Child's play: 12-year-old applied for West Virginia job

[BAMAPHIN 22]

This kid wants to coach, and he thinks big.

Joshua Irizarry is all of 12 years old. That hardly stopped him from applying for the job of football coach at West Virginia University.

Insisting it was a "completely serious offer," the Connecticut boy outlined his skills in a letter to West Virginia president Mike Garrison when the job opened in December. They included "making up new plays to fool defenses in local sandlot games."

The kid also has an eye for marketing.

"Consider the publicity your campus would receive," he wrote in the letter. "I understand this would be a move more suited for a team like Temple, but I am just asking for your consideration.

"Don't think of this as hiring a 12-year-old kid from a nowhere town, but think of this as hiring a dedicated football mind trying to help a team," he said. "I would work for any conditions you would wish to provide."

I read about that in the paper today. That was very cool. Ed Pastilong sent him a team picture and an autographed picture by his favorite player Noel Devine.

The most surprising/impressive thing about that article is that Noel Divine knows how to write!

Their looking really good man, we lost alot of key players such as Slaton, Schmitt, Reynaud on offense and on defense we lost dingle,dykes and a few others...

the game that worries me the most is without a doubt Auburn, they're looking pretty tough..
