Negative.
The AD position becomes less important. Their focus is financial, marketing, political situations, and figuring out how to make any other sport profitable. I don't want an AD dealing with the portal or looking at individual talent on the field.

Yeah I’m not really seeing a HC just stick to this. Like Bill Parcella said, they’re gonna wanna do some grocery shopping for the roster and their staff.

Even allowing for some overlap in duties/ roles, I don’t think this is realistic.

Firmly disagree. A good football coach will want to focus on football. They get a seat at the table for recruiting. They get a seat at the table for the portal. They just don't drive the conversation. He's put out there to help sway opinions.

Think about Joe Brady. He hates recruiting. How many other NFL guys are there that hate the recruiting and and the portal so they go/stay NFL. How many good coaches (Saban) can't make it work in the current model? They have a great football mind, but it's wasted because of the current state of things. This would likely be a relief to a lot of really great coaches.

You still pick your staff. You just have a guy that's also in the room making sure it's a good pick. You still can recommend players and express your top needs.

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.

Stop overthinking it. Kiffin would be a great hire.

Every defense he has ever fielded as HC sucks.

Only reason why you go after him is to make Ole Miss Pay $12M a year.

Or require them to earn only their congressional salary. Any additional income goes towards the national debt.

I'd prefer a Louisiana state law that taxed any speaking, book deals, or anything else gained by their status at 60% for the state. Takes affect for any thing that happens while in office and the 2 or 4 years following leaving office. The state elects their representation. The money should go back to the state.

It shouldn't be forever, but it should at least have an affect while they hold name brand recognition due to Louisianan's electing them.

Next to strangers!!! Omg!!! Not strangers!!!!
