8% — Will Tim Sharfman be selected to be Akron's Offensive Coordinator of the Game Kalshi 8% · 9 contracts · $631 volume · medium confidence Updated 2026-08-24 01:17:48 UTC Why this matters: This represents the likelihood that Tim Sharfman will be selected as Akron's Offensive Coordinator of the Game by the end of the 2026 football season. The 5% probability suggests limited market confidence in Sharfman relative to other candidates, particularly Dan "Big Cat" Katz who trades at 16 cents. The market is pricing in uncertainty about coaching staff selections for Akron's upcoming games. Key drivers of this probability include Sharfman's current employment status, his prior coaching experience, and whether Akron's coaching staff undergoes changes during the season. Resolution will occur when Akron formally announces its offensive coordinator selection, likely following the end of their 2026 regular season in November or December 2026. Market participants appear to be evaluating candidates based on publicly available coaching history and current organizational structure. Key factors: - Tim Sharfman's current coaching position and availability relative to Akron's offensive coordinator role - Comparison of Sharfman's coaching credentials against other candidates like Dan Katz, who trades at significantly higher odds - Current composition and stability of Akron's coaching staff heading into the 2026 season - Historical pattern of Akron's offensive coordinator selections and any stated hiring preferences - Timing and announcement of coaching staffing decisions, typically occurring during or after the regular season Contracts: - Will Dan "Big Cat" Katz be selected to be Akron's Offensive Coordinator of the Game?: Dan "Big Cat" Katz — 14¢ Kalshi $560 (weight 89%) - Will James Bordeaux be selected to be Akron's Offensive Coordinator of the Game?: James Bordeaux — 7¢ Kalshi $71 (weight 11%) - Will Brandon Wigen be selected to be Akron's Offensive Coordinator of the Game?: Brandon Wigen — 7¢ Kalshi $0 (weight 0%) - Will Jack Rooney be selected to be Akron's Offensive Coordinator of the Game?: Jack Rooney — 7¢ Kalshi $0 (weight 0%) - Will Mike Beck Jr. be selected to be Akron's Offensive Coordinator of the Game?: Mike Beck Jr. — 7¢ Kalshi $0 (weight 0%) - Will Martin Alan Whims II be selected to be Akron's Offensive Coordinator of the Game?: Martin Alan Whims II — 7¢ Kalshi $0 (weight 0%) - Will Steve Moyer be selected to be Akron's Offensive Coordinator of the Game?: Steve Moyer — 7¢ Kalshi $0 (weight 0%) - Will Sean Struncius be selected to be Akron's Offensive Coordinator of the Game?: Sean Struncius — 7¢ Kalshi $0 (weight 0%) - ... and 1 more --- ## Methodology SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question.
