Penn State coach James Franklin says the Nittany Lions need to find an experienced contract manager to navigate college football's next phase.
College football players soon will be signing financial contracts with athletic departments. As a result, Penn State coach James Franklin wants to hire an expert with NFL contract experience, probably pretty soon. And on the Penn State Coaches Show, Franklin briefly described the job description for the following: Penn State football general manager.
The subject arose when Steve Jones, Penn State football's radio play-by-play announcer and host of the Coaches Show, asked Franklin about some unique news this week. Adrian Wojnarowski, ESPN's former NBA insider and a premium source of breaking news, retired from his multimillion-dollar role to become. The news surprised leaders in both media and college athletics, though the job itself is becoming essential to college sports.
Last year, Frank received the title of general manager of personnel and recruitment. He oversees a recruiting staff of 11 that includes a director of player personnel, five recruiting coordinators and a director of recruiting content, among others. But as college athletic departments move toward signing players to contracts and paying them, Franklin said he wants to add experience in that space as well.
