Nebraska GM hire.

Interesting that it's "Matt Rhule Hires General Manager for Nebraska Football" and not the other way around that it usually is in pro sports.

I wonder if that will change over time.
 

So what happens when a kid "holds out" for more money? I'm assuming the portal. In the meantime, NFL contracts, while not guaranteed, are typically multi-year. It just seems odd to have a GM and structure setup for what amounts to having a student/athlete for potentially 1 year when the NFL doesn't even do that.
 


Kind of supports why GM's will be needed.

 



Interesting to see the former NFL HCs. I can see how this might be more appealing for some of them as opposed to coaching at the college level.
 




Pete Najarian basically lobbying to be Gophers football GM on KFAN this afternoon. Wants to and believes he can help his Alma Mater.

The very best way Pete can support Gopher football is NOT by being the GM of Gopher football. It IS by donating a really, really large chunk of change to the NIL collective. Like really large. And, write the check every year.
 

I thought Gerrit Cherroff (Spelling?) has been our GM since PJ got hired. Maybe he has moved on, but I remember when PJ was hired he introduced him as a GM and thought that was odd. Boy was I off, now college football GM's are common.

Chernoff came with PJ from Western Michigan. He is the GM.

PJ ahead of his time.

I think he can bring in much more money than he’ll donate. Najarian should be in charge of fund raising because I can’t see many people saying no to him. If that’s the GMs job, then give it to him.

it’d be really hard to have a contract that forces people to play. You’re right, there are very alternatives for NFL players. They can’t just sit out and move on to another league. However, thst is pretty unique to the NFL.
 

This is a fundraiser and salary cap NIL manager position, math and process related correct? I don't think it is talent management or recruiting. I think that is more of what Chernoff does recruiting coordination. Gophers must need someone from the AD to incorporate this.

Is there an open position for Football GM? Chernoff is the GM. He oversees every aspect of the program, from the top down. He will be definitely be helping with the salary cap.

Could be, he has both responsibility. I thought AD was hiring a math person for the salary manager or payment role. I could be mistaken and just something from a podcast.

I believe that is true, but that position is not Football GM. That position I believe will oversee department-wide distribution of revenue share with emphasis on the five sports that have been deemed worthy of getting a chunk of that money (FB, MBB, WBB, VB, MHock). That is also a GM-type role. Not sure if they decided to hire that position yet or not.

As long as he keeps his big yap shut about the coaches I am fine with this.

Not a bad gig. Although I doubt he’ll have time to plan much. Just show up with the cred, smile and title, and the money should roll in.
