We Have A Football GM, Right?

Fake fan?
there appears to have been 1 single thread about our GM on this board

it garnered exactly zero replies


this also appears to be the first time his presser has been posted on this board.

guessing this will be news to more than just me, a lifelong diehard and proud UNL alum.

We Have A Football GM, Right?

Lol, a GM in College Football does not do the same thing as GM at the Pro level. GM's in college are at the Beckon Call of the Head Coach. A College GM's role is strictly Adminstrative. They are going to be responsible for the budget, coordinating Logistics, managing all the Support staff, and they will have some oversight into NIL revenue sharing going forward.

The GM isn't calling the shots about the choice of players or roster development. That's still up to Rhule and his staff. Now, Dr. Elza and Padden do handle some work "vetting" players. Rhule and staff might say, "we like this athlete and think his talent is sufficient." The GM and staff will then contact former coaches, teachers, even janitors to find out if the player is an asshole or a good fit.

Nebraska already has a scouting staff led by Jamar Mozee. He has a pretty extensive network nationwide. His group will identify a player. Rhule and the staff will then determine if they want to recruit the kid. The GM team doesn't really hop on board until after an offer is made and they are ready to talk money.
Per our GM's first answer in his May, 2024 press conference:

"All of our recruiting apparatus rolls up through me. All things associated with recruiting runs up to me."

"Additionally, I am our main liaison to our collective."

So, as usual, this post seems dead wrong.

he also runs the scout team, per himself.

lots of player development/talent eval responsibility for a career paper pusher.

I knew it, you bastages!

I guess I’ll try to get a few posters together for some drinks or something. That game is Nov 8th, which is a picture perfect time here. Last game here under Pelini it was 96 degrees
I was at that game sitting on the sunny side of the bowl. There was some sweat happening. The Bruin fans were nice about having a loud Husker fan in their section. It was a fun time except for the final score.

Ha! Don’t forget who’s monitoring this board.

Anyway, I’ll buy you a beer… you coming to the Rose Bowl in the fall for the UCLA game?

Doubtful. Beautiful state, but I have no desire to have to navigate through syringes and feces.

is that guy really our GM?

@HUSKERBILL what qualifies our guy better than being the Scouting Director for the #1 seed in the NFC?

he looks like he won the job via a Matt Rhule lookalike contest.
lol, #1 seed… what have they won? I don’t care about their seed. Show me the trophy. Or something like that.

Please tell me if I didn’t do it right.
