Coaching Career of James Frizzell (NCAA Football 2004)

Introduction
This will run jointly with my WVU one, so no panicking about that one ending. I just want two football games to play and I picked up NCAA 2004 for the first time in years and I really enjoyed it. I like 06 as well, thus I will stick with both.

Anyways, this will follow the career of James Frizzell as I will be hired at a school were I know a lot about the surrounding vicinity. I will not reveal that school just yet. I will try to use my knowledge of that area to maybe make some diaries or something about my personal life or something. We'll see.

Marshall is currently a 3 star program.

Diary Entry #1 (July 6, 2003)

It was my birthday today and boy what a present I got! I got up this morning to go to work as usual at the Aamco Transmissions shop I own in South Charleston, West Virginia. It is open from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Even though, it was my birthday, I still had to work my butt off as usual. It was uneventful, however, as we are having a really slow week with Independence Day this week and all. This is historically a slow week for us, anyways. Usually, the summer in it's entirely is slow as far as business goes compared to winter since there is more snow in the winter among other things.

I got off work today. I left work to go to Husson's Pizza, one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I got off at exit 39, the Teays Valley exit, of Interstate 64 on my way home to get there. I live in Hurricane, West Virginia, at exit 34, so Husson's is only about 5 or so miles from my house. I ordered a turkey and cheese sub as usual with extra Italian dressing and no mayonnaise (I hate that stuff!) and waited about 10 minutes for my food to arrive. I was eating my delicious food when suddenly I got a call on my cell phone.

I answered it and was shocked. I had coached midget league football in Hurricane for the past 4 years and had some really good years there, but the call I got was totally out of the blue. It was an invitation for me to join the Marshall University football team as not a graduate assistant, an assistant coach, but the head coaching position at a division 1 college which has 2 national championships under it's belt, albeit both of them are in division 1-AA. They wanted to meet on July 8th to discuss a contract and I said okay, I'll be there! Of course, there will be no negotiating on my part. Any salary is fine. I don't want to lose out on this opportunity.

I drove the rest of the way home down Teays Valley Road in my 1994 Chevrolet Silverado as joyous as I've ever been. I drove by Hurricane High School along the way. It had always been a dream of mine even just to coach there, but now I'll be coaching division 1 football assuming we can work out a deal! I went across Hurricane Creek and past the Video Madness rental store right near where I live and then turned down Harbor Lane. After passing by a few mobile homes, I arrived at Pendleton Woods, the neighborhood I lived in. I pulled up my steep driveway and parked on the right side as I usually do.

The rest of the night I laid back and dreamed about what it could be like to coach Marshall. I knew longtime coach Bob Pruett had stepped down earlier this month for personal reasons, so I guess they were looking for a coach. I'll have a lot to live up to considering Pruett coached the likes of Byron Leftwich, Chadd Pennington, and Randy Moss, but I am up for the challenge!

Unknown In As Marshall Head Coach

Huntington, WV (July 8, 2003) - When was the last time a midget league football coach became the new head coach at a division 1 college. Yeah, that's what we were thinking, none! But today we have seen it happen as the Marshall University Thundering Herd hired Hurricane Midget League Football coach James Frizzell.

In his press conference, Coach Frizzell noted several things. He said, "I am grateful for this opportunity. This is a once in a lifetime chance for me and I will savor every minute of it. I really believe in the Marshall athletic department and the rest of the staff at this fine institution. I look to get Marshall back to glory as we were in the 1990s and early 2000s. I am excited about this opportunity. Last off, we are Marshall!!!"

Many were critical of the hiring of James Frizzell, citing that he was not experienced enough, but the Marshall athletic department liked what they had. Frizzell is signed for a 3 year, 1 million dollar contract, meaning he'll receive a rather modest salary of $333,333 a year. His contract goals for this season as set by the athletic department are to maintain team prestige and to win a MAC conference title.

Recruiting is already finished, so coach Frizzell will not have to recruit for this season.
