Neumann tops Mid-County coach pay

Nederland football coach Larry Neumann is the highest paid coach in Mid-County while Port Neches-Groves football coach Matt Burnett isn't even the highest paid coach at his school.

In his 13th year as Nederland's athletic director and head coach, Neumann earns an annual salary of $73,136, according to figures provided The News in response to a Texas Public Information Act request.

Burnett, in his 12th year as PN-G head football coach, earns $68,862.

He is not his school district's athletic director. He is the boys' athletic coordinator for the PN-GISD.

Barbara Comeaux is the district's athletic coordinator for girls and the veteran volleyball coach, in her 34th year at PN-G, collects an annual paycheck of $70,306.

For the record, PN-G's second-year superintendent, Lani Randall, is the highest-paid Mid-County school employee, knocking down $118,150 a year in pay, compared to $109,999 by Nederland superintendent Gail Krohn.

PN-G principal Roy Esquivel makes $84,852, according to figures provided by his school district, while Nederland's Randy Lupton is at $77,836.

Like the superintendents and principals, Neumann receives a straight salary as Nederland's AD. All other Mid-County coaches are paid separately for their work in athletics, on top of their teaching pay.

Comeaux, who was teaching and coaching at PN-G when Burnett was still a student there, receives teaching pay of $54,305 -- compared to $46,834 for Burnett -- and that puts Comeaux over the top.

A third PN-G coach, veteran football assistant George Pachuca, tops $60,000 in total pay, collecting $63,180. A total of 17 of the 40 coaches in the PN-G district earn $50,000 or more.

Five Nederland athletic department employees earn at least $60,000 from the district and 14 of the 48 district coaches top $50,000 in pay.

Assistant head coach Delbert Spell ($66,286) and Southard ($61,881) join Neumann at the top of the coaching pay list at the high school. Central Middle School head coach Gary Babin ($64,937) and C.O. Wilson Middle School basketball coach Jack Lynch ($60,857) are other coaching vets earning in excess of $60,000.

Next on the list at Nederland, in terms of combined teaching and coaching pay, are football assistant Phil Pate ($58,000), football assistant Terry Pool ($56,997), volleyball coach Toni Leach ($55,310), track coach Steven Beagle ($54,964), football assistant David Crommett ($53,884) and girls' soccer coach Julie Johnson ($53,081).

Topping the list of 50-thousand-aires at PN-G are assistant football coach Boyd Edwards ($59,986), softball coach Dale Fontenot ($59,516), assistant football coach Richard Bethea ($57,989) and baseball coach Jay Stone ($57,148).

Fontenot is not a teacher, but earns a salary of $54,915 as the district's director of information services on a 228-day contract with the district. As a coach, he receives a $3,100 coaching increment for being softball coach and another $1,500 for being assistant girls' basketball coach.

PN-G's athletic department is full of veteran teacher-coaches, most of whom are on 187-day contracts. Five of them earn in excess of $50,000 teaching, a group headed by Comeaux and Pachuca ($54,305) and including assistant football coach Boyd Edwards ($51,348) and Port Neches middle school coaches Sandra Rogers ($50,499) and Catherine Mendoza ($50,128).

Six Nederland coaches make more than $50,000 based solely on their teaching seniority: Spell ($54,191), Southard ($51,386) and Pate ($50,916) at the high school, and middle school coaches Babin ($54,191), Lynch ($53,191) and Pamela Lawson ($50,386).

As a rule, the two schools' extra coaching pay, referred to by both districts as increments, isn't large.

Most PN-G coaches make between $3,600 and $4,600 per year from their increments. Nederland's coaches do a little bit better, with most coaches making between $4,000 and $6,000 in coaching increments.

At PN-G, the biggest increments go to Burnett as head football coach ($10,600) and trainer Joe Martin ($5,600). Burnett and Comeaux also each get $2,850 for being athletic coordinators. Football assistant Dan Welch gets $4,100 for being the football team's offensive coordinator.

PN-G's supplementary salary schedule for athletics, from which the increments come, is a bit confusing, but appears designed to keep the coaches' pay as equal as possible.

Like PN-G, Nederland pays high school head coaches in sports other than football $3,100. But the two differ in that Nederland pays the same hard and fast numbers for coaches' second sports as they do their first while PN-G's schedule seems all about keeping it equal.

That explains Spikes Sturdivant and Eldridge Ravey receiving $3,600 as PN-G head coaches for soccer and golf, respectively. They get more than most other PN-G head coaches because they don't coach a second sport

So-called "extra days" pay is an important part of coaching compensation for a majority of coaches at both schools.

Nearly 75 percent (29 of 40) of PN-G's coaches receive extra days pay. Football assistants get 15 extra days, volleyball assistants 10 extra days. Martin and Welch get 20 extra days.

