Connor Stalions please. He'll go the extra mile.
February 7th, 2024 at 11:32 PM ^
... here's my cover letter ... and here's my resume ... and here's a copy of my manifesto.
February 8th, 2024 at 7:36 AM ^
I recently found out that Connor Stalions is on Cameo. I have a buckeye friend who is about to get the greatest gift ever...
February 7th, 2024 at 11:25 PM ^
Sounds like Webb has good news about Coach Clink.
February 7th, 2024 at 11:34 PM ^
Bring him home ...
February 8th, 2024 at 10:01 AM ^
He can eat my liver any day
February 7th, 2024 at 11:43 PM ^
I mean, I can manage generally. Maybe I should apply.
February 7th, 2024 at 11:43 PM ^
Is this basically the Courtney Morgan role? I hope we find someone as good , or just re-find Morgan. I would suggest that this job actually be two jobs who both report to Sherrone. The NIL part should be a full time job for at least one person, if not more.
February 8th, 2024 at 12:41 AM ^
Deboer took Morgan to Alabama with him so that's, in all likely hood, not happening, but I believe the name floated for the job is Derek Hoodjer, Assistant AD for Player Personnel at Iowa State. The more I look at him, the more I like him for the job.
I think the GM is just the point guy for our "front office" similar to the NFL model and there will be multiple specifically individuals (i.e. Director of Player Personnel, Director of Recruiting, and hypothetically a Director of NIL Management) who would report to the GM. So, the GM can be Sherrone's Robin, per our old ball coach, and Batman can focus on football.
February 8th, 2024 at 6:27 AM ^
Hoodjer is out
February 8th, 2024 at 12:28 PM ^
Having difficulty digging up the story with the info, but I think it was because Moore's priority shifted to filling the on-field roles; the combo of the timing shift and a raise at Iowa St. resulted in the negotiations ending.
February 7th, 2024 at 11:49 PM ^
I nominate Brian.
February 8th, 2024 at 7:44 AM ^
No offense to Brian, but I think this job calls for Alex Drain!!!
February 7th, 2024 at 11:55 PM ^
It’s not a high enough position and pay scale given the new challenges
February 8th, 2024 at 12:21 AM ^
It is only posted for seven days, so they probably already have someone in mind to hire for this position, and are just posting online to meet University/legal requirements.

Bio
Rob Ianello rejoined the Kansas Football program as the General Manager in May of 2021, bringing more than 30 years of college coaching experience with him to Lawrence.
Ianello spent the previous six seasons at Buffalo with head coach Lance Leipold. Ianello served as the wide receivers coach during his time with the Bulls. Under his guidance, the Bulls produced All-MAC receivers in each of his last four seasons as receivers coach. Last season, Antonio Nunn was named All-MAC for the second straight season. He tied the school record with 13 catches for 182 yards against Ball State in the 2020 MAC Championship Game.
Nunn earned third-team all-conference honors the year before with 49 catches for 687 yards and six touchdowns. In 2018, Buffalo had two receivers named to the All-MAC team in the same season as Anthony Johnson and K.J. Osborn were named to the third-team. Johnson became the third player in school history with two 1,000-yard receiving seasons in a career. He also had 25 touchdown catches in his career, good for third in school history.
In his first season with the program in 2015, the Buffalo receivers thrived under Ianello’s tutelage. For the first time as an FBS program, Buffalo had three players with 50 or more catches in a season.
Prior to his time at Buffalo, Ianello spent three seasons here in Lawrence, where he served as the recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach for the Jayhawks.
Ianello came to Kansas the first time from Akron, where he was the head coach in 2010 and 2011. He served as a member of the Notre Dame coaching staff from 2005 to 2009, coaching the Irish in the 2008 Hawai’I Bowl, 2007 Sugar Bowl and 2006 Fiesta Bowl. He served as the wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator for the Irish, before being promoted to assistant head coach for offense. HE later served as the team’s interim head coach.
As the recruiting director at Notre Dame, he helped land three straight top-10 recruiting classes from 2006 to 2006. He was also named one of the top 25 recruiters nationally by Rivals.com during his time at Notre Dame.
Prior to Notre Dame, Ianello was in his second stint at Wisconsin, here he was a part of a staff that went to 2003 Music City Bowl and the 2005 Outback Bowl.
From 1994-2002, Ianello served on staff at Arizona. He served as the recruiting coordinator from 1994-1996 and was the wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator from 1997 to 2002. The 1998 Arizona team went 12-1, which still stands as the best record in program history.
Ianello served on the board of trustees of the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) from 2003 to 2009. He also served as the chair of the AFCA’s assistant coaches’ committee and the general chairman of the AFCA’s all-division assistant coaches’ committee.
Ianello is a native of Port Chester, N.Y., and a 1987 graduate of the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., with a degree in English.
He and his wife, the former Denise Dove, have one son, Zachary, and two daughters Ashley and Courtney. Denise played collegiate basketball at Northern Illinois and is a former assistant women’s basketball coach at Arizona and Wisconsin. She also worked as a scout in the WNBA.

"As the recruiting director at Notre Dame, he helped land three straight top-10 recruiting classes from 2006 to 2006."
Now THAT is impressive!

@connor stallions
February 8th, 2024 at 2:07 AM ^
So Connor Stalions isn't being invited to apply?!
Did he show them the Manifesto?!
February 8th, 2024 at 11:05 AM ^
What's the point of writing a manifesto if you don't show it to people at every opportunity?
February 8th, 2024 at 4:51 AM ^
Jason Kelce just retired. Young guy. Can have a good time. May not drive through Wendy’s naked but will lose his shirt now and then.
February 8th, 2024 at 6:40 AM ^
Would this just be a plot to recruit his brother’s girlfriend to Ann Arbor for games?
February 8th, 2024 at 7:55 AM ^
The fun thing about Michigan state law on posting jobs is that all of them have to be posted. I've applied for every Michigan HC job that's opened since Carr just so that I could say I did. Listed my impressive NCAA XX stats for experience and MgoPoints for reference.
Never got an interview... /shrug
February 8th, 2024 at 9:59 AM ^
Username checks out
February 8th, 2024 at 10:16 AM ^
Their loss. If they can't see the value of NCAA XX stats then what else can you do really?
February 8th, 2024 at 9:28 AM ^
Applied
February 8th, 2024 at 10:12 AM ^
My interview is on Friday at 9:30 am.
February 8th, 2024 at 10:52 AM ^
I think we should crowdsource the position.
February 8th, 2024 at 11:11 AM ^
This is setting up to look like an NFL system. Everyone has their roles, small in scope but crucial. Position coaches can concentrate on working with the current players and game preparation rather than spending 70% of their time on recruiting.
February 8th, 2024 at 11:18 AM ^
Recruiting = NIL nowadays.
February 8th, 2024 at 11:16 AM ^
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
February 8th, 2024 at 11:28 AM ^
Calling MaizeBlueA2
February 8th, 2024 at 12:02 PM ^
browse the resumes and use the wonderlic test and GRE composite score. The michigan just noticable difference.
February 8th, 2024 at 12:34 PM ^
This probably means they've already picked the guy and are running out the clock.
February 8th, 2024 at 2:32 PM ^
This is kind of a big deal, nothing to joke about. This is a huge step for Michigan and I for one am very happy about it.
February 8th, 2024 at 5:28 PM ^
I hope Mr. Strickland doesn’t find out that I applied.
February 9th, 2024 at 11:29 AM ^
Wonder if there are any openings for a Barely Manager.
