Schlossed and confused: When panic leads to an Earley hire

Featured Replies

aggy is in a world of shit now and for the rest of this decade.

  • Ross Bjork helped when he was told to send Jimbo along his way with an IOU until 2030. Bjork did the honorable thing and got the hell out of that sinking ship.
  • Alberts has to come in and start whacking people to help with budget cuts.
  • Olsen field stadium improvements were promised to begin in June of 2024, fat chance. Now the promise of $80,000,000.00 is to occur between 2025-29, in a pigs eye. They're going to need that loot for something else. They may be able to do some cosmetic or fan amenities improvement. A full scale expansion is going to use it all and then some. I may have these two items reversed as aggy does like to build thing regardless of what may be logical.
  • Their coaching search is coming up empty as any level headed coach can see that if Coach Schloss and CWS final couldn't make a stand there, why take a chance. Meanwhile, AD Alberts is going around talking about budget cuts and firing people. For a splash hire aggy going to need some of that improvement money.
  • I don't know, but if I were a big money donor and seeing all these dollars going to this clown show, I would be discouraged and unenthusiastic about continuing contributions, "fuck it".

For all their bragging and blustering, aggy is broke and needs to stop with the spending. My first semester at UT, a statics professor defined an Engineer, "To do with one dollar what any Aggie can do with two." 

Enjoying this shit show during this slow sports summer!

Earley to aggy as head coach would be a great move for him. The more aggy strikes out on coaches, the more he can demand. Be the big splash aggy wants as a "Take that Texas" but he gets some of that improvement money. I'm talking he needs to be in top 5 of head coach money for this crap. I think he can get it.

He also keeps his young family at current location for another 5 years minimum. He eliminates the never been a head coach tag. If things don't work out the kids will be old enough to move elsewhere and he's built a better resume and bank account. He's young and can recover from almost any disaster at that place. Hell, he may even win something.

Now they all think they are waiting to announce it to take thunder away from us joining the SEC.  Lol.  Clowns.  Even if they did it for that reason, nobody would care.  Especially if it ends up being Earley.  "Hey we got you good, we stole our old coaches' assistant from you.  Hahahaha"

Don’t let certain 2b mom’s or Pitcher dad’s see this Augie video.  

I just sent this to my sons. The part about how focus and intensity and being your best translates to everything in life is so FUCKING IT. Told my boys I’m demanding of you because I love you and I said if I could say it better I would say it like Augie but not so mad. Augie is probably one of my top 3 (maybe all time top) for sage life advice through the analogy of sports. 

Btw where is that clip from? Isn’t there a doc about Augie or am I making that up?

BREAKING: Michael Earley is set to be hired as the next head coach of Texas A&M baseball ⚾️👍 https://t.co/qWF9Cnz8uc

I think this was a situation where plan A (hire a top coach, the guy Texas would have hired if they couldn’t get Schlossnagle) failed, so they had to go to plan B (try for continuity with his assistant). 
 
Question - was Earley Schloss’ top assistant?

Note- these hires can and have worked, although the successes have almost exclusively been when the departing coach set it up for his top lieutenant, and gave his blessing.

No, Cain was and is Schloss' associate head coach. 

From what I've read, Earley is the "good cop" who all the aggy players like and leaned on after Schloss hurt their pussy feelings. As their hitting coach, you can make the argument he was the #3 assistant behind Weiner.

This coaching hire is going to go over extremely well with current, former, and future players. @earleybaseball cares about his guys and those guys care about him. I expect the reaction and ripple of this decision to be felt throughout the #12thMan and the baseball world.

Is this another situation in which Texags told the a&m athletic department what to do?

With Olin’s article about Dabo being an assistant that did good, I think that was a hint from Trev that they couldn’t get or afford a top tier coach. IMO

It always cracked me up when professors would take shots at A&M, doing it in a most professional/collegial manner.

We had a decision/risk professor who'd say, "...so you tell Mr. Smith you're going to model the risk/uncertainty by building probability distributions into the pro forma and then running a Monte Carlo simulation to approximate the outcomes...of course, he went to A&M, so he doesn't know what you're talking about...but anyway..."

With today’s kids you kinda need that though.

Don’t give a fuck about that I meant for Texas make sure you got the care bear on the staff too. To be clear I think that’s horseshit. But hey, kids these days. They need hugs and shout outs for their mom’s shitty title company.

The fact this guy has so much pull in Collie Station is why they are the Titanic about to hit the iceberg right now.  Or have they already hit it and the ship is sinking but they don’t know it yet?

Interviews went great. Investigations went great. He was forced to leave, he really didn’t want to leave for the same job title. He’ll provide crucial testimony in the burner phone case

Agreed

I think all assistant coaches fill that role at one time or another.

Good for aggy.

If this keeps their core group of players at A&M, it will be a good short-term fix. Plus, he comes cheap.

You thought you stole our entire coaching staff but we actually kept our #3 assistant by promoting him to a role he's entirely unqualified for because we don't have the money to pull a proven guy, you stupid sip

I used to do this bit at UT where I'd bitch about the way Wall Street does outdated shit, such as not moving to decimal pricing until 1999, and I'd finish with, "If you took every single organization in the world and ranked them on how beholden they were to stupid traditions, Wall Street would rank #2" and just leave it at that.  Someone would eventually ask who was #1, and I'd look down and quietly say, "Texas A&M" and the room would just roar.

Who's gonna file the FOIA requests??? Did Earley use his new, UT-issued cell phone to consummate this deal???

Lawyers?

And he has more job security than any coach in the country because they cannot afford to fire him.

So does that mean we're keeping Tulo?

I'm not sure if he desires to be an on-field assistant and I'm also not sure if Schlossnagle would green light someone as an on-field assistant who has never recruited off campus.

It didn't matter who they hired, it would be a big coup.

Yeah it's a fantastic gig for him, as long as he can put up with all the extracurricular ag crap.  Some coaches are better than others at doing it.  But ultimately, that's what the money's for.

Interesting move here for the #Aggies. Michael Earley is really good but this is most certainly a gamble for A&M. Will keep the roster together, but staff hires will be crucial to say the least. https://t.co/bifomQbxIi

So for a program who claims they have surpassed Texas even though they have no national championships, they had to hire an #3 assistant coach instead of a proven sitting P4 head coach?

 

They sure pivoted hard from GETTING OCONNOR/VITELLO/HEEFNER/SKIP to this. None of those guys wanted to go to aggy, work for Alberts or do the stupid bullshit aggy traditions

I'm really interested to see if Reveille and Earley have a natural bond and if Earley willingly reaches out. Reveille is a huge part of our university and our athletics programs so if she has an instant affinity for Coach Earley, I think that will speak volumes to our recruits. If anyone could, please take and post video of their initial encounter. Any still shots of Coach Earley petting Rev would also be appreciated - would prefer if taken from side so I can see as much as possible of both their faces.

Paid a lot of money to keep this years team mostly together probably but long term….  We will see.  

The thing about texags narratives is that they often don't pan out.  We'll see how many guys actually stick around.

I would expect former @TexasBaseball assistant Caleb Longley to end up on Michael Earley's staff at @AggieBaseball. Another spot is expected to be a Power 5 head coach.
