Texas Names Harris GM

This is what I wrote on Monday:

I continue to be told that both Brandon Harris, currently the director of recruiting, and John Michael Jones, the assistant director of player personnel, are expected to be elevated.

Harris is likely to become the team’s general manager or whatever terminology Steve Sarkisian opts to call it, a role which was expected to be held by Billy Glasscock prior to his move to Ole Miss last week. Harris has been a steady, trusted force in the recruiting department for the Longhorns under Sark.

Jones is expected to become the director of player personnel. Jones has been a behind-the-scenes figure for Texas for several years. The team’s successful walk-on program can be partially attributed to his efforts beginning several years ago.

Good scoop Bobby.  What is your opinion of the news?

Where is the old LBJ coach in the hierarchy?

So exactly what is Sereals doing now? I hope this works just not sure yet or who was out there to  one in if you didn't stay in house. Time will tell. Still we took a hit on losing some coaches and analysts etc. Way things work these days.

I assume still HS Director of Relations. Haven't heard much about him on any site. I like him and know guys I coached with at one time that like him. But was never sure how he got the job without serious ties to Dallas or Houston area. Still kinda shaking my head on that , but Gilbert was gonna be tough to replace. Time will tell I guess.

He’s the director of high school relations. Not within the recruiting staffing section.

There may be a bit of a re-org here.

I think Sark trusts Brandon Harris and he now has him as the leader of that entire function.

But Sark is the alpha. He’s not going to hire an equal as a GM. That’s just not his vision for Texas football, and you can’t really blame him. He just went to the CFP using his structure.

She’s done a nice job IMO. I hear lots of positive reviews and she’s done a nice job of hiring as well.
