no coach is worth $20 thousand a year. sorry. if that is indeed what they are paying smith then that is ridiculous and a well deserved cut is needed. people here in lawrence want to pay cook something like that but they complain about the lack of textbooks or a raise in their property tax. and no way smith would get the lawrence job. mark it down.

The statement of 26,000 cut was not all from coaching. Smith does not earn 20,000 from coaching. That amount included cuts he would lose from his extended days due to his teaching/administration job in addition to what he would lose from his coaching stipend. We will have to wait and see if this indeed is what happens in Martin Co. Time will tell, but some of the coaches are looking at jobs in other counties.
