Pretty cool story here from the Arkansas State Red Wolves. Last week, the NFL announced their first full-time female ref. Now, Arkansas State will have a female coach!
The winning bid was $8,700. Here’s what the Red Wolves had to say in their press release…
As the head coach, she will draft her team members, give the pregame and halftime talk to her team and determine if they ‘go for it’ or punt on fourth downs. Gallaher will receive photos and video of her coaching experience, wear official A-State coaching gear and, if she leads her team to a victory, receive a Powerade bath as part of her bragging rights.
The owner of United Country-Scenic Rivers Realty in Imboden, Ark., which is a sponsor of the ‘Live with Blake Anderson’ radio show, will also receive a mock one-day contract from [athletic director Terry] Mohajir at the press conference and be issued an A-State jersey with her name embroidered on the back. Gallaher and her husband, Allen, moved to Jonesboro in 2006, and the self-proclaimed sports fanatic is a Red Wolves Foundation member and A-State football season tickets holder.
I may be first but probably not the last! #GirlPower https://t.co/Q4JJLqJmCA
