The cost of success is losing coaches. With that said, this seems like a lateral move to me. He’s essentially the GM at Texas without the title. 

Not lateral IMO. GM is a bigger title and bigger $$$. It's essentially the Associate AD for Football.

Excuse the ignorance here but who holds that title for Texas football? 

Texas does not have the position of GM at the moment. It was a rather recent adoption for most programs with it.

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. 

I agree with what you have heard/been told. 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.

Gerry, will Sark promote within the department or go outside for new hire?

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

I’m aware that it doesn’t have GM title. I was asking who holds the title of associate AD for football, which Bobby referenced it being essentially the same. Apologies for the confusion.

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.

It was a great promotion for Billy Glasscock. Thank him for his time, hard work, development of a recruiting department and wish good luck at Ole Miss.

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?

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.
