General Manager

[newyorkvol]

Kinda reluctant to start a whole thread, but seeing the success that Vandy and Ole Miss have had with their use of a General Manager, specifically as it relates to portal acquisitions, are we getting the most out of our Executive Football Manager?

We were 8-4 and got blown out by Vandy at home. Does that answer the question?

 

[Volbrando]

we have an executive football manager?

You stole my post! Could have had a manager, AD and assistant line coach all in one.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

It’s time for one honestly, with how White works thought this would be a thing already

 

[VolInDayton]

And Kiffin took his Ole Miss GM to LSU with him.

Didn't LSU have a guy who got his MBA from Tennessee that everyone said was one of the best?

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

If we have one what’s be been doing the last few years?

Billy's high, no wonder he's not very good...

Yes, Austin Thomas.

Lane Kiffin brings elite general manager to LSU football

Lane Kiffin is bringing significant personnel from Oxford to LSU, including respected GM Billy Glasscock.

Interestingly, Thomas was at Ole Miss then left for LSU. Ole Miss current GM Glasscock is supposed to be going with Kiffen to LSU. Maybe Thomas to UT??

 

[Good Ol' Charlie Brown]

The fact we need this now makes me depressed.

Kiffin may have the cash commitment from LSU to keep both. Double the portal raiding?

It’s okay. We can double up the talent fee to pay the salary. No big deal.

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

Could’ve had a general manager but we got High.

He may have the cash, but the divorce with him and Thomas was not amicable so very little chance Austin Thomas stays at LSU.

I wouldn’t read too much into the Vandy game. We competed toe to toe with three top 10 teams and it didn’t go our way with a transfer QB and our two best defenders hurt. Players were done by that mostly meaningless game against a pretty good team. Can’t keep looking at Vandy like the Vandy we used to know.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Hire 3 of them if it means Vandy doesn’t dress us up in a dress and have their way with us inside neyland.

If our 2s and 3s can't keep from getting boat raced at home by Vandy we have some serious problems.

I read a lot into the Vandy game. They have a good team and coaches. But they should Never come into Neyland and Dominate us like that! Never!
