I think we still have room for 1 more. I'll have to double check. I know someone on here I've never met before is rooming with us already, but I think we can figure something out. Hit me up.

One funny story from about 10 years ago when a guy saw Bob Stoops peeing in a urinal in the bathroom of the hotel lobby and tried to shake his hand and give him a resume. Coach Stoops took the resume, dropped it in the urinal, and Lou Browned it. The young coach who looked like he wasn't old enough to shave stood their dumbfounded. Another coach told him very politely the timing probably wasn't the best.
If that's what not to do, I'd love to hear some ideas about what to do
Do people actually get jobs 'slinging resumes' at the coaching convention? if so, what's the best way to go about doing that if you are looking to get a job

Well, at least Stoops didn't say, "Oh, great! Here, just hold my *thing* for me while I read your resume"

I was wondering something similar to an earlier post, does this resume slinging work?

Great conference! Wonderful to connect with old friends and meet some new coaches as well.
I brought my wife this year and it proved to be a great experience for both of us. Already looking forward to Nashville!

A lot of guys get jobs at the convention, but I don't know if slinging resumes is the best way. They have a job room, and that is the place to start.

At the AFCA they have an area designated for coaches to put up resumes and schools to list jobs. It is more of a job board (several big boards). At the Texas High School Coaches Convention it is in an actual room where schools post jobs, coaches post resumes, and interviews are often conducted. I had a buddy find a job at the AFCA Convention a few years ago because of the job board. He saw a job posted, contacted the coach, interviewed at the convention, and got hired.

I've made more contacts in my 2 years at AFCA than I had in the 10 years before at Glazier and/or Nike clinics... Met up with some guys from back east and showed them some film on a few of our kids and they are all over them now. Already got forms sent for my kids to fill out and get ready to be recruited by them.
Also made tons of high school contacts... I have blackmail evidence on @dcohio so anytime I need a job in OH, I can call him up and I'm good to go! Coyote Ugly evidence... haha
