Coaching Career

  • Rob Glass is in his fifth year as assistant athletic director for speed, strength and conditioning at his alma mater.
  • Glass, one of the most recognized and preeminent strength and conditioning experts in college athletics, returned to OSU after a 10-year stint at Florida. Glass first worked for the Cowboys as both a football graduate assistant coach and strength coach from 1986-95 and his current tenure brings his total to 14 years at Oklahoma State.
  • During his 24-year career, Glass has worked with two Heisman Trophy winners (Barry Sanders and Danny Wuerffel), a Golden Spikes Award winner (Robin Ventura), a Thorpe Award winner (Lawrence Wright) and a Ray Guy Award winner (Matt Fodge) in addition to 15 first-round NFL draft picks and three first-round NBA draft picks as well as countless All-Americans and Olympians.
  • After earning his bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State in 1984, Glass served on Pat Jones' football staff as a graduate assistant coach. He was named head strength coach at OSU in 1989 and served in that capacity until 1995, when he accepted a position as coordinator of strength and conditioning at Florida. He became Florida's director of strength and conditioning in 1998.

  • Glass has been associated with 15 bowl teams since 1987, including the Sun, Holiday, Independence and Insight Bowls at Oklahoma State, and 10 bowls at Florida, including the 1996 Fiesta Bowl, two Orange Bowls and two Sugar Bowls. He was at Florida for a national championship and worked with two Gator squads that played in the national title game. He worked with four UF teams that played in the SEC championship game.
  • At Oklahoma State, Glass was instrumental in the development of All-Americans Barry Sanders, Thurman Thomas, Jason Gildon, Keith Burns, Dez Bryant and Kendall Hunter and 2008 first-round draft pick Brandon Pettigrew.
