Man Applies For College Coaching Job Based On Extensive Madden Experience
In what is surely a well-crafted jest, West Virginia football fan Christopher McComas has applied to coach the University of North Dakota football team. His cover letter and PowerPoint resume reference his longtime fandom and keen skills at video game pigskin.
The Grand Forks Herald printed McComas’ letter, and Deadspin has shared a link to the PowerPoint. “All the while I played various football games including Madden on Sega Genesis where I completely dominated with the Bills and Thurman Thomas,” McComas writes. “Seriously, was he a beast on the game or was he a beast because I was a football genius controlling him?“
You should read the entire letter on the Grand Forks Herald website and check out the hilarious PowerPoint presentation. Be sure to check out the testimonials slide.
