There is a reason most of the P4 programs have GMs now. I'm not sure how Furman does it. I would imagine it's still a lot of our coaches doing the leg work, but hopefully they have some more help than they had a few years ago.
Not only a GM but a payroll department. Clempson built a new building last year just to house their athletic payroll department.
Jordan Sorrells is the Clemson GM with a salary of $390,000.
FUBeAR once had a Career Counseling session with a young Jordan Sorrells who was, at the time, bound and determined to take his talents to the exciting world of Pharmaceutical Sales. FUBeAR convinced him to stay in the Football ‘game’ because that’s where his passions truly were. Seems like he oughta write FUBeAR a check for about 20% of that $390k, don’t it? At least 10%.
I will commit blasphemy here and admit there is a price. I would wear “that paw” and that god awful orange and Barney purple for $390,000 a year. There I said it.
And I would be very, very, excited and very, very, proud to do so.
