aggy has to be the only school with multiple "journalists" scrambling to make a scene that they are attending their former coaches press conference at the coach's new school.  If nothing screams little brother... this action could be put on cup.  It's almost sad how pathetic they have become.

 

This. It’s very pathetic. 

And they wonder why people continuously make fun of them…

  • Is Bevo there Lobo? I am really interested to see if Bevo and Schloss have a natural bond and if Schloss willingly reaches out. Bevo is a huge part of our University and football program so if he has

This was probably a sight for sore eyes not seeing Male yell leaders

Wow...  Schloss is a much better coach and leader than Pierce.  🤘

I didn't think anything could beat Tech's reaction to us hiring Beard, but this is truly next level insanity.  

Sending reporters to the introductory press conference is BATSHIT.

This is a good way to make sure your HS isn't recruited. I realize an aggy can't think beyond his own nose.

These aggy reporters just won't shut up. All asking the same question. Obsessed with the timeline.

This was my thought. It's like there was a team of writers and PR people working up the talking points and PC outline for Schlossnagle and part of it read: "-35 minute mark: run over ATM repeatedly for 5 minutes" and then a screenshot of that was emergency-looched.

Trashing aggy at a PC certainly doesn't align with our style. The world can watch those clowns smear feces all over themselves without any prompting from Texas.

bullet points from the presser:

Eltife

  • talked up CDC
  • heavy focus on coaches character and integrity

Hartzell

  • winds at back of athletic dept, 2 big reasons are CDC and Eltife
  • Texas is "united"
  • CDC is the best AD in the country, brings together outstanding leaders/teachers/developers of talent - add in talented students
  • "athletics is an important part of Texas" and "baseball is an important part of Texas athletics"

CDC

  • "a united Texas is a reckoning"
  • every major decision includes Eltife and Hartzell - no decisions made in vacuum. all big decisions are made from a "unified front"
  • "when we are all rowing the boat in the same direction, Texas is a reckoning"
  • decision made on Pierce, then had a discussion of what they were looking for
  • Hartzell asked "who can lead this program to what they want"
  • has known Schloss since 2007
  • took TCU "from the ashes" to Omaha
  • told Eltife and Hartzell "we have a guy" but he's on a run, let's see if he's interested
  • "so proud" he has chosen this opportunity
  • "couldn't think of a better person to run this program"

Schlossnagle

  • believes baseball is a job you do not one you talk about and have a lot to do
  • talked about his respect for Augie and Pierce - had talks with Augie about the job of being a Texas coach
  • thanks Texas A&M - wasn't just a move from one school to another school
  • thankful for support from players, staff and admin at A&M. will always comment positive about A&M
  • "confident that we left that program in better shape than we found it"
  • introduced the coaches (cain/early/weiner) - "had to be a team effort"
  • clear it had to be a team effort (bringing the staff)
  • why this move and why now? - on some hands easy due to relationship with CDC and his wife. but hard because of timing. can't always choose timing, can't meet with your team as you would like. "for that, i am sorry"
  • "never in the history of college athletics is alignment more important" - AD, coaches, staff, etc
  • "i need a great leader and Chris is the best leader i have ever known"
  • super hard and emotional to leave due to love for players at A&M
  • "OB im glad you are here" - talked about his answer the other night. "gave everything we possibly could to win the last ball game"
  • want to publicly apologize to the TexAgs reporter (he used his name - Richard Zane?)
  • "wasn't in the mood to talk about myself or the future"
  • big culture guy, culture at Texas will be Toughness, Energy (elite effort), eXcellence (best version of yourself), Accountability, Selfless (greatest quality someone can have is humility, can't learn what you think you already know) - culture/core values. not something on a tshirt, what we will live
  • program belongs to current players and former players
  • "my job is to steward this program"
  • recruiting: "always believed players make decisions in academics, player development, team success"
  • "Texas is and will always be elite in all 3 of those areas"
  • "have to prepare to compete in the major leagues of college baseball"
  • "super excited to get to work - hook 'em"

