Brandon Cantrill’s title at Marietta College was Assistant Baseball Coach/Don Schaly Stadium Supervisor. Responsibilities included maintaining Don Schaly Stadium (baseball field) and surrounding areas. He’s responsible for coaching catchers and helping with hitters, while recruiting prospective student athletes.
Brandon liked the fact that he got to work at his own pace and made all of the decisions when it came to the maintenance of the baseball facility. It gave me a sense of pride when the field was game ready in the spring. I also really enjoyed recruiting student-athletes to Marietta. The field work/maintenance took away from the time and effort that I was able to put into coaching our players. I would work 8-10 hours on the field and then attend a 2-3 hour practice. I was physically and mentally drained, so it was difficult to put that aside and give my guys everything I had each day. Coach Cantrill put in 40 hours a week, minimum. Most weeks were in the upwards of 60 hours. Attire consisted of work clothes (jeans, sweatshirt, t-shirt) most days and athletic gear for practices.
Brandon has a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts (Sociology) from Oberlin College. I also has his MBA from Tiffin University. He had four years of coaching experience going into his position at Marietta. Two years as the head assistant at Oberlin College and two years as the graduate assistant at Tiffin University. The salary range for an assistant coach (full-time) is between $18,000 - $40,000. The range can be higher based on the level of the assistant coach (D1). The median for this position is between $25,000 - $28,000.
Turnover in college baseball coaching can be very high. Cantrill’s position at Marietta was funded by the physical plant that was considered a Ground Crew Member and a Volunteer Baseball Coach. The turnover for that position is high considering the fact that you are doing more work on the field and facilities than you are coaching baseball. However, D1 assistant coaching positions have less turnover as their situations tend to be more appealing. Winning and losing can create turnover as well, but more so at the D1 level.
There is a great opportunity for advancement in college coaching. Advancement all depends on the individual though. You can advance your position by becoming a head coach, or taking another assistant coaching job at a different school. It all depends on what each individual's situation is and how they define advancement. I feel that I have taken all the steps to continue to advance through my career; I even consider my move from lead assistant at Oberlin (full-time) to graduate assistant at Tiffin (student) an advancement as I increased NCAA level and my network of coaching colleagues
