Stan Drayton enters his third season as head coach at Temple in 2024, looking to put two disappointing seasons behind him and insert some energy back into the program.
The Owls’ head coach is potentially coaching for his job in 2024, with fans getting disenchanted with the direction of the program, but what is Drayton’s salary, contract, and net worth ahead of a pivotal campaign?
Stan Drayton’s Salary and Contract in 2024
Drayton’s salary and contract for 2024 are not reported, and Temple University has released no details.
As a state-related school in Pennsylvania, Temple receives some state funding but is not regarded like other public schools nationwide. Therefore, they are not required to release contract information about their employees.
Temple hired Drayton from Texas, where he was the running backs coach. He has had an established coaching career. However, Drayton is in his first forage into head coaching with the Owls.
The university was elated about hiring Drayton when it was announced in 2021, with Vice President and Director of Athletics Arthur Johnson stating, “I am excited to bring Stan Drayton back to Philadelphia as the next head football coach of Temple University.”
“I had a chance to get to know Stan while we worked together at the University of Texas. He is an outstanding football coach and an even better person,” Johnson continued.
“He knows what success looks like at the highest levels of football. He also knows what it takes to be successful in this city, having spent six years of his career here and learned from two of the city’s legendary football coaches.”
Drayton shared his mutual excitement, saying, “This truly is a dream come true for me. Philadelphia has always held a special place in my heart as my wife, Monique, and I got married while we lived here.”
However, with consecutive 3-9 records, some consider Drayton on the hot seat entering 2024.
Drayton’s Net Worth
Drayton’s net worth is not disclosed. However, as of 2024, he has career earnings exceeding $4.2 million.
That data is taken from USA Today’s Salary Tracker, which has information on some of Drayton’s salaries between 2010 and 2021.
However, the figure doesn’t include Drayton’s salaries at Temple or as an RB coach with the Chicago Bears, with those salaries remaining undisclosed.
