LSU must revolutionize ....

Lets face it. The current list of coaches aren't desirable. It's because the system has changed, but the organizational structure has not.

The current head coach model is completely antiquated.

We keep pretending that one man can be a CEO, recruiter, public figure, play-caller, transfer-portal manager, NIL negotiator, and locker-room psychologist all at once. And it’s why we’re burning through $10/$12-million-a-year head coaches who barely coach football. These systems are setup for failure.


Hire a General Manager

• General Manager: handles everything off the field — staffing, recruiting, transfer portal, NIL coordination, compliance, contracts, legal, etc.
• Head Coach: is actually your Offensive Coordinator. He gets to scheme, game planning, work on player development, and winning football games.

This separation lets football coaches coach football, while professionals handle the increasingly complex business side of college athletics.

Think about the benefits:
1. Coaches that hate recruiting are now back on the table.
2. This lets people be really great at one thing instead of ok at all the things.
3. NIL and the transfer portal have turned roster management into a year round grind. Not really what you want your play callers thinking about while trying to win games. Let a GM build the roster like it’s the NFL. Now your coach isn't worried about who he's going to lose in the portal when fielding a team and instead is putting the best players on the field no matter the situation.
4. You Save Serious Money. Instead of paying a “CEO” head coach $10M/$12M and an OC $2M, flip the structure. Pay the GM $2–3M to run operations and the Head Coach/OC $2.5–3M to handle the football side. You have more money for NIL deals.
5. Completely revolutionize college football.
• The AD oversees the athletic department.
• The GM oversees the football operation.
• The HC oversees the game plan.
6. Start getting real deals made. NIL deals based on performance just like the HC job, the GM job, etc. Everyone is based on performance.


The Current System Is Impossible for one person to manage all these things effectively. The NFL isn't stupid. They make money for a reason. Follow their lead.

LSU could be the school that flips the model and sets the trend for the next 20 years. Imagine being the first program to structure itself like an NFL front office — a football operations team rather than a one-man empire.
