It's confusing......

because as of yet there is no consensus on what model works best or whether different models may work better in differing situations. The cookie cutter approach made popular by the NFL works because of the standardization of NFL rules and NFL franchises.

Franklin has some one in mind - Pry ! ! **
uber hokie • 11/19/25 04:01 PM ET
No thanks. Pry can be a defensive analyst in back room. Don't see him as GM**

It would help if the titling was clear
One4VT • 11/19/25 03:53 PM ET
You can't really.....
2hhoop3 • 11/19/25 04:03 PM ET
I dont view it as seperate from the design element.
One4VT • 11/19/25 04:09 PM ET
We will just disagree......

I think a college GM basically manages recruiting, roster, portal, and NIL**

They are becoming very common. Andrew Luck of the colts is the GM at
novahokie88 • 11/19/25 03:14 PM ET
Luck actually proves my point, hes an actual functioning GM

Makes it even more confusing.**

Apparently, GMs work for the football coaches in college.**
reestuart • 11/19/25 03:04 PM ET
Probably needs a different title then...**
One4VT • 11/19/25 03:10 PM ET
It is definitely confusing to me.**
reestuart • 11/19/25 03:15 PM ET
GM is coming from PSU, so it will follow the model they had there.
HokieInClifton • 11/19/25 03:04 PM ET
I think when Coach became available, the search

If it reports to head whistle, GM title is misleading IMO**
