[The_Philster]

Erick Santiago (Rochester, NY): Thank you for taking time in reading my question and congrats on the win Sunday. My question: How does someone become a GM for a professional sports team? What process do they go through, like school, experience, etc?

Tom Donahoe: There really is no specific training to do a general manger's job. It is not something that you can study in college and most of it is really based on experience. Possibly an internship with a professional football team would give someone a good start. Being on the road as a scout and looking at personnel helps as does any business experience that you can acquire, with regard to football. more (http://www.buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=3439)

Mr. Cynical (NY, NY): How do you keep fielding non-playoff teams for 7 straight seasons and yet manage to stay employed?

Tom Donahoe: There really is no specific answer to that question other than to say that do a good job of spiking the Kool-Aid. It is not something that you can study in college and most of it is really based on experience. Possibly an internship with a Scientology center would give someone a good start. Being on the road as a cultist and looking for gullible personnel helps as does any business experience that you can acquire, with regard to brainwashing people.
