Bowden played a huge role in reshaping Notre Dame's approach to talent acquisition. Can he do the same at USC?

As Chad Bowden seeks to put his stamp on USC football in his new role as Lincoln Riley's general manager, Bowden is poised to bring a familiar face from Notre Dame with him to the West Coast. Multiple sources tell FootballScoop Wednesday that Bowden is hiring away Notre Dame Director of Player Personnel Zaire Turner into a key role of similar stature within the USC Trojans program.

“Notre Dame is targeting Texas Tech’s James Blanchard for its new general manager position, sources tell me and @TomLoy247 for @CBSSports/@247Sports,” Matt Zenitz said in a post. “At Texas Tech, Blanchard has become of the nation’s most respected college front office figures.”
