Earlier this week, the University of Michigan posted a job opening for a Football General Manager position – and it appears as though that position is now filled.

According to a report by Matt Zenitz of 247Sports, Michigan is expected to hire Sean Magee for the role of Senior Associate AD and General Manager for football.

Magee served as the Associate Athletic Director for football at U-M from 2017 to 2022, and has spent the last year as Chief of Staff with the Chicago Bears. According to a report from 247, it looked like Magee was set to take a position with Oklahoma, but Sherrone Moore stepped in and was able to lure him back to Ann Arbor.

Here are some of the job requirements for the position posted by U-M earlier this week:
