While plenty of college coaches are reportedly interested in the Alabama offensive coordinator job, one unlikely name has applied: Reddit user tjelliott12.

Elliott has a stacked resume that includes having "10x" the wins of his predecessor, Steve Sarkisian, who left for the Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator job.
Among his other attributes is having a "lower percentage of boogers ate (sic) on national television."
Here's his entire pitch, via Reddit:
"Dear person who reads Nick Saban's emails,
Once again I am reaching out in interest for the open job of OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/PERSON WHO REFUSES TO RUN THE DAMN BALL IN A WAY THAT PLEASES ALL PEOPLE. As I am sure you remember, I also reached out in interest when Coach Kiffin resigned to be a club manager in Boca. I must say that I find myself slightly frustrated that I wasn't given ample opportunity to enhance my resume between openings. For the love of God people, it was 3 weeks.
Similar to anyone looking for a job opportunity, I often have to er...enhance my resume. For example, a 119 rushing yard performance may be rounded up to 350. My ruler skips directly from 3 inches to 7, if you catch my drift. However, I can unabashedly state that I will not have to exaggerate on this resume. I have a better career win percentage at my middle school than Coach Sarkisian had at the University of Alabama. As a matter of fact, I have more than 10x the wins than Coach Sark was able to tally as Offensive Coordinator. Not only have I managed to tally more Ws, but I also have a lower percentage of boogers ate on national television. I also have been drunk on an airplane less than my predecessor, although it is worth noting that the only time I have flown was when my father placed me in an overhead compartment to "minimize the family's expenditure."
I feel as if the University of Alabama offers a unique opportunity. I already have a gameplan in place that will improve on what Coach Sark started. For example, I noticed that the roster on RollTide.com shows more than 1 runningback. I'm sure Coach Sark's short turnaround caused him to miss this fact, but I am already prepared. I also want to bring an innovative approach to the offense by only using bubble screens. My passing philosophy is "If it's past the line, that sh*t ain't fine." I also plan to recruit sumo wrestlers as slot receivers to effectively run pick plays. Apparently that's how things are done now.
I can only hope to follow in the steps of a man who's offensive play calls in the second half cost him a championship. Coach Sark was able to use this approach to replace Kyle Shanahan, a coach who's offensive play calls in the second half cost him a championship. I've gone Negan on two televisions this year. Unfortunately, Lucile is the name of my dog.
I look forward to hearing from you, tjelliott12"
It didn't quite work out for the LSU gig, but maybe this guy can snag a job under Nick Saban.
An earlier version of this story noted Elliott as an LSU fan. He as since cleared up that he is a lot of things, but an LSU fan isn't one of them:
