So you think they chose the GM without Sha’s input? He’s the one who chose him.

Other than Brian Cashman, name two GM’s that’s lasted more than 6 years. It’s a useless position that has been glorified by media.
What?! Haha
Riley
Bob Myers would’ve been there forever if he wanted (now donleavy will break 6 years)
Dombroski
Ravens rarely change gms
Steelers rarely change gms
Joe S giants will likely pass6 years
There are lots
And again you have no clue what you’re saying..these GMs are not a pro model at all
But thanks for adding zero to the discussion the board appreciates it
What’s the difference between GM having 5 days to learn the portal targets and Sha having an extra 10 days to learn the portal targets. Meaningless statement
You guessed as to what a GM will do. None of your posts mentioned what the assistant coaches will do? Solid reading comprehension by you.
Anyone who thinks the GM is a bad decision should go touch grass. There is nothing but upside to this move
Oh okay. I guess our genius GM has a magical list of players he found himself that’s so much better.
Our NIL director was Bryan Felts buddy. Who was a career job hopper and had no success.
The new GM has a solid background and good relationships. Idk why you’re even wasting breath arguing
Our GM’s list is worth 300-500k per year? For 4-5 months of work? Keep dreaming this is some magical solution. When Hines demands more than we can pay him. What’s the GM gonna do? Oh
Again it’s not a big deal but worth a try but you have ZERO clue what you are talking about
It’s less than that. Sha has struggled in the portal and struggled building a complete balanced roster. He needs help doing so
I did multiple times lol
You keep making it seem like a pro model it’s not really like that
Given a modest budget, SHU was mentioned as a bubble team by many. A whole shutload of teams struggled more than us.
No, I said we’re paying a man for 4-5 months of work that basically anybody could do. Still waiting on what the assistant coaches will be doing. Might as well start paying them per diem for each official practice/game..
I’m 99% sure we have been in contact with players not on our team for months. It’s why guys like Davis and Francis have careers.
I did mention what the assistants do on page one. You have the reading comprehension issue.
He’s already been scouting the potential portal players at his prior job; we all recruit the same kids.
It’s not like he’s not recruiting from an entirely different pool of kids.
He’s just got to bring his thoughts in with what Shaw is looking for and put that together.
Like someone else said, I think it’s most important part of his role is to negotiate with the agents and do the outreach during the season when Shaw has a little something else keeping him busy… Running the team.
Will the GM negotiate with the board of trustees and get the money needed to be for real?? Otherwise what’s the point?? Playing with chump change gets you what??
First order of business, secure Hines. Second, secure Clark. Third, bring in shooters.
My posts you quoted had nothing to do with a GM.
I completely support a GM and have for years.
You need a GM to be able to effectively negotiate and allow Sha to maintain a good coaching bond with the players.
There are many reasons the GM role makes great sense .
I've never been against a GM. I think showing up this late to the party in 2026 is not good for this portal season. What you're responding to has nothing to do with not wanting a GM at all.
Congratulations on one of the most ridiculous posts on this board.
The fact that we hired a GM tells me we are very serious about our program. Any fan should see that. It guarantees nothing but it says our leaders are committed to our program. Very good news IMO.

HallGuy.. Got any more great insights???
Maa
Maybe I am the only one that is confused...but I saw a post about a guy from LSU, a guy from Virginia Tech, and now a guy from West Virginia.
One guy was connected to Willard or something, another was fired in November, another is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Does anyone have the concise, succinct summary of whatever it is that is going on re SHU and a GM type job?
