The workload of a football coach is probably much higher than that of a mathematics teacher. They are up and ready for morning practice early and stay late after school for more practice. They review videotapes of games, create strategy , and travel with students. I doubt there are many mathematics teachers that have the same dedication for the success of their cohort as football occurs , on average.

Football coaches also don’t have to deal with players that don’t want to be in the team. It’s much more rewarding. You can’t compare The two.

  They can also cut players. The closest a math teacher can do is give the minimum necessary grade for the student to move on to the next class at the end of the year.

    "They can also cut players." Exactly. That's also why the phrase" let's run government like a business" doesn't work. You can't just lay off 10% of your country's population if they don't perform.

    Failing a student should be possible.

  Absolutely. The two roles are both challenging, but math teachers don't typically have kids competing to be in their class. It's a lot easier to motivate someone when they have someone on the bench who wants their spot. Up early to make sure the classroom is ready. Stay late to help struggling students. Lesson planning. Multiple groups of students per day, each of which might be on a slightly different topic. Far fewer pep rallies. source: Live with a math teacher.

In K-12 schools, most coaches are also teachers. I was a math teacher and basketball coach, for instance. When season was in, some of my days were 14+ hours long.

Does the team's performance affect the football coach's job evaluation/progression? And is this the case in every school in the country? I've gathered (from popular media) that high school football is taken very seriously in some parts of the country, but I mean outside of those areas. Note: I'm aware college football coaches are fired if on-field results are below-par.
