Is Brandon Harris a bad person?

There's been multiple examples criticizing Sark losing Glasscock to Ole Miss and that Brandon Harris is a less competent GM.

Cross-posting recent ctj comments on Brandon Harris:

Harris is a laconic yes-man who’s constantly more reactive than proactive. He’s bailed out by a HC who is something of a control-freak when it comes to roster management and oversees in great detail that issue on behalf of Harris - when he has the time. He’s also regularly bailed out by the NIL machine, even as he’s talked shit about it unwittingly to people involved with it. 

The latest experience with this guy was the program being flat-footed on transfer risk coming out of the Cotton Bowl. Everyone was left scrambling when over 30 guys came forward with demands  Unacceptable.

As SC alluded to, not everyone in the coach’s offices thinks he’s the cat’s meow as he’s frequently seen playing favorites. 

Finally, Harris himself is allegedly a leak to OB and probably passed those thoughts on himself in order to ensure it’s part of the dialogue.

Since we're recapping...   Feb 2024

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian responded to last week’s departure of Director of Player Personnel Billy Glasscock to the Ole Miss Rebels as the General Manager for Lane Kiffin by making four promotions on his support staff, the school announced on Tuesday.

 

The headline is the promotion of Brandon Harris into the newly-created General Manager role. Considered a rising star in the industry, Harris was the Director of Recruiting for nearly three years after assuming the role shortly after Sarkisian arrived on the Forty Acres, making enough of an impact that Texas sent him on the recruiting trail following the departure of defensive line coach Bo Davis in January. Harris has been at Texas since 2019 after playing quarterback for LSU and North Carolina and received his previous promotion shortly before interviewing with the Los Angeles Rams for an assistant quarterbacks coach role.

This probably belongs in the Dumb Question Amnesty thread, but do we have Red Zone scripts? 

Probably next to the 2 pt conversion scripts. Sark overthought it and chose poorly. I’m upset that someone on offense didn’t say “hell naw we ain’t running that play pick a new one coach”TIMEOUT”coach give us a different call, ANY DIFFERENT CALL”. Wishful thinking I guess.

Hahahaha! 

This is where we needed Quinn to channel a Major Applewhite attitude and say "Fuck the Toss Sweep, gonna fake the toss and go nekkid Right. Helm, go with me - if I pump, you block, otherwise you better fuckin' catch it..."

Second thought, that might be more Street than Applewhite.

Man, the aggravating thing is Texas could have beat ND last night.

There's a lot of things that could have happened this year. We also could have easily lost to ASU. Its not like we were an unstoppable juggernaut. We lost 3 games to good teams.

Disagree. It should have gone something like this: "Fuckin Sark... Slot left, 25 dive on one. Slot left, 25 dive on one!"

Is Brandon Harris actually any good? I always thought he was just a biddable yes-man who was good enough at his job to keep his job but no better. Was I wrong? And if I’m not, why did we give him a huge raise? Because Sark likes the guy?

Have they recruited well?  Have they been able to largely retain the players they wanted to? Does Brandon Harris have involvement in those aspects?   Yes. 

Do we believe that Sark and CDC are idiots who like rewarding underperforming staff with pay increases? Does anything in their tenure suggest that? Probably not. 

I wonder where your notions came from? If Surly, there's your problem.

What is he responsible for that is lacking? 

Also, if there was ever a time not to rock the boat, it is now. With Arch, Colin Simmons & Anthony Hill, we will have the 3 best players on the field in pretty much all of our games next season. Let's ride this out.

Last night watching the TDs play calls inside the red zone...got damn Sark is an idiot inside the red. Misdirection, trickery? Nope, he gets really stupid conservative at the wrong time. 

I know everyone has already shouted this but it needs to be said every fucking day until the beginning of the season, he really really really really needs to self scout his play calling inside the red zone. What could have been last season and this season...
