Olin (OB) and his moderator can't keep from criticism of Schloss this morning on TexAgs...

OB ripping Brian Davis for his posts about Schloss -- then admits Brian Davis made him mad in the past, but claims they're friends.  Says Schloss "went to Snook cemetery where the truth goes to die" 😋

Dumbasses should be focused on new Coach and moving on, but they can't help themselves... 😂😂😂 

 

 

They just confirmed aggy new pitching coach

What a coup.  The premier SEC program in Brazos County plucked a sitting P5 head coach to be an assistant coach.

But it’s wrong to steal other team’s coaches!!!!!!!! They just tried to do that at UVA, Wake, DBU, Tennessee, OU though. Doesn’t count

Aggy catering going bankrupt 

Introductory press conference for the new Aggie pitching coach will be held at 2402 Texas Ave S, College Station, TX 77840

Why the fuck would anybody step down as HC of a P4 baseball program - after only 2 years - to live in Collie Station and coach aggy pitchers? This guy has gotta have a screw loose. I know it's only Washington, but even Augie sucked it up at Illinois for 3 years.

Now Earley has a babysitter.

Name me one school a $77 million buyout wouldn't fuck over. If there is one, it ain't aggy. 

They just keep saying, "well, it's donor oil money, so $77M is pocket change to big aggy donors."  They really believe this stuff.

 travel with big 10 schedule would suck much ass for one. I’d imagine a quicker ascension to low level sec school head job than coming from a pacific nw school (our new conference mates are not bright)

Not just travel but B1G baseball is just so awful. 

Not to mention he won't last more than another year or two at UW. He's cutting bait now to avoid getting fired. This (second in line at a good SEC program) is probably a better position than what he'd secure after being fired.

Good point

Travel for baseball on the West Coast is much more desirable. The B1G baseball schedule is shaping up to be a nightmare and clusterfuck. I guess that held no appeal to Kelly, but whatever. He didn't exactly burn it up at UW.

He was getting fired after this season - he's a bad head coach.

1.  He has been there two years.  First year was good (made regionals, went 1-2), this year was a disaster.  

2.  I believe I saw that his salary as HC was $278K, which is shit in Seattle.  He'll make more than that in B/CS.  

3.  He's on his 3rd athletic director in 2 years, which can't help job security, especially combined with #1.  

4.  The world is loaded with guys who are great assistants and terrible head coaches.  He's another one.  

5.  No one gives a shit about UW baseball.  I went to the Husky forum earlier today to see the reaction, and literally no one had commented on it.

I hope that UW makes a better hire than aggy just to see texags explode with excuses and rationalizations.

They won't.  They'll try to hire a former Mariner who has never coached college baseball.  Dan Wilson was one of the top candidates last time.  They probably dream of pulling Willie Bloomquist out of ASU.

It's kind of like OU, where softball completely overshadows baseball.

You just mentioned 2 guys that would be a better choice than Earley

It'd be something different, as their past three coaches -which span 31 years- don't appear to have ever been affiliated with the mariners.

Because Big 10 Baseball is going to suck? Just a guess. I mean at least in the PAC 12 Washington could leave the damp and cold Seattle area to play Arizona, ASU, Stanford , USC, UCLA and Utah in a warmer climate. Now they get to go to Ann Arbor and freeze their nuts off in late April.

PAC 12 baseball was already down before the conference shut its doors save for WSU and OSU who remain. The BIG 10 is going to do nothing to improve those baseball programs. Those who jumped to the Big 12 might be in a better position though, but even Arizona State who used to be a regular at Omaha has been MIA

Two of those three were promoted assistants.  The other was Meggs, who came from Indiana State IIRC, and he managed to get fired in spite of taking them to Omaha for the first and only time.  But because no one actually pays attention to UDub baseball, when the job opens, people want a former pro player -- I remember Dan Wilson and Mike Blowers being suggested when they hired Jason.  If Buhner is a candidate, I will lose all hope...

Maybe they can get Valle off of my rangers telecasts. 

Hey guys did anyone see anything about Texas joining the SEC yesterday, either on SEC Network or ESPN or elsewhere? I’ll I saw was wall to coverage of the A&M coaching hire, all I saw was just Aggies this and Earley that.

Joey got banned and don't play with Nathan no more.

If I was Wash AD Id interview all the Oregon State assistants and hire the best one

Can somebody explain to me why they wanted Washington's head coach as the pitching coach?

ERA by team: 

Washington '24 (#120---5.78)

Washington'23 (#90---5.37)

LSU '22 (#36---4.32)

Arizona State '21 (#147---5.28)

Arizona State '20 (#85---3.56)

Washington '19 (#100---4.49)

Washington '18 (#50---3.81)

That's as far as I want to go back. He hasn't produced a top 35 pitching staff in 7 years and maybe never if you look at his entire history. This is a mediocre hire at best. 

 

Because Earley is putting together a comfort staff of guys he knows that seem to have mostly overlapped at ASU?

Minus actually having head coaching tenure.

The simplest answer is usually the correct one when dealing with aggy.
They wanted to brag that they hired a sitting head coach as an assistant. Period.

I know you're being sarcastic but Texas hired the pitching coach that just finished 4th in team ERA.

It’s both hard to believe and imminently believable that TAMU can do the following in the space of a week:

1) Win more games in Omaha than they’ve won in the entire history of their program.
2) get to within one out and one error of tying/beating the favorite and bringing home their first Big 3 championship since Hitler.

3) be openly cucked by UT the next day and lose their best coach ever.

4) spin losing that coach as a positive because of his “lack of character.”

5) conduct a nationwide search and hire a guy that was an unpaid assistant two years ago, and spin that as an upgrade over their best coach in 84 years.

6) give their chancellor a golden handshake, plaudits, and year-long goodby tour when he is responsible for all of the above, plus strapping the athletic department through an insane contract extension for, and subsequent firing of, Jimbo. 
 

Never change, Aggies. From the outside, we truly can’t understand it.

1) Uhh they won 3 games in Omaha this year.  2 in 2022, 1 in 1993, and 1 in 1951 for 4 total wins so definitely not more than their entire history ;-)

2) They were 7 outs away from sweeping the tournament which hasn't been done since UCLA in 2013

They won 4 this year, didn’t they?  3-2 vs Florida; 5-1 vs KY; 6-0 vs Fla; 9-5 vs UTenn. Maybe I miscounted one?

You are right they equaled their prior win total in one year from their entire program history twice in three years!  I stand corrected
