Six Point Five Million Dollars and Three Head Coaches
The college and professional football coaching ranks might be something like Jacob's Ladder from the Bible or the Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin. There are 130 Division I schools from the biggest conferences and 32 Teams in the NFL.
Being the head coach of any of these teams is a big deal. The average salary of a head coach is a reported $1.64 million dollars. The average salary of an NFL head coach is about $3.5 million dollars.
The competition for these jobs is intense and the price for experienced and successful coaching talent is an expensive proposition for a university or NFL Franchise. The apprentice coaches might start as former player as graduate assistants at their Alma Mater after their playing days are over or a smaller college with a history of coaches moving up the ranks to bigger schools that recruit blue chip players.
In the end recruiting better coaches gets better players and the best coaches are able to get the best players.
Temple University has had some success hiring coaches of late after more than a few years at the bottom of the Big East Conference. The Owls who are 41-24 since 2014 under their last four coaches who moved on to better programs.
Temple University lost two coaches.
Georgia Tech bought out the contract of Temple Coach, Geoff Collins for $2,500,000.
Temple University hired Manny Diaz away from the University of Miami to be their new head coach.
Mark Richt retires from the University of Miami on December 30, 2018 presumably because of pressure to fire his "offensive" coaches, including his son.
University of Miami buys out Temple's new contract with Manny Diaz for $4,000,000. He fires the entire "offensive" and will look for replacements.
Temple is looking for another coach, they got some cash to work with but it may be up the down staircase for UM and Temple next year.
No wonder kids that will be drafted this Spring decided to skip bowl games.
