He received a $16,243 stipend to be a football coach and is salaried at an additional $83,219 per year. His wife is paid as an "equipment manager" for the football team at $6,000 a year. Plus, of course, health insurance, pension, 3 months of vacation, and plenty of perks (his full contract has been requested by the World).
So all in all at least $105,500 plus benni's and perks. His "teachings" duties are listed as "administrator," on the Jenks PS website, so I have no idea if he actually teaches. He has a BA from N.E. State (in what, I do not know).
The average high school teacher in the Tulsa area makes ~$45,000.
Trimble was noble enough to give up the $16,000 but will keep his $83,000 salary for "administering" something or other.

The University of Oklahoma has 16 (including graduates assistants, includes varsity squad and practice squad as well as director of operations etc.). The University of Tulsa has 13 (same stipulations as OU).
I'd love to see the budget for Jenks (and other) football programs. Are those on file with anyone?
A few years back when Union recruited an out-of-state coach, he lost a couple games and they ran him out of town. An article on the matter said his salary was 90K.
Have you guys seen Union's stadium??? Talk about $$$$$$$$$$ for the football programs.
I for one think that it is SO OBVIOUS that this has been going on for a long time, that it is outright wrong to punish one school without punishing the other.
Either let them both recruit, or shut it all down. Jenks has done nothing Union hasn't done.
This coming from someone who hates both programs, and thinks that all these kids are being used at too early of an age.

The game should become an adult game in college, not high school, IMO.
