We are likely going to have to pay way more than Ohio State to get Hiter, just like we probably did with Sanders, etc., and that is one of our biggest problems right now. If Huepel would hire a GM and quit just promoting GA’s on the offensive side and hire the best available position coaches, we would bring in a whole lot more talent for our money. Instead we have to overpay and put all our NIL eggs in just a few baskets.

Side note: I feel a lot better about Sims than some of the other guys on the offensive side.

I’m probably more adamant about replacing some of the guys on the offensive side with ace recruiters. Outside of a few programs, I think we are in that next tier $-wise and there is not a whole lot of difference between us and all the others in that tier. All things roughly equal $, it’s gonna come down to old fashioned recruiting.

It does seem like the WR situation as a whole took Huepel by bit of surprise. Maybe a GM would have helped him see it coming/managed it or maybe a more seasoned position coach. Not sure which is the answer. Anyhow, I can’t think he intentionally wanted that position to end up as thin as it is.

I don't think that is hire to make. DW's one would assume.

Depends on the school. Some schools are making those hires and they report to the AD or a deputy responsible for football. Others report to the HC. Steven Ruzic, Scott Altizer and some others currently collaborate to fill that role for vol football.

Not the same in collaboration vs the position as a GM. All comes down to the authorization of the position, who their boss is as a result of the hire. The GM position is to take the load and responsibility off of the HC and some of the accountability. He stills answers to the AD in the end and will be accountable. I don't know why Tennessee has not authorized the slot or gone to it.

Regardless, I don't think it is CJH's hire to make and that is what I was saying. He can recommend, but evidently we are not at that point.
