The way around big coaching salaries is to give the coach enough fake job titles and small salaries to add up to one big salary. However, I think the days of a coach sitting on his duff all day and not teaching at least a PE class is definitely coming to an end. Especially if the state is taking over and breathing down everybody's necks.

Another matter entirely is secret envelopes full of booster cash changing hands . That will continue.

True story.
A lot of football coaches are also athletic directors and conditioning or PE "teachers".
After you add all of it up, its a pretty big salary.

Theres also boosters and parents that like to write checks in some places.
