Is the GM like a glorified or de facto recruiting coordinator, like Vinny Cerrato was for Holtz, when we had a whole bunch of elite classes in a row? Chief salesman basically, or however you'd describe that. And throw in NIL related shit into the mix, even though I would think your GM would not set NIL policy and whatnot for the program, as that would be so crucial that obviously MF or the HC would definitely want final say on that. Or even more than final say, to be as involved as he wanted to, to the point of the HC is one who sets all NIL policy, and not a GM, and he takes his marching orders from the HC.
And it's not so much scouting either, and the coaches are still heavily involved in the scouting and setting up the draft boards if you will, for players that get offers and who gets priority and all that, and the coaches decide on that. Or maybe the GM and his 'team' do the bulk of the scouting and film work. I was just thinking it was mainly chief salesman, so the coaches don't have to deal with that shit anywhere near as much.

Family....tough to move 5 kids and a wife from Texas when you don't have to / already have a good job
Didn't Notre Dame use the same excuse when they failed to sign Wittingham because they didn't want to pay his modest buyout at Utah?
Texas born. Texas raised, 5 really young kids. The dude’s entire family lives in Texas.
“There’s no place like home.” Dorothy-1939
These factos can be very important, especially if kids are involved in activities.
Exactly...if he was unemployed....or the pay bum was so crazy but there is no sense risking divorce....
Kind of easy to speak for another when you have no idea his family reasons.
So he turned down the ND job to avoid a divorce. Wow. I think he should have just taken it anyway, called his wife's bluff. But you have to think about the kids, they don't want to grow up in a broken home. Can't risk it. I don't see how Lubbock is better than S Bend, that seems like a wash to me. I guess it doesn't snow as much.
Except you have to live in Lubbock. Biggest shit hole in Texas
Why would you conclude that the rejection was focused on divorce?
The displacement and relocation of five children to a new environment is a very serious and traumatic event in the lives of those children
He made his decision and we should respect it
Chase is the ultimate horse’s ass and he doesn’t even care.
Can you ever just STFU, are you that desperate for attention? For F's sake, I was just goofing off, you imbecile. I don't even know who this dumb motherfcker is, nor does anyone else on this message board. He's just some stranger, he's a name. He doesn't have anything to do with ND at all. There's no need for anyone at all in the ND fan universe to give a F about his personal life. He didn't take the job, who the F knows why. Whether you 'respect' something or not has no existence in the known universe. It's just you babbling like a creep.
