I agree, just let the record continue to show it was a joke until a certain few couldn't take it that way... lol

Completely avoids the point but yeah sure... Public schools can provide these salaries AND a FT position. If a private does the same, HC+FT position it'll still be far less... how much do you think private school football coaches are getting paid? You seem to live in the magical old world belief that all private schools are full of wealth and cash trees to supply their athletic wants and desires just growing in their courtyards.
Willing to bet Lynch is getting more than $15k. Public school coaches are educators first, for the most part. Morris coach is the Assistant Principal. Yet again, private schools can go find a coach whereas for the vadt majority of public schools they need to find someone already in the building.

FWIW, Coach Jaworski at JCA is a full time teacher along with being the head football coach.

I will preface this by saying not all; but over the years private schools have figured out they are more nimble when it comes to coaching hires and have used that to their advantage. Nothing wrong with it at all, all within the rules but having less "red tape" is an advantage. Just like pensions are an advantage for public school HC.

The issue is far from resolved. ESL is a total outlier and is basically operating like a private institution.

I love LWE, but their beating BR settles nothing; the talent levels private schools are bringing in from all over give privates a massive advantage. and no, all these kids are not paying tuition out of their families' pockets.

The issue will continue to worsen as talent disparities grow. I'm not against private schools; I went to BR, but saying there are no significant advantages over public schools is nuts. And I'm not even talking about $ and resources available to privates vs most publics.

Over time, this will just erode the playoffs, where we'll see privates winning every year.

I'd be for a public playoff and private playoff, then have the winners play each other.

I forgot all private school head coaches are personal trainers out here just trying to make it rich, profiting off the wealthy families willing to submit their child to the program. Then they go home to their 3.1 million dollar mansions, eat caviar straight from the tin as a snack, smack a glass of Leroy Musigny Grand Cru and off to bed by 7pm because the early bird still get them worms. Come on dude... you're just disagreeing to disagree at this point. It's odd...

Where did I say anything about private school coaches being rich? I only spoke to how little public school coaches get and that they are found from the staff already in house and not just hired to soley coach football. You just take anything I say to the extreme rather than focusing on what I actually said.

Private school coaches can get “alumni” bonuses that also can’t be tracked except by what’s claimed on taxes. No one is going to ask or say anything. Kinda like the “alumni donor for tuition”
Public schools by far pay more for summers and regular stipends. Some are restricted by the school’s union contract who are required to hire teachers first as coaches.
