Andrew Luck was named Stanford's Football GM earlier today:
Luck, 35, has accepted a newly created role at Stanford, which will place him above the entire program and is a distinct evolution from the traditional college general manager role. The hire could loom as a harbinger for structural changes in college football front offices across the sport.
Luck's role involves everything Stanford football touches, football-wise and business-wise. The football-specific duties will include managing the coaching staff, the player personnel staff, recruiting, roster management and the student-athlete experience.
His business duties will include some aspects often associated with an NFL team president role: fundraising, sponsorships, attendance, sales, in-stadium experience and alumni relations.
My understanding is that Luck controls the entire program (instead of Stanford's athletic director), which includes hiring and firing coaching staff.
Would VT benefit from a similar structure? Is there an obvious choice to fill that role?