At Nederland, 29 of 48 (60 percent) coaches receive extra days pay. Football coordinators get 20 days, football assistants get 15 days and volleyball coaches get 10 days.

In many cases, that pay is nearly as much as their coaching increment.

In Comeaux's case, it is more.

She receives 30 days extra pay, which PN-G's report shows comes to $8,551. That's compared to a total increment of $7,450.

Burnett receives 35 days extra pay, $8,578 in his case, which comes close to his total increment of $13,450.

Nederland's Spell racks up $5,795 in extra days pay, while PN-G's Welch earns $4,498. Trainers Southard ($5,495) and Martin ($4,567) earn a chunk of change with extra days.

In PN-GISD, extra-days pay is figured based on the coaches' teacher pay from 2004-2005. The school district froze the extra-days pay at that level this school year when it agreed to give all PN-GISD teachers a $1,000 across-the-board raise.

Extra-duty days pay boosted coaches' pay $92,944 in Nederland this year, pushing total coaching pay to $363,680 once you figure in Neumann's salary. Total coaching pay in PN-GISD is $267,897, including $88,797 in extra day pay.

Listed below are the supplements being paid to coaches in the Nederland Independent School District and the Port Neches-Groves Independent School District. Nederland's Larry Neumann is paid $73,133 as head football coach/atheltic director. PN-G's Matt Burnett is paid $68,862 as head football coach/boys athletic coordinator.

Man he and the Coach from Png do not make much money at all. With the records and reputations they have and they only make that? Does that area not pay as well as the Houston Area? I figured that they would due all the industry in the area.

You also have to take into account the situations that you might be in in the Houston area depending on which school. Money isn't everything, I don't think you get into coaching or teaching for the money. These are both good schools and communities. I know there are some good ones in the Houston area too.

How long has the Nedlerland Coach been there? Since he has had so much success do they pay him well? Where is he from?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong' date=' but I think this will be his 11th or 12th season at Nederland. Before coming here, he was an assistant coach at Thomas Jefferson (Pt. Arthur).

I don't know what his compenastion is as HC & AD.[/quote']

His first year was 1993 and they made the playoffs that year. This will be his 14th season as head coach.

Last year but we have the overall record against ozen' date=' and played just about even the last few years against wos.[/quote']

I don't really understand your post. Do you want to compare overall records or how teams have fared against each other in just the last few years? If you want to just look at the last few years (since 2000), Ozen is up on NED 3-2, and WOS and NED are even 3-3. Of course, both WOS and Ozen beat NED the past two years. Looking at overall records, NED has a slight advantage over Ozen, but haven't fared well against WOS.

GoStangs, I'm too smart for your to make me think that when Nederland gets beat by WO-S... that it's some kind of ego hit cuz they're 3A... seen too much football to fall for that. WO-S is a state power... period. Anytime you compete with them, you are doing well.

................Do you want to compare overall records or how teams have fared against each other in just the last few years?.................

How you compare teams is generally based on who you are talking to and their records lately/overall. I have friends at work that went to Lincoln and love to point out that they beat Nederland in their last year of existence. They hate to mention that Nederland was 10-1 against them in the last 11 years and owns the overall record between the schools. They would rather the discussion be based on the very last game. That year Lincoln won only their first round game. Nederland won three and ended up in the semi-finals. Two weeks after Lincoln had gone home for good, Nederland was still playing ball.

Nederland beat WO-S for three straight years, effectively keeping them out of the playoffs for their last three years in 4A. I seem to remember a lot of the banter on the bulletin boards between WO-S and Nederland. The Nederland fans (and I was one) crowed about three straight years of victory. The WO-S fans seemed to care mostly about the overall record that is heavily in favor of WO-S. Now that WO-S has won the last two years, I am sure they don't mind discussing the last two years, much like my friends from Lincoln like to dismiss the 10 straight years of losses to Nederland.

WO-S is rightfully proud of their state championships but wasn't their last one like in '88? I doubt any of this year's seniors was even alive the last time WO-S took it all but I still hear a lot of talk about it.

The bottom line is, people like to discuss what is in favor of their argument whether it be recent past or overall history. I see it on all sides from supporters of all teams. It is called making an argument for your case. Just remember this, a person could always be a supporter of Vidor or Lumberton and not have anything to defend recent or overall history.

Oh yeah, did I mention Nederland won state in 1957..............

What classification were ya'll way back then?

They were 3A back then with 4A being the largest districts. In effect it would be the same as 4A today. In 1980 the UIL added another "A" to each size district to get rid of "B" ball. B moved up to A, so 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A each went up a notch in the numbering system.
