According to multiple reports, Mike Martin of the Detroit Lions will be the new general manager of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team.
This hiring comes after a lengthy and public pursuit of Jame Blanchard from Texas Tech, which ultimately did not work out.
Martin’s background and experience are not as well-known to some, but his involvement in the Detroit Lions’ improvement over the past four years is a notable factor in his hiring.
It appears that Notre Dame will be supplementing the general manager position with additional staff to enhance scouting and player development.
Martin’s hiring represents a different direction for the team, differing from the potential retention of Chad Bowden or the hiring of James Blanchard.
