how much does a college coach make
Lower-tier coaches make far less than their Division I counterparts. Coaching salaries vary drastically in division II and III athletic programs. Some coaches at relatively prominent lower-division schools still hold six-figure contracts, but many have more modest incomes in the five-figure range. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the average yearly earnings of low-profile college coaches to be around $40,000, as of 2008.
