19 year old College student applies to be
head football coach
In what originally started as a joke, 19-year-old sophomore
student at Rutgers university, Ben Kautz emailed his resume to
people within the Rutgers athletic department to be the head
football coach. He was shocked when Geoff Brown, the school's
senior associate athletic director and chief marketing officer
responded.
Brown wrote:
Thanks, Benjamin
I will definitely pass this along. You have my vote (not that I have a
vote, but if I did …)
Good luck.

"I could not believe I got a response back," Kautz said.
"Once I told some friends that I got a response, they told
me that I needed to put it on Twitter. And then
everything just kind of blew up."
The hashtag #Kautz4coach has been drawing attention to
Kautz's cause. What started as a joke has now become a
somewhat serious campaign.
"Look at the positives," Kautz said of his coaching
qualifications. "I'm 19 years old — you're getting tons of
publicity right there. The youngest head coach
ever. Good Morning America has already told me that
they want me on the show if I get this job."
Kautz knows he will not get the job. But he likes the fact that
people are willing to give him a chance.
"I would absolutely love an interview," Kautz says. "I just
think that would be the coolest thing."
