Saban's ex staff has to be a good place to start looking for his replacement.

From Bobby:

I am told to expect to see some restructuring in the Texas personnel department as part of this move.

Wonder if we might be adding a GM-type role too?

Was just going to ask - I don't think we have that title, but Glasscock was essentially that, no? 

In the NFL you generally have a Director of Pro Personnel and a Director of College Scouting who roll up to the General Manager.  Is the new way of college football to have a High School Recruiting and a College/Transfer Portal guy who roll up to a General Manager?

Damn.  This one hurts. 

I'm curious why we couldn't or wouldn't match their offer.

The glass dick?

Sorry, couldn't help it. But yeah this sucks. Do we even have a GM? Seems odd that he'd leave

I'm guessing that the GM role has more responsibilites and a pay raise, and it wasn't as simple as matching the offer. That's what my non-informed gut says here.

And often you can't restructure until a change is made in an organization of size, so maybe Sark is using this blow to force a restructing in our favor. That's my pure sunshine take on this, which is probably nowhere near to reality.

Damn, ok Lane. As said above, would be curious what went down there.

Reeks of a cushy landing spot, though I know Glasscock has been pretty valuable. Bobby's notes give credence to that as well

I have a hard time seeing that guy move from Texas to Ole Miss without there being another reason behind it.

Sucks because he was good in that role, but we’ll be fine.

Are there pics of Glasscock's wife that we can make fun of?

Who was the guy at South Carolina (?) that Sark originally wanted for that spot?  Maybe cycles back?  Never a better time to ask than right after a playoff appearance and shit is rolling.

Drew Hughes. He was named in all the stuff that went down at Tennessee under Pruitt and got a show-cause. That would likely never get through compliance.

No, but do we even need a compliance department anymore?   It seems like nothing is enforceable.   Just threaten an anti-trust suit.  Eventually we will have unlimited eligibility, mid-season transfers, and guys who were cut from the NFL coming back to play college.

Yes, compliance is helpful. No, Hughes would never get through compliance. No, some things are enforceable. 

I never heard of Glasscock until about a month ago, but I'm pretty sure we are now doomed.

 

j/k  Sucks to lose someone in Belmont who was good at their job and added value (considering how much waste like Plonsky and most of her reports).  Hope Sark hires the best replacement possible.

Glasscock's talent evaluation and recruiting skills confirmed.  Wood.

Sark needs Photoshop so he can put "My toxic trait is trusting the wrong people" over a picture of a chick doing yoga at sunset. FB divorcee vibes.

I went to a couple BC games and don't remember the stadium being awful. It was cold and I was drunk of course.

It's not awful at all, it's not very large, but not awful.

Always thought Billy's parents should have named him "tempered", but maybe that's just me.

There is no place on this board or in life general for this. Remember folks, recruits read this board as well.

Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but the average age on this board is probably 50.  If a teenager is reading it’s purely out of old people mockery or out of curiosity to read what weird old people talk about.   
 

You know who does think teenagers, particularly blue chip football players, hang on their every word?  TexAgs.

Not too concerned about the energetic and connecting with the yutes part, it's when Dad or an uncle (always an uncle) or even the recruit themselves compare Bakers resume against other D-line coaches that concerns me. We just lost the guy that already has a few DT's in the NFL and possibly two first rounders this upcoming draft...but he's using that to recruit to swamp tigah now.

Should we just fold up shop and go home then? Losing Davis was always going to be an uphill battle for this next cycle. No shit Davis has skins on the wall that his replacement doesn’t. 

Last few pages of this thread are fucking ridiculous.  Shit is getting worse than the football board.

If he's all that ("sources" giving him part credit for the dolphins dts) and alfred collins and co hold up to the run and get a bunch of sacks from the interior .... recruiting should get easier in the fall....

Just concerned is all. Maybe Baker becomes a D-line master and recruiting witch, but it's all pretty unknown at the moment.
