I shouldn’t have to explain this. If you offer job candidates a significantly higher salary, you’ll get better qualified candidates for the job. A head coach in Florida gets about $5000 for coaching at a public school. Coordinators get almost nothing and pretty much every other assistant is doing it for free. If you want to get paid to coach, Florida is not the place for you unless you go to a private school.

Me too. I know where I stand, but the facts require serious nuance in discussion. It's not as simple as "who has the best coaches." Much like players, Florida actually churns out assistant/head coaches, who leave for Georgia because they can get paid more. Randy McPherson, who coached forever at Lowndes, actually is from Lake Worth originally, and made his name at Madison County. But how can you turn down the offer from north of the border?

There are also significant variations in intrastate player participation/quality regionally (particularly in Texas), that make state-to-state comparisons kind of silly. I'd more interested in comparisons of South Florida vs. Houston or Jacksonville vs. San Antonio or I-4 vs. Dallas.

Texas HS football and Florida HS football are both spectacular in their own unique ways. The athleticism in Florida is superior and it's much more dense. The coaching and atmosphere are superior by far in Texas. I'd rather recruit from Florida, but I'd rather watch a HS game in Texas - pretty much no contest in both cases. Both are awesome. I wouldn't trade and I'm sure Florida guys wouldn't trade either.

Again...high schools arent coming down to SFL to hire assistant HS coaches...offering all this money to come coach at a HIGH SCHOOL. You think Burger King is going and stealing Mcdonalds employees to run the cashier. Not sure in FL....but in Texas you actually teach classes..you dont just coach. Now are those classes something hard or takes a lot of time to teach....no
 
I’d say Texas HS coaching is better, and in some ways, it has hurt the college programs there. Kids look awesome in high school, but a lot of them are maxed out by the time they get to college.

The better training and programs hides the fact that many of them just don’t have high caliber D1 potential.

Yeah. The state versus state thing needs to die. If you want to do houston and the surround areas versus south Florida there’s something there to talk about

Again, if you don’t want to pay any money, it’s hard to attract competent workers. The head coach has to be a full time employee of the school (teachers and staff in Florida make much less than their Texas counterparts too) so he gets an extra $5,000 bonus for being the head football coach. On top of his already meager public school salary. I own a repair business. If I choose to only pay my technicians the bare minimum, nobody that’s any good will want to work for me. You see how it works? If I’m a great football coach, I’m not going to Florida to coach football there because they don’t pay any money for the job.

That wasn't the point. It's that TX schools have more resources to funnel into the program/coaching staff. No different than CFB. If you were a CFB coach, tell me which you'd prefer: an $8MM budget to hire your coaching staff or $2MM? Which one is going to put together a better, more qualified staff?

I believe it is less.. 1500$ stipend maybe.... They have to be a teacher in the county.... So they get paid teacher salary too.
