He drove all the way from College Station to ask "what would you say to the fans that have the sads?" Hard-hitting question there, Olin.

The post-game presser question - and the answer - is being beaten to death without rational responses... thinkable ones, but not rational.

Here's the deal: it is absolutely to be expected that such a question will be asked in such a situation. No problem with it being asked.

The best answer would have been a form of Lincoln Rileyesque lying-by-truthing, something like "Gentlemen - and Ladies - I tell you, unequivocally, that there is no truth to the rumor that Coach Vitello is going to Austin and I am going to Knoxville. I have neither the desire nor the intention of going to Knoxville. That's all I'm going to say about that. Ask me about the game we just played."

I don't fault Coach for the actual answer - even if his heart was on its way to Austin, I am certain that his mind was completely on the game, and aggy or not it was a devastating loss... hard to be angry with Coach for still being wrapped up in it less than an hour later.

Strongly imply that you are about to start some shit.  End up asking the weakest question imaginable with a quivering voice.

The aggy way.

Schloss just said he had a specific buyout specifically for Texas in his contract. Holy shit l did not know that lol

So from the very fucking beginning Schloss was upfront with aggy about his desire to be at Texas.

Let's see if you stick to your word/plans with as much integrity as you expect from a college coach.

WHAT I NEED IS A GOD DAMNED BASEBALL SCHEDULE

I have yet to see anyone explain the acceptable way to answer the question at the press conference.
"Thanks for the question. This will be my last game at Texas A&M, I will be accepting the Texas job tomorrow." - WHY IS HE MAKING A TOUGH NIGHT EVEN WORSE
"Tonight should be about the team and that is all I will discuss for now." - HE'S OBVIOUSLY HIDING SOMETHING, WHY ISN'T HE BEING HONEST
"No, I have no intention to pursue other opportunities" - LYING BASTARD
He was a little ruder than probably necessary (although understandable, given he just lost the CWS) but there's no acceptable answer to that question, given what was already transpiring behind the scenes.

It was an inappropriate question (it usually is). Hey you about to leave!? You about to quit your job?

An easy deflection “We’re not worried about contracts and transfers right now. Its been a long year and Im proud of our team. Even though we’re bitterly disappointed with the loss”

That's why it's a gotcha question. "HE DIDN'T SAY HE WASN'T GOING TO LEAVE! HE'S SO LEAVING!" There really isn't anything you can say that won't come with you catching some shit. But you gotta play nice about it? Fuck those self-important assholes.

So you'll be waiting about 5 months for the whole thing.  The SEC is probably still finalizing the conf schedule, but you know we playing @ aggy.

Scloss said we are playing them in Austin next year.

The only answer is to say "I'm not going to talk about anything other than the game and players tonight" and just keep saying that. yes, everyone is going to assume that means you gone but only "I will be the head coach at Texas A&M next season" is going to make them assume anything else.

I like to think of the great orator Marshawneus Lynchateus "I'm just here so I don't get fined."

If this is true, too damn funny.  That is also the reason you heard nothing from aggy AD.  They signed him up knowing he could bolt whenever he wanted but the dipshit fanbase never asked or looked to see if there were any exceptions to the standard buyout.  Is the contract public?

Kendall Rogers is saying this all started before the regional. 

What happens if Texas wins the College Station regional? I know what ifs are dumb but that would have been interesting. 

Man, this is all so fucking good, but there is close to zero chance I'll ever be able to read it all.

That would have been the greatest thing ever to see how texags covered it.

This has been reported before. I think the clause actually provided for a different buyout if he left for another in-state school, but it's pretty obvious who they had in mind.

I have no problem with the question being asked. I Schloss should’ve simply said he was there to discuss this aggy team and the game they just played and nothing more. Add in that he owes them that and that’s inappropriate to discuss himself in that context. Next question. Glad he apologized today, though.

got it.  so aggy wants to sign schloss, schloss says I need an out for Texas.  aggy of course bows and says gonna cost a little more but we need to say "in state school" so we don't look like the little bitches we are and because our SW won't allow us to type "The University of Texas" into the contract.

I contend that Bohls had the story for several weeks and wanted to break it, but CDC told AAS to hold off.  Bohls then took it to the Chronicle which leans more aggy and used it to ink a contract with them.  If Z prick or any other Chronicle contributor had broke it, it wouldn't have gotten the attention that it did coming from Bohls.  Schloss was probably more upset about it being leaked than the actual question.

They have more than enough grackles to suffice.  Not crows, but close enough.

I love the irony of that clause in Schloss' contract.

"You owe us a bunch of money if you do to us what you just did to TCU."

I'm just incredibly impressed that they have one of these newfangled buyout clauses in this coach's contract.

I will never understand why coaches aren't pre-programmed to just say "I do not comment about my job status.  That is between me and my employer."  Repeat as necessary.

I heard it was the Cardinals.

It was UTRGV. Sleeping giant 

It was SFA. He didn’t know which system would eventually buy them. Unfortunately for Schloss they moved on to a different coach

I will say this, if he is as only as good as Pierce was here then he's going to implode like the little bitch he appears to be.

Who tha fook is that guy?/ c mcgregor

Ok cool, hookem
