RunInRed 18,089 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Welcome to the AUFAMILY Al Pogue and War Eagle! Pogue's 'All In': Carver football coach joins AU staffBY A. STACY LONG • FEBRUARY 11, 2011 Al Pogue, after three seasons leading the G.W. Carver High football team to state prominence, is leaving the Wolverines for Auburn University. Pogue has accepted a job as an offensive graduate assistant for the Tigers. The 36-year-old resigned at Carver on Thursday and starts at AU on Monday. "It's not every day that you get an opportunity to go work with the national champions and a great coach like Gene Chizik and a great staff like he has," Pogue said. "It's tough leaving a great group of kids, but I talked to them and they understand." Pogue was 31-7 in three seasons at Carver and 46-24 in six years as a head coach. He led the Wolverines to a 13-1 season and a Class 5A semifinal appearance in 2008. Pogue's final two teams finished 10-2 and 8-4. Read more...

TitanTiger 21,040 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 What do you figure a high school head coach in Montgomery makes if he also teaches a subject...maybe $60,000? I don't imagine a GA makes anything close to that, but it's a move for a future with much more potential down the road in the college ranks.

RunInRed 18,089 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 I could be way off but I can't imagine a GA makes much more than 30k. Of course, the average assistant coach in the SEC is well into 6 figures so yes, upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermike 3,651 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've also heard there are several D1 prospects coming out of Carver High School, this might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
