Tailgating season is right around the corner and while these 15 college football coaches may not be able to participate, they’d be the life of the party if they did.

Late-August and early-September is an exciting time for college football fans. The best sport in the world returns, ending a long summer of football-less turmoil.

While the return of college football is on every fan’s mind, so is tailgating season.

College football is one of those sports that draws millions of tailgaters each weekend to campuses across America. You don’t see this kind of turnout at college basketball or even most NFL games. Tailgating on a college campus just has a different feel that screams “fall is here” and gets everyone in the mood.

Is it the smell of cigars and hot dogs that revs the average football fan’s engine? Maybe, but it’s also the camaraderie between fans and rivals before a big game. It’s the only time on Saturdays that you can have a beverage with an opposing fan and forget about the hatred you have for their team. It’s a special time.

But this ritual would be completely different if college coaches could participate and show their wildest sides at your tailgate parties.

If coaches could swing by tailgates before the games and join in the fun, who would be the life of the party?
