CDC wouldn’t have done it today if there was any chance it would jeopardize the Schloss deal

Or is this Kurt’s last fuck you to the AD as a member of the press?

Is bakich worth 3.5 a year?   Is he a guy that would reset the market?

Well, there's also the possibility that the $3.5M rumor is utter horseshit.

Possibly.  That number would make sense for the two tonight though.  

Yep, I'd give $3.5m to either of them.  I would not give it to anyone else that we could possibly hire. 

We are going to add $20m to our annual revenue from the SEC TV money.  Fuck yeah, let's reset the market.  We can afford it.

Heard Schloss required a train outside the fence and a lifetime supply of bubbles.  I’m depressed we couldn’t meet the demands to have an atmosphere that awesome.

#1209

I suspect the whole commitment is going to matter to either of those guys -- salary, NIL, facilities upgrades.  We can match any school on salary, that's trivial.  Not that we'd go crazy, I can imagine just pushing A&M into the Jimbosphere just to fuck with them.  NIL, I don't know how that plays out between the 3 schools.  Facilities, it's been a while for DF, surely we're up for making it a better environment, particularly since we're behind the top SEC attendance figures.

Some call it Amtrack but Schloss calls it the train

And I'd double whatever they currently have for assistants

I still can't imagine a coach winning a NC and immediately leaving for their bitter rival. That would be wild. Even ignoring the rival part, when was the last time a Big 3 sport HC left after winning a national title (excluding pro jobs). I can't think of a single time.

I wouldn't be surprised if CDC is doing his buddy a solid at ATM's expense and giving Schloss max negotiating leverage.

Also, supposedly Schloss has really been pushing for facilities upgrades at ATM so I suspect that would be a big factor in all this. 

#1213

@derpyhorndog can you confirm the flight part? No idea who this guy is, probably full of shit, but we should be able to confirm the plane/flight plan.

MASSIVE NEWS DUMP!!!Sources in Austin confirm that only hours after Texas AD Del Conte fired Coach Pierce, the university plane registered a flight to Omaha this afternoon. Del Conte told his staff he’s not coming back to Austin without Texas A&M coach Jim Schlossnagle.

Not immediate, but Augie won the CWS in 1995, and we hired him in 1997.

Both coaches have offers on the table, which are:

One offer states unlimited Tacos at Torchys

The other offer is unlimited beard trims and facials. 

It boils down to who agrees to the terms first. Deadline is the final out of today’s game

Yeah but CSF was not our rival. 

 

If it turns out to be Schloss then this will go down as one of the best dick-slap power moves that UT has ever pulled on those rubes.

He’s not a good coach and would be a massive mistake hire. Lucked into one deep CWS run with Michigan in 2019 and has been riding that success ever since.

Well, there ya go! It's Backich and he'll win four titles here.

It would be. I can't think of anything else that would come close.

Which is why I have a hard time believing it's going to happen. But . . .

I expect the Horns to move quickly on a homerun hire. A few names to watch for the Texas job: Erik Bakich Rob Vaugh David Esquer. The elephant in the room is Jim Schlossnagle, I doubt he takes the job, but I should say it’s not zero like most Aggie brass think.
#1231

He was just named AD of the year by Sports Business Journal. 
About to be crowned AD of the millennium. Going way back like before Christ and dinosaurs walked the earth.

He can't even spell the last names of his candidates correctly.

Schloss: "Well, Texas...."

aggy: "We'll give you ten million a year for ten years, fully guaranteed, no buyout!!!"

Schloss "I was going to say 'was disappointed I told them no', but thanks for the raise."

I don't understand the claims of a stale atmosphere, especially getting into the warmer months and conference schedule. Friday nights are my favorite atmosphere of any of our sports. Intelligent baseball fans that understand the game and get up for the situation, and the situations definitely sometimes call for rowdiness. Not sure what the expectation is; it's baseball. 

Yeah I thought that was a weird complaint too. I go for the baseball, not the bullshit they do for the casual fan.

Of all of the stuff that has been flying around lately, $3.5M/year is the one I find the least believable. Unless that is truly what it would take to get Schlossnagle, there's no reason to go anywhere close to that.
