Football Assistant Roles

General Manager for Football job posted yesterday:

JOB SUMMARY

The University of Connecticut is seeking applications and nominations for the position of General Manager for Football.

The General Manager (GM) for Football at the University of Connecticut (UConn) must be a visionary leader responsible for the football program's comprehensive management, innovation, and strategic direction. This role demands a proven track record in initiating and implementing innovative projects, functioning as an intrapreneur within the athletics department and the greater UConn system. The GM will establish and lead key departments, including analytics, personnel and talent evaluation, and corporate partnerships, ensuring the football program remains at the forefront of collegiate athletics.

Intrapreneur - that’s a word? Egads.

This hire is as important as the HC hire. And likely to go to a less experienced, less qualified candidate, unfortunately. Hope for the best with this kid. Based on the job description, it is a bear.

Isn't Sac State (awful name to call it...) where Connor Stutz came from?

Our new GM is smart to get out of there.

Sac State applied to go FBS, left the Big Sky before they had assurances from the NCAA, then had their application to move to FBS denied by the NCAA. Now they are stuck as an FCS independent and their local friends in the Big Sky have no interest in scheduling them.

Last I saw they only had 5 games on the books for next season. They are so desperate for games they are taking a 3000 mile trip to Orono, Maine in November.

Great get for the Black Bears, though!

Yup, in large organizations and dictionaries for a few to several decades.

Widely known and used in California, west coast, and FCS.

So is Kashif Moore gone?

So is Kashif Moore gone?

The early chatter was that Moore would be leaving. The Dixon hire seems to fall in line with Moore moving on, potentially following our ex-coach.

 

[ScottVib]

Rumor I had seen was Moore was following Mora to Colorado State

Dixon: Experience with the Ravens in the NFL, in Florida (UF, FAU, FIU) and Georgia (Tech), reported strong recruiter at least while with the Gators. Good to have Sunshine State, Peach State, and NFL experience.

He spent one year at Kent State:

Toughest G6 jobs per The Athletic:

1. Kent State

Points: 100
First-place votes: 6
Last winning season: 2020

The Golden Flashes removed the interim tag from Mark Carney in late October. He won five games this season, and that should be viewed as a major step forward considering Kent State won just one game over the previous two seasons.

Sean Lewis, currently the head coach at San Diego State, went 24-31 at Kent State from 2018 through 2022, and he was considered a miracle worker.

There’s no real history of success. The resources are lacking, as is the commitment. And there are several losses baked into the schedule every season because the program has to play so many “buy” games against P4 powers — the Golden Flashes played Texas Tech, Florida State and Oklahoma this season.

“Virtually impossible,” a G5 personnel staffer said.

Sac State makes me think of Cam Skattebo…they could identify talent.

With the recent announcement from ESPN about our new OC, what do we know about him? Are we happy about this? Is Sammis out of our minds now?

Since Candle does the play calling, OC role is important but not critical.

Great ties to New Jersey schools. Served as an interim HC multiple times. Has been discussed as a future HC. No real feel for his coordinator abilities.
