"The Renegades feel bringing Holzhauer on board will be a great asset for front office operations based on his mathematically-gifted mind. He will be able to exploit current weaknesses, and have the courage to take a risk with new tactics to ensure long-term success for the club," the team wrote.

While the contract for General Manager is only a one-day position, the team says there is a possibility of future employment adding having a Jeopardy! champion at Dutchess Stadium for Thursday trivia would be a great experience for the Renegade's fans.

The team is still waiting on a response from Holzhauer.
