    I hear this drumbeat constantly on the boards, ESPN, and XM 84. It blows my mind. Nick Saban leveraged a huge competitive advantage to achieve greatness. He had an amazing bag game infrastructure at Bama and had built one before that at LSU. There were 8-10 schools that operated within that closed game, as they were willing to cheat with impunity, and that led the majority of the national titles following the Texas title in 2005. The minute that structure was torn asunder by everyone suddenly being able to participate with paying players for NIL, and Saban realized that there was no more blood to squeeze from the stone from his alumni base or congress, he quit. Now people want that guy to oversee the future of college football? At 72? Nope. No thanks.

    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.

    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.
