Does his dad come as consultant?

Was this Muir's idea? (Don't laugh).  Feels like someone succumbed to pressure, or is this just a hands in the air surrender to move blame from the institution to Luck if the program does not improve?

In Luck's interviews, he has described Levin as first raising the possibility with him.

I applaud our alma m. for pioneering this move. (If not the first, at least one of the first, and seemingly taking it to a new level)
Yes, of course, it may not work. Or it may kinda work but not as much as hoped for.
But as others have pointed out, what is to lose? Go 2-10 next year instead of 3-9?
What seems appropriate to me about it is that the college football landscape is so much more complicated these days than ever.
Between the wild west transfer portal and NIL and ever changing NCAA rules and unknown congressional action and unknown court decisions yet to drop,
how could you expect either a head football coach, or an AD who's in charge of a multitude of sports,
to have the overwhelming focus and hard work that is needed just on obtaining and holding onto a competitive football roster?
Not to even get started about the work towards rebuilding the fan base.
Wishing AL well and with acknowledgement of what a challenge lies ahead.

Many schools have football general managers but all of the previous ones I am aware of work for the head coach, rahter than vice versa.
