Bobby Burton Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Texas Director of Player Personnel Billy Glasscock has reportedly accepted the General Manager's role at Ole Miss for Rebels' coach Lane Kiffin. Glassclock, a successsful former recruiting coordinator and player personnel head for both Minnesota and North Carolina State, was one of Steve Sarkisian's first hires in Austin. Glasscock helped oversee three consecutive top three recruiting classes for the Longhorns. I am told to expect to see some restructuring in the Texas personnel department as part of this move.

liveattheoasis Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I'm guessing Lane and Steve discussed this and came to an agreement. They're sending 2 diamond in the rough Mississippi DTs (Players to be Named) and Dear for Glasscock. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinadoll10 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 LK wouldn’t just pull the rug from Sark right? There had to have been multiple conversations and a succession plan is already in place. Right? Tell me how to feel Bobbby!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePeteJ Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I trust that CDC & Sark will do an upgrade at the position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Eneman Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I wonder what the backstory is here. Just $, difference of opinion or if he views this move as a promotion? Interested to see where Sark goes from here. It will definitely be someone I've never heard of or never considered based on his last few hires. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, I suspect two people to move up as a result: Brandon Harris and Jon Michael Jones. Second, Sark has been looking at restructuring some things on that end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear, I was a tad worried we might lose others as well.(like Harris) Is this Ole Miss making an effort to find ways into Texas or more they just like his resume?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re different. GM typically has more control and input on things like overall strategy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtBlaw Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Like the move if it gets stuff off Sark’s plate. Wasn’t pumped when first heard we were hiring such an important position from NC State (purely based on snobbery). But Glasscock seemed adequate. Honestly, he might’ve been terrible I have no insight. Hoping this is for an upgrade. Or to separate high school recruiting from portal recruiting and hire additional personnel.
