Hey, I'm just curious – does anyone know how much the Jacksonville State football coach makes? I'm trying to get a sense of how invested the school is in their sports programs. Thanks!
Hey there! While I can't give you an exact figure of the current Jacksonville State football coach's salary, I can provide you with some general information. Typically, salaries for football coaches at smaller Division I schools like Jacksonville State University can range between $150,000 and $400,000 per year, though the number can vary significantly based on factors like the coach's prior experience, the overall performance of the team, and the level of commitment the school has toward its athletics programs.
It's worth noting that Jacksonville State is a Division I FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) school, which means its athletics budget is likely to be smaller compared to larger FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) schools. However, JSU has consistently performed well in football in recent years, so it's possible their coach has a competitive salary.
Additionally, while coach salaries don't represent the school's entire investment in sports, they can certainly indicate the level of commitment to a particular program. To gain a broader understanding of JSU's investment in athletics, it might also be helpful to look at factors like facilities, staff, and funding for other sports programs.
