With that said, this seems like a lateral move to me. He’s essentially the GM at Texas without the title. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 So far Sark has been fantastic at replacing people that have left. I would think that’ll continue here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's essentially the Associate AD for Football. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Strayhorn Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Seems with all the added eval and recruitment these days and added retention efforts from NIL. How can front office/scouting departments not be the next big area for teams to fill out with as robust a staff as possible.

closetojumping Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Some folks are already painting this as a positive for Texas. I'm pretty surprised by that, given everything I've heard about what Glasscock has helped enable over the past recruiting & transfer cycle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas does not have the position of GM at the moment. It was a rather recent adoption for most programs with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Glasscock did a tremendous job at Texas. From organization to evaluation/bringing guys to the coaches, etc... was so well-rounded in his role. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry, will Sark promote within the department or go outside for new hire? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Sark takes a broader look at the organization and decides that a GM is an inevitable step. Perhaps it is time to use this misfortune and make larger changes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asking who holds the title of associate AD for football, which Bobby referenced it being essentially the same. Apologies for the confusion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Blank is the Texas Football Chief of Staff is the closest position to being Associate AD for Football.

It's good info, but he's not really involved with the things that are fundamental to what we'd like to see in a GM role. NIL + roster management, personnel evaluations, etc. Regardless of how all of this ultimately gets spun, this was a surprise move. There was some important stuff being worked with Glasscock lately. Like, really lately, and now he's thrown a smokebomb and disappeared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank him for his time, hard work, development of a recruiting department and wish good luck at Ole Miss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Strayhorn Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 any chance this has a ripple effect?? meaning Glasscock possibly has a few people follow him over as he defines a new department?? Is that even a worry? How valuable is the "scouting dept" or is that more of a first line of defense and real looks and decisions being made by coaches? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Gilbert Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I have heard people (from several websites and YouTube channels) mention Glasscock as being a key piece of Texas recruiting for three years. However, given Sark’s ability to replace on field coaches with better ones, I fully believe he will hit a home run with Glasscock’s replacement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLonghorns Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 Any chance Sark goes after Oregons Marshall Malchow? Would be a home run hire as a GM imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Burton Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I don’t think Sark is going in that direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
