Apply Online to Be the Next Head Coach of DePaul. Seriously.

by Ricky O'Donnell on March 16 at 12:07AM

depaul-head-coach-search.jpg

DePaul has no coach, no on-campus gym, and just two Big East wins in the last two seasons. Yeah, times are tough for Blue Demons basketball right now.

DePaul axed Jerry Wainwright on January 11 and still doesn't have a head coach. As such, drastic times call for drastic measures: DePaul has posted the men's basketball coach job on its website.

For real.

If you want to coach a Big East basketball team next season, all you have to do is apply online. Just don't forget to include a resume and cover letter!

And no, this isn't a joke. To get to the page linked above, just do this:

1) Go to DePaul.edu
2) Click on 'Employment'
3) Click on 'Staff Positions'
4) Click on 'Applicants: Career Opportunities'
5) Type in 'coach' in the keyword box and hit search.

Men's basketball coach is the fourth job down. It was posted on March 3. Easy as that.
