If you have administrative skills and ever wanted to work for one of the most famous coaches in America, here’s your chance.

The University of Michigan posted a job opening for an executive assistant to the head football coach, which is Jim Harbaugh.

“The Executive Assistant to the Head Football Coach assists the football coach in all areas, including day-to-day operations, scheduling, internal and external communications, office management and administration,” the job posting reads.

You must have a minimum of five years of related experience in NCAA or NFL football administration.

The candidate will replace J.T. Rogan, who announced in May that he was leaving the post as Harbaugh’s executive assistant.

After nearly 2 years, I've decided to move on from my role at UM. It’s time for me to pursue my passions.

“After nearly 2 years, I’ve decided to move on from my role at UM. It’s time for me to pursue my passions,” Rogan wrote on Twitter.

“I’m very thankful for relationships built here; they’ll be with me forever. Rest assured, I’ll be attacking future endeavors with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Go Blue!” he added.

Harbaugh was just as grateful to work with Rogan, calling him a “bright, multi talented young man with a great future ahead!”
