But USC’s new general manager hire — and the other personnel hires since — have leaned less into cap-crunching, front-office experience and more into success in the recruiting realm. That’s not to say that’s the wrong direction to go. New GM Chad Bowden is, by all accounts, a rising star in the personnel world.
