Yeah does depend on what the role is.
If you were doing the bare minimum, for a club with only senior teams 1 3 hour session on 6 sundays for preseason, then 6-8 Tuesday, 6-9 (inc selection) on Thursdays, 12-7 on Saturdays for 24 weeks = 306 hours over the season. $8,000 = $26/hr, possibly tax free depending on what you negotiated.
Other coaches will get more involved, do a longer preseason, that includes a mid-week indoor session as well as sunday, hang around a bit more after trainings and games, might get involved in finding players week to week, and dealing with general club politics, etc, might push them up closer to 450 or 500 hours a season, in which case the hourly rate drops towards $15.
Clubs with juniors means more sessions per week, and time on sundays as well, but those sort of clubs will often pay more than $8,000 too.
That said, there are also some clubs out there that would be having coaches do 400 hours, and only getting 4-5k. They are the ones certainly doing it for the love of the game.
