08 in the newscast video of the third link above, the name on the check is Kareem Reid.  He took over as head coach at Westlake High in 2016 after serving as head coach for a few years at Coconut Creek.  In his last season at CC, Reid had 3 US Army Americans on that team.  Wide receiver Binjimen Victor, cornerback Malek Young and cornerback Trayvon Mullen
