Arkansas State auctioning off spring game head-coaching spot
Arkansas State’s coaching position for its spring game is once again up for auction.
After raising $11,700 last spring by auctioning off coach Blake Anderson’s spot on the sidelines, the Red Wolves Foundation is trying its luck once again with a new eBay auction that will allow the winner to not only coach one half of the Red Wolves, but bring a friend to coach the other side of the team.
Yep, two folks with likely little football acumen and extremely deep pockets will be running Arkansas State’s entire spring game. They’ll draft teams, hold press conferences, and draw up the gameplans for their respective squads. Then the triumphant coach will get a Powerade bath after which he will probably dry himself off with $100 bills.
Winning bidder will get the full head coaching experience! You get to draft and coach your own college football team! Winning bidder can also match wits and pick a friend to coach against in the 2015 Arkansas State Football Spring Game on April 17th.
Overnight accommodations included, the head coach will draft their team on Thursday night and scheme with the rest of the coaching staff. All day Friday the coach will go through practice and drills. As game time arrives, give the pregame and halftime talk, determine if their team ‘goes for it’ or punts on fourth down, communicate with the coaching staff on headset throughout the entire game and more! The coach will receive photos of their experience and coaching gear. The winning coach will also receive a Powerade bath as part of their bragging rights!
Bidding opened at $1,000 on Monday and there are already nine bids for the spot. Last year, 25-year-old Nick Bhardwaj, a millionaire tech whiz from Northern California, won the inaugural spring coaching opportunity. Cash out your 401k and you could be next.
