You can't really.....

title something accurately until you have a clear understanding of how you want it to work. For me, I want them to get the design, structure and execution right and we can worry about what to call it later.

As I have posted many times. Need to find better term. He is bringing in
Jwunderdog • 11/19/25 04:31 PM ET
Some below say shoot first, aim later. Appreciate that title context!**
One4VT • 11/19/25 04:34 PM ET
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 was TIC **
uber hokie • 11/19/25 04:10 PM ET
It's confusing......
2hhoop3 • 11/19/25 03:49 PM ET
It would help if the titling was clear

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
One4VT • 11/19/25 03:29 PM ET
Makes it even more confusing.**
reestuart • 11/19/25 03:43 PM ET
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
gobblecreek • 11/19/25 03:55 PM ET
If it reports to head whistle, GM title is misleading IMO**
