How does one become an NFL General Manager?

The Philadelphia Eagles torture me consistently on a weekly basis with their incompetence. I think it's time for me to step in.

I applaud your enthusiasm to help those in need. The job track to pro sport General Manager seems to follow two paths- former players and former coaches. So first, you should become one of those. Organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry has an interesting article on how GMs are developed. Check it out at: www.kornferry.com/institute/great-gms-are-made-not-born

Don't do that. Become a doctor and fix Desean Jackson. (Response to: How do I become an NFL GM?) — Don’t do that. Become a doctor and fix Desean Jackson.

Not possible, doctor harder to do. Wall, My question still stands.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
