Athletic Department looking for Sr. Football Analyst
I occasionally peruse the U-M job website and found what would be a dream job for many people (at least on this blog): Senior Football Analyst
http://umjobs.org/job_detail/78527/senior_football_analyst
No salary is listed. The required experience will probably eliminate most people here, but hopefully someone reading this blog might be THE ONE.

Odds are they already know who they want and this posting is done solely to comply with state regulations. As an employee of the University I can attest to the fact we often pick who we want to hire and then write a job posting that only they meet the requirements for. That way when we do interviews were disqualify everyone else as not qualified.
Basically you have a student who just graduated and you want to bring them in full time, so you stack the deck in their favor.

I guess you must have longer arms than your brother T.

I've applied for some jobs on the site where I was clearly qualified but never even got a call for an interview. It's not what you know, but.......

Several years back a friend applied to a job that had a strange list of requirements, ones that almost no one would have all of, but he did. It was as if the job posting was written for him and him alone. He applied, and of course did not get the job. He didn't even make the short list, which would have had the possibility of displacing the person chosen for the job. He got a form letter explaining that there were a lot of applicants and many of them fit the requirements better than he did. We had a few laughs over that.

I'm eliminated. Damn felony.
Actually, this looks like a position where the coaches probably already have someone in mind, but it has to be publicly posted before they choose their hand-picked candidate.
Also, I think the "glamor" of being around athletes in this job would wear off very fast.
Like the guy who complained about having to work with elephants in the circus, cleaning up their poop all day. Finally, sick of his complaining, someone asked him why he didn't just quit. "What, and leave show business?!"

I'm not qualified, which is probably good because I would just end up with confiscated beer and college girls which would lead to trouble.
