Just so’s I’m caught up with aggy athletics:

football:  jimbo coddled his players and had to go. Elko coaches them hard and that makes them great. He’s the perfect fit. 
 

6 months later 

baseball:  schloss coaches his players too hard and it’s good that he’s gone.  “New coach here” will protect his players and make them great. He’s the perfect fit.

Skip told Aggy to beat it.

No no, A&M never wanted Skip. They feigned interest so he could get a raise at OU and force Texas to pay even more to Schloss. Or something like that. Trevdog is playing 4D slapjack. Advantage: Aggies.

"Skip? This is Trev Al...."

Keeping every player in the portal. Are they just using the buyout money to directly pay these players to stay and save face…and show that they were all true aggies who would never follow that mean ol coach to TU.

So it sounds like they are gonna hire Earley?

That would be absolutely hysterical.

 
 

Huh, you got this take from a ten-year MLB vet on the one hand, and some Karan crying from the mom of an underperforming dwarf on the other. I can’t decide which one to believe.

Trev seems way more corporate and systematic to make a homer move like that. Wake Forrest guy seems way more like his style..

Having been to Sweetwater to call TXHSFB games, I can't imagine why anyone would go there or most towns north of it.

Rattlesnake Round-Ups?

Can confirm, my grandmother lived in Snyder for many years.  Used to drive out that way twice a year as a family to visit from Houston.

Not a lot there but oil wells and tumbleweeds.  Great place to take lots of naps, because there's nothing else to do.

Looch has apparently reported that the Wake Forest coach turned them down is no longer a candidate.

So they're down to Earley, and, well...

I think we can all read between the lines and discern that the unnamed candidates are Dave Roberts, Bruce Bochy, Craig Counsell, Buck Showalter, and Tony LaRussa.  Aaron Boone's buyout is considered to be too large to justify, in spite of Boone's strong interest in College Station.

aggy heroes have always been pussies. 

My favorite Willie Nelson song.

O’Connor, Heefner, Skip, and now Walter. They’re still going to try and convince themselves they wanted Earley from the start. 

The funniest part of all of this is that Trev Alberts will come out of this as some type of folk hero with aggy fans. When reality is this is a next level fuck up to lose a coach like Schloss and then pull off a David Pierce level coaching search where you end up with your 5th or 6th choice as a replacement.

If they hire Earley, there is no way to spin it. They got turned down by every head coach they wanted.

So they hired an assistant with no experience.

Sick burn, aggy.

 

Wonder if trev has a choice of cheap coach and pay players to return, or big name expensive coach and have the players leave.

Bakich and O'Sullivan were likely on their list too, but neither were likely to interview.

It does seem like Early might be the guy that  they try to hire in hopes of keeping a lot of their current players on the roster...

An assistant with no integrity and a burner phone that Schloss forced to the Austin press conference against his will, probably at gunpoint

Posted that on the aggy recruiting page.

WTH?

Weird. Stopper of the yr gonna be giving a lot of money away + he has used 4 yrs of eligibility between Blinn and aggy already. He's older (23), does he qualify for a covid yr?

Kendall and Ryan sticking their finger in the dike (dam not chick).

I mean Alabama is one of the worst SEC jobs there is in baseball. If they can't pull that one off it's pretty bad.

You misread that.

There’s lots of chatter about Ricky Vaughn.

Why would Vaughn leave Bama for aggy unless they money-whipped him severely?

Why does aggy think he's a top candidate after only one year at Bama? Gotta hire another SEC corch?

On the one hand, yes.  On the other hand, is it worth going to work for Scrooge McAlberts and the Helicopter Mom Brigade?

I think the best fit for gomer at this point would be Stuart Smalley.

Yep. What I been sayin'.

Is aggy, esp in its current state, gonna look more attractive to Vaughn than Bama does?

I'm not sure whether they do require caps and sleeves in our new league, so this checks out

Hiring Earley would be incredibly emotional and shortsighted.

Haven't Aggies spent the past 2 years telling us about the gauntlet of the SEC schedule? And they will be happy to roll with a guy with zero HC experience? Sure, he may keep some current portalers, but that isn't how you build a program.

Yea, hiring Earley to “stick it to the sips” would be a bump in the road for us as far as portal players but would be a long term train wreck for them. Doit.gif

Well he does have "feel the team's pain" part down...

If they hire Earley I wonder if Schloss looks at Tulo for that assistant position? I think he was let go because Schloss was bringing in his own Director of Player Development but would he be open to Tulo in another role?

Good question. Reading the Earley to aggy as a possibility I was wondering if he could come back into play as well.

This does bring up one item for our team moving forward. Schloss has been a Wilson guy at TCU and tamu, curious if he brings that brand with him or allows players to use any brand they want. Most of our players have used Rawlings gloves and LS bats in the past, not all but most.

Back to roster building.

Bad Bull you stupid sip!  Jace is an aggy true and true. Doesn’t want to be in the portal, but has no choice!  None of the other 11 in the portal want to leave their dream school either!
