After months of promising major changes to its personnel operation, USC has hired a general manager for its football program.
Chad Bowden will be USC’s next general manager, a person familiar with the decision not authorized to speak publicly told The Times, after spending the previous three years at Notre Dame.
Bowden, 30, had only just been named general manager and assistant athletic director with the Irish less than a year ago. That promotion came in March after Michigan pursued Bowden for its open general manager job. Notre Dame proceeded to make a run to the final of the College Football Playoff, where it fell Monday to Ohio State.
