When Bret Bielama quit his job as the head coach for the Badger football team, many different people wanted his job, including ordinary folk just like us! The university advertised the job on its human resources website and many dreamers put their applications in.

Among the applications you can find résumés for Utah State coach Gary Andersen, who wound up getting the job. Other applicants were marginally less qualified. Those include a local Walgreen's pharmacist, a recent college graduate who was the captain of his football team, a veteran FedEx driver, an executive recruiter who played one season of Division III baseball, and a lawyer who listed among his "relevant experience" the fact that he has "excelled in various fantasy baseball and football leagues."
