When will Pitt add a GM?

[JD1976]

With the “salary cap” era of college football starting this coming year, it seems like it’s a matter of when, not if, all P4 programs will have a top administrator. UNC obviously went out and hired a former NFL GM, while others are probably just going to elevate someone already in their program.

Any rumblings on what Pitt may do?

i feel like Whaley would be perfect for that role.

I'm really less concerned about the titles and more concerned about having the right people. I'm sure the responsibilities of the director player personnel, recruiting director, etc. have slightly changed over the past few years.

Him or Louis Riddick!

Why would he take a pay cut from TV?
Especially while he’s a candidate for a NFL front office gig ?

I said he’d be perfect for the role, not that he would accept the role.

What makes him perfect ?
It’s not like we have a huge NIL budget that’s tough to navigate .
Seems most of our NIL is from private company sources.

Pat gets paid plenty - he should be able to handle
It himself .

A couple things stand out to me:

• NFL front office experience, meaning he’d be able to handle the financial side of roster construction in the NIL era + any player scouting
• ESPN personality = high school prospects are familiar with him. Not to mention he’s a great ambassador of the university and could sell our program well (both to recruits and donors)
• Industry connections could help with filling any coaching staff openings

Again, I don’t think he’d actually accept, but he’d be my pie-in-the-sky GM candidate, kind of like Aaron Donald would be for DL Coach. But I do disagree about not needing a GM; we’re trending to the point where it’s a necessity to have one. It’d be like running an NFL franchise without a front office.

Chi-Chi’s is making a comeback 20 years after its last restaurant closed

The chain closed in 2004 following a hepatitis A outbreak at a Pittsburgh-area location traced to green onions served in its complimentary salsa, sickening about 650 people and resulting in four deaths and several hundred lawsuits.

I would rather the coach to focus on actual coaching rather than negotiating with agents.

He doesn’t seem to pay much attention to that either

You guys act this is hard
80% of our roster doesn’t deserve NIL
Let them walk .
