Just to be clear, what would your responsibilities entail? Is this a job that you would be only coaching football? No teaching or other duties during the day?

If you're getting paid $2000 a month to do nothing but coach football, you'd be nuts not to take it. Your average schedule would look like this?

Monday-Wednesday - 2:30pm-7pm (Practice + Meetings)
Thursday - 2:30-5:00pm (Walk Through + Meetings)
Friday - 2:30pm - 12am (Pregame + game + film)
Saturday - OFF / film break down on own time
Sunday - 8am-12pm (Coaches meetings)

You'd be working 25-30 hours per week total, and bringing home $2000 for coaching football. That's a pretty sweet gig.

About the school: Small 1A school in rural south Alabama. I played for the current head coach.

I am a classroom facilitator, basically a glorified baby sitter. It is a remote access class where students will receive teaching from another teacher from another school. I monitor that class and assist with instruction and testing. So I'm technically not teaching anything, I'm just there basically. I can only spend 5 hours a day in the classroom per the rules, so 25 hours a week. I will receive hourly pay like $20 an hour and coaching stipends for football and jr high basketball.

If it were only coaching football and no other duties I wouldn't have had to ask the board for advice lol.

I worked as a student coach at Troy I'm too familiar with breaking down film/cut ups, stats, player note books, setting up meetings and a plethora of any random shite they had us do.

With all those meetings it's no surprise that you quit.
