How Much Are AAF Head Coaches Getting Paid?
There are some big names, like Steve Spurrier, in the Alliance of American Football league (AAF), so one must be curious about the kind of money the league has to pay their coaches. Per Footballscoop.com...
quote:

In conversations with sources around the league, FootballScoop has learned that AAF head coaching salaries break out roughly as follows:

— $500,000 for head coaches
— $200-250,000 for coordinators
— $75-150,000 for position coaches

A review of publicly-available AAF rosters found each staff employs between 11 and 13 total coaches, putting a ballpark figure for coaching staff expenditures at $2 million per staff and $16 million for the entire league. Polian favored established names — Steve Spurrier, Mike Riley, Mike Singletary — to serve as its inaugural roster of head coaches but, moving forward, a half-million dollar salary would be a tempting offer not only for lower-division coaches, but even active Group of 5 coordinators.

Welcome to the minor league of football. Soon high school kids will have the choice of college or semi pro football. Prepare yourself for the change that is coming.

Frick me ... I should have gone into coaching. There are even elite, private high schools in my area where head coaches are pulling in $125,000 - $150,000.

Problem is. You lose your job every 3-4 years

That’s not that bad. Comparable to some college teams
