After the AD, who is #2 in College sports programs.

[Butkus51]

I found this interesting in how college GM’s role and position are turning into the NFL model.  In the NFL the GM is #2 and under the owner.  Heck, at Stanford and Cal, their GM are #2 and under the AD in their football power structure.

At USC, since getting GM Bowden and AD Cohen we can see how these 2 have had a positive effect on the USC football program.  Together they are re-building USC back into a top FB program.  Shoot, it looks like GM Bowden is the #2 man in power after AD Cohen.

What do you guys think about who should hold or be #2 in power, GM or HC?  Also, who do you guys think is #2 at USC, GM Bowden or HC. LR?

I think the GM runs the football program.  Maybe the AD has hiring authority  but I think the AD is in charge of all the other sports.   I’m not sure if the GM can fire a coach.  But clearly he has the say in NIL. Recruiting and day to day operations.

Bruddah from what I read, at Stanford and Cal, their GM’s have the power to hire and fire all coaches.  My ? who is #2 at USC and if it is GM Bowden can he hire and fire our HC (C.LR and his AC’s)?

Guessing he has the authority to

do all but hire and fire. But I also bet the ad deals with fundraising or facilities or sponsorships.  Tv and radio deals.

I bet there is a lot the ad deals with.  I just think the stuff that’s important to you and me falls under Bowden

Chip Kelly was a big old fat #2 for UCLA, I can attest to that.
