Official Armchair Coach Contest: Get Paid To Yell At Your TV
Get paid $2,000 to yell at your TV!
Think you could call plays better than the pros? Always shouting advice at your screen on Sundays?
We’re scouting every corner of the country for the ultimate Armchair Coach. Whether you’re breaking down plays in your living room or screaming at the refs in your basement, we’re putting $2,000 on the line to crown the loudest fan in football.
Know someone who takes their couch coaching way too seriously? Nominate them! You can submit a video or essay on their behalf — friends, family, your fantasy football league, or even your dad who still thinks he could’ve gone pro.
Armchair Coach Prizes
As our official Armchair Coach, you’ll receive:
- $2,000 cash prize
- A whistle
- Foam finger (left hand only, to leave right hand free for snacks)
- Gallon of Gatorade to pour on your own head
What You’ll Do as the Armchair Coach
As RotoGrinders’ Official Armchair Coach, you’ll get paid $2,000 to do what you already do best—watch football and yell at your TV like you mean it.
Here’s what your “job” entails:
- Watch football like a pro (from your couch).
- Pick a game (your choice!)
- Record your best reactions, post-game rants, or instant analysis- or share a written recap of your finest coaching takes.
How to Enter the 2025 RotoGrinders’ Armchair Contest
You can join the competition in one of two ways:
Video Submission
Show us your best Armchair Coach moment!
Record a quick video (up to 2 minutes) of you watching a football game — yelling at the TV, calling plays, celebrating touchdowns, or breaking down the action like a pro.
Upload your video to YouTube, TikTok, or another public platform (set to public or unlisted) and drop the link in your entry form.
Essay Submission
Write a short essay (150–300 words) explaining why you (or someone you know) is the ultimate Armchair Quarterback.
Your essay can include a brief recap of a game, key insights into your coaching perspective, or memorable moments that show your football passion and knowledge. Use this space to show off your personality, humor, and football smarts — we want to know what makes you the ultimate fan strategist.
Where to Enter
All submissions can be entered here — whether you’re representing yourself or the loudest guy in your tailgating crew.
Entries close at 11:59 PM EST on December 10th, 2025, which is shortly after the long-anticipated arrival of Missouri sports betting.
Judging
Our one lucky winner will be notified within 7 days of the competition closing that they are RotoGrinders’ Official Armchair Coach.
Entries will be judged on creativity, entertainment value, and overall delivery—we’re looking for personality, not production quality.
