Deadspin
So you know how Jerry Glanville is now the defensive coordinator at Hawaii? That's a job that has always made sense; if you've made your money in football, and still want to be a part of it but don't want to live the insane, 20-hour-day of the modern coach, kicking back and coaching defense in Hawaii seems like a good way to go. Well, it looks like Glanville wants to be a head coach again, and he's interviewing this week with ... uh ... Division I-AA Portland State University. Really. He appears to be really into the whole thing too.
You've got to find out what the total commitment is. Jerry Glanville can not come here and win one football game. If Jerry Glanville comes here it's the power of we over me and if you get everybody grabbing a hold of that rope and pulling in the same direction and you have a support group that's going to turn this into something special that it should be then you're very interested. Now in turn, they may talk to me and not like me. Nobody's offered me this job. They may say that guy's crazy, which is borderline half right.
Why can't we get 20,000 people five days every year to guarantee me that were gonna be on your worst behavior. I can walk into a high school and tell a kid if you come to this game, no adult will tell you to sit down and shut up we'll tell you to bring the roof down. Let's have some fun. We can turn this into Green Bay, Wisconsin for I-AA football.
The Green Bay for I-AA football. Now there's a goal! Actually, we think Portland State is to college football what Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl is to legitimate football video games. Take the job, Jerry! What could possibly go wrong?

(UPDATE: YES! He's taking the job!)
(SECOND UPDATE: Ha. The Run And Shoot was invented at Portland State. Makes sense!)

Quick, someone tell Glanville that UW-Green Bay doesn't have a football team before it's too late!
But will he still leave tickets for Elvis for the Hawaii games?
more annoying
jerry glanville or terry bradshaw?
Also,
Winners don't use run-on sentences.
Since when did Joe Pesci start wearing cowboy hats?
Well, Ritchie McKay started out coaching at Portland State. So that pretty much sums it up.
Sidenote: How the hell did I get to be 28 before I made my first trip to Vegas?!?!?
Is he going to be leaving tickets for Elliott Smith?
D-Coordinator @ Hawaii > Head Coach at Portland State
Seeing Jerry Glanville's name on a plaque was the only reason to spend a semester at Northern Michigan University
But will he leave an extra ticket for elvis at the box office in Portland?
@Jerkwheat: what about the superior dome?
it's in the Superior Dome if I remember correctly.
oh, and F**k the Superior Dome's turf. That carpet was Shaun Livingston waiting to happen.
@Phony Gwynn:
I made my first trip last year at age 28. Believe me, before then you really can't afford it.
Jerry Glanville is the most annoying former football coach in the history of television. he should be shot.
They may say that guy's crazy, which is borderline half right.
If you calling it borderline half right, you're off the rails when it comes to crazy. Can he replace Dan Hawkins at CU?
Please, God...let Eastern Washington hire Sam Wyche.
I'm with you on Glanville being annoying and all. But how much worse would it have been with Bradshaw coaching a team in the 90s? ARRRRGGGHH
That footbrawl game was awesome. It may have been a blatant rip on Mutant League football, but being able to literally maim your opponent was pretty fun as a 9 year old.
adamrobert12 is saying if you have to comment here, adamrobert12 can't comment alone. It may be a borderline comment, but I can tell you that no one is going to tell you to sit down and shutup.
@I_Am_Eaten_By_Wolves: Anyone that wants Sam Wyche can have him. Dave Shula too.
Does this take him out of the running for the Washington Sentinels job?
@Bainard: God, someone's got to hire him. He's digging through my trash right now.
Troll! Troll! Troll!
Pigskin Footbrawl...Anybody?
Mutant League Football >> Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl
Portland State can never be like Green Bay since the starting QB can't stick around for 10 years after he's stopped being useful.
I played Mutant League Football...Oh what a game!!!
Sweet. PSU plays its games a couple of blocks from my office. I'm ready to be on my worst behavior! Which these days means being slow to take out the trash and only reading my kids one book before bed. Damn adulthood.
Carlos Zambrano approves of the third person to refer to one's self.
Hey, ain't nothin' wrong with Portland State. I love their goofy-ass logo.
At least this might get people to finally show up to their games.
Jerry Glanville just needs a little rope.
+10, the_h_is_o
This will go over about as well as Sam Rutigliano coaching at Liberty or Joe Walton coaching at Robert Morris.

Now THAT is a career
Awesome. Now Weber State can get serious about its plan to lure back former offensive coordinator Jim Fassel.
@DannyG: You better believe it! My brother and I fired this back up over the holidays and I was getting whipped so badly I got an unprecedented SECOND troll and pulled off a wild 145-144 comeback.
Henceforth it will be known as "The Double Troll Game."
Any day something reminds me of Neil Lomax is a good day.
