Amazing how someone can turn a 15 second clip into a character evaluation.
I played for Coach Glasco both collegiately and professionally. I’d run through a wall for him all over again.
He cared about us.
He showed up for us as people.
Sure he taught me how to be a great hitter, but coaching is more than skills & strategy. It carries life lessons.
This is a man who was patient with me while recovering from an injury that kept me off the field. It wasn’t my best decision, but he understood.
This is a man who made sure I had somewhere to go for Thanksgiving while I recovered from knee surgery & couldn’t be with my family.
He coaches hard. Holds you accountable. But that’s what all great coaches do.
You can debate strategy all you want.
But questioning his character, our how much he cares about his athletes is a battle you will lose with anyone who’s actually played for him.
1. Craig Snider resigned on June 9, 2024
2. Glasco was hired on June 20, 2024
3. Texas Tech had 3 girls on the roster when he arrived
4. He brought 4 girls from Louisiana with him who he recruited out of HS.
5. It was late June. HS recruiting was over
So… what should Tech have done for the 2025 season? Not field a team and then go to HS recruiting so they could have a team for 2026 and everyone in the softball universe feels better?
Fact is, he had to build a roster. We have invested donors and one was a member of our softball team in the early 2000’s. He used those resources to put a team together.
Every team in every sport at every university uses the portal to put together the best team possible that they can assemble. He took a badass pitcher and a rag tag team who could small ball the hell out of you to the final game of the season. Maybe just maybe, he’s a good coach.
I love how Coach Signetti is allowed to show up to the worst football program in college football history. Like 134 years and 13 bowl appearances. Flips an entire roster, makes the playoff, the next year wins the whole damn thing and he is absolutely praised for it. Gets $13 million a year for it. Has donors like Mark Freaking Cuban. But since they are Big 10, it’s allowed.
But little ole Texas Tech needs to remember its place in this world and shouldn’t be doing this at all so the blue bloods feel good at the end of the day.
Oh and not embracing it? 😂 we have put literal pump jacks on campus. Our GM for football tweets out “stay mad, buy gas”. Our students hold up signs saying “we love oil money”
We know exactly who the hell we are. We were the school punched down on for years…. And now it’s not fun for everyone else when the rabbit has the gun.
