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.

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?

Just do it.
If you don't like it after a year, then stop.

I'm guessing you'd either be doing or have the opportunity to drive a bus and be responsible for cutting the grass on the football field/practice field etc? At least that's how it used to be at small schools, but if you aren't a full blown staff member then I guess your situation could be different.
But, back to your original question, I've got a family and kids to raise so no, I wouldn't/couldn't quit my day job for this job. But, from how you've described your situation, if I were in the same boat I'd take it. Like others have said, get your teaching certification and then continue your education with a graduate degree.
