The GM position has 5 critical roles (probably more, but simplifying for this point): (1) business/budget, (2) player personnel selection , (3) scouting, (4) recruiting, and (5) maintaining a network to ensure recruiting success.
(1) and (5) are best handled by a University GM/team to outlast the HC.
(2) is best determined by a HC-selected GM/team intimate with the HC philosophy and vision.
(3) and (4) should be an integration of the University GM/team and the HC-selected GM/team.
So, let's look at Ole Miss. They have a GM (Scott Glasscock) who owns "strategic planning, staff performance, program budgeting, staff leadership, player acquisition, roster and cap management, recruiting, player development and player retention." and Associate AD (Dr. Thaddeus Rivers) who owns "the day-to-day administrative operations of the football program including program budget, game day operations, team travel, and compliance."
Glasscock reports to Lane Kiffin (and makes about 10% of the Salary that Kiffin makes). Thaddeus and Kiffin both report to the AD (Keith Carter).
Universities are going to wish they had taken a more pro-like or Stanford-like model that establishes a less-transient GM.
Unless the schools all decide to take this new approach, it's not going to happen. No proven coach is going to agree to this model. And because of supply/demand, the schools are going to cower to the coaches, unless... schools start paying coaches and players similarly. I don't think that happens unless/until players are given the same employment agreement(s) that coaches get.
What Shelton said, and also it's tied to seat licensing for season tickets. He promised massive fundraising when he was hired and has largely failed. He's certainly made some good coaching hires, but the lack of fundraising tied with the decline of football on his watch leads me to believe we need new leadership there.

# | Some say the sun shines brightest the day Pawl Finebaum gets removed from ESPN This is a very weird hill for you to die on.
Once you get to a certain age, you kind of have to choose one.

# | Some say the sun shines brightest the day Pawl Finebaum gets removed from ESPN Thanks! I can only hope to be in the same condition he is when I'm at his age. He looks 55.
His best friend is 71 and "retired," and is now a sub contractor working for the same company he retired from. Still seems he is working 40-50 hours a week but the guy will tell you he can never have enough money. It sounds like the way you did it is the way to go! Fishing is way more important anyways.

# | The Argument for Dan Mullen to be the next VT Football Coach It fits both.
Probably. But that doesn't change the fact that "Colandrea" sounds like some sort of STD.

# | Some say the sun shines brightest the day Pawl Finebaum gets removed from ESPN I'm bigoted against old politicians who clearly have lost cognitive ability making decisions that affect every citizen in the country. I'm not bigoted against old people.
This is a very weird hill for you to die on. Amazing.

I can only guess this was supposed to be in the Colandrea sub thread
Pretty sure he's color blind
FTFY

Hire him. He's the number one target.
I guess my sarcasm didn't come through

I'm drawing a bright line: college sports are not for sale. They are highly subsidized public goods and should be managed in service of their public educational mission, not carved up as a new asset class for private equity or foreign sovereign wealth funds. https://t.co/TtJTH5EHqQ— Congressman Michael Baumgartner (@RepBaumgartner) October 7, 2025
I remember when Florida was where hockey players went to retire.
They usually win like 3 or 4 in a row towards the end of January too. Then February rolls around and the wheels come all the way off
edit: switching things up this year, wheels coming off even faster than normal. Great greatgreatgreat
Is this at the Federal level?
The lemon couldn't possibly have been worth the squeeze, but it's good that they removed the temptation.
There might have been some interest from Bravo's "Housewives of" viewership in Jordan Hudson, the girlfriend .
I'd have been torn between hate watching the glorious failure and not wanting to give them the money for my views
You nailed it. This isn't a process where there will be public updates throughout. If anything, it will be incredibly secretive and any updates are intentional leaks from agents/etc.
