Bobby Burton Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 This off-season, Texas is paying the price of winning. Yet another of Steve Sarkisian’s behind-the-scenes employees has left for increased responsibilities elsewhere. Bobby Merritt, who was responsible for breaking down opposing film and evaluating prospects in the portal for the Horns in 2023, has been hired by Rice University as its new general manager. The move has yet to be announced publicly but Merritt started with Rice on Friday. Merritt’s former boss at Texas, Billy Glasscock who was the director of player personnel for the Horns, left in January to become the General Manager for Ole Miss. That’s the price of winning. People will move up and get more responsibilities at other places. View full news 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can help out too, if needed. I've watched a lot of football. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Gilbert Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 This is just another sign that the Longhorn program is on the right track. Our appearance in the playoffs, three years of top 10 recruiting classes, losing coaches to promotions (especially head coaching positions), front office types being sought after, and the success the Horns had at the Combine. TCU made the Championship game a few seasons ago but could not continue that success. In other words it was a one season fluke. It is a great time to be a Horn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