Q&A

  • where is this program at and what do they need to do to compete? --> first order is to contact players and we can build a great program around them. have to have players as good as other teams. transfer portal era requires health, playing fundamental baseball and getting the breaks. lot to do in a short time. incoming portal players, HS players, etc
  • BZ Houston Chronicle: when did CDC approach you? how tough is it to not let your players know? --> players know: it's miserable. same thing happened at TCU, got to call all those players. calling those hes allowed to call from A&M based on their eligibility. can't reach out to players based on rules. tried to preview with a few guys to give them a heads up before they landed. CDC: talk all the time. texas had a baseball coach, once they made that decision then we (after the game the other night) had serious convos. came to visit with me yesterday, we came to a decision
  • FCB asked a question but who cares, because FCB. --> had a long talk about what it meant to be coach at Texas with Augie. never had a dream job, but never dreamed about A&M or Texas. Alignment: so important due to uncertainty. when you have someone like CDC who is in the meetings and will listen to the coach, he's a coaches AD, i run to that. not telling you they didn't have it at A&M just felt very good about the "narrowness" - short, straight, direct lines between president - chairman - CDC. comforting to a coach
  • OB from Texags: coach on Monday night you said you went to A&M with that being your last job and that you mind hadn't changed beyond that. what changed and what would you say to A&M who supported you and feels intentionally misled? --> didn't intentionally mislead them. in that moment that's how he felt. no plans on coaching to 75-78. made choice to leave TCU because aligned with what he had going on. dove in with all he could to help them have their best program. that investment lasted through the last pitch of the national championship game. never wavered. if he had left AM for another school, interesting texts yesterday wouldn't have happened. "i get it" - can't ask for fanbase to support and be passionate and then expect everyone to be ok with a coach leaving for it's rival school. "i get it, i get it" - all i can say is i have a career too and a personal life. i have goals and felt like (no negative to A&M) te positive of the alignment and my relationship with Chris. know he can trust him. as hard as decision was couldn't walk away from it
  • someone asked about NIL - how much did it figure into decision w/ Texas? --> kicked answer to CDC. A&M was fully committed in that area, i know Texas will be fully committed in that area. in general, NIL puts you in the game, but then it goes back to those 3 things he highlighted earlier. dont' want NIL first players. want winning players and people. 
  • Tyler Feldman? - asked about CDC. memory he can share that springboarded the friendship? --> talked about his first interaction at RIce/TCU and CDC and Coach Graham's relationship. next interaction was the TCU AD interview
  • question about Texas/A&M rivalry and whats happening back in college station when they go back -->  "it will be an experience for sure" - "i didn't do this to spite anybody" team has to be prepared mentally for it
  • Bob B: how much of a distraction was Monday from a team, and players saying things on social media? --> can't control that. said it was sensitive so couldn't tell people. don't think Coach Elko sat down with Duke team before he left. don't think Monday was a distraction at all. know players can separate that. wasn't on the phone with chris before the game or anything like that. wanted to win a national championship, been there 8 times wanted that personally. wanted it for A&M. wantd to be part of the first national championship team there. if you were to ask coaches no 1 player on team was focused on anything other than winning
  • ??? --> judge me on my actions and what i do over time. have to build relationships wit players. feel like staff has proven track record of doing things the right way. A&M will say this wasn't done the right way, i just don't know any other way it could be done. waiting a week wouldn't have been fair to A&M or Texas.
  • Alex Miller with The Eagle - going back to timeline, discussions with Texas during season or post season during the run? --> no, talk with CDC all the time. no bare bones discussion of this. when i was at TCU, the rumors were there. can't control that.
  • Joe Cook - how important was it to bring entire staff? --> other than working with CDC, this was the most important part. needed my guys with me
  • Corey ??? - decision for career as well, in your opinion what makes this the right time and you the right person? --> right time: 1) open job 2) CDC is here with a contract and it was simply that. opportunity couldn't walk away from

the hand shake with hook'em at the end was dorky as hell.

This press conference is an absolute evisceration of Trev Alberts

So fucking absurd.

I didn't realize how good of friends CDC and Schloss were.  To have a specific buyout in his contract with Texas? lol

 

I’m ready to run through a wall for him.

Not specifically "Texas," but it was doubled if he left for another school in Texas, and only Texas could afford it. I think it was 2.7m total.

i'm guessing we get a staged question as to why he left. he's going to say he got along very well with Bjork, Alberts came in like a bull in a china shop fired a lot of people, said that prior agreements with Bjork were null and void, didn't think he could trust him for XYZ reasons, didn't trust him when it came to future promises, didn't think he would bump up the pool for his assistants like Bjork promised, didn't feel supported (example is going to be CDC at the CWS while at TCU vs Alberts last week) didn't feel like he had his back if things got tough for a myriad of reasons and because of all that he went to the place that he knew he would have a leader who had his back, who was trust worthy, who saw the value of the assistants and the team he put together, with whom he had a great relationship personally and professionally and who saw the vision into the future.

he is going to say some nice things about A&M fans and passion and ultimately put all of the blame on Alberts

OR

he is going to go full villain mode, talk about how fucking weird the fans were, how wild the cult was, how much he loved the players (and how any of them would be welcome at Texas), but how much he missed being in a real city and at a place where the team and coaches felt supported by leadership.

 

OK now that the presser is over, is it really true that Alberts didn't go to the CWS?  Not even the champ series?

I missed that. He has a specific buyout increase for Texas/reduction on his end if CDC leaves before he does?

Edit: never mind. I see it was an increased buyout at A&M if he left for another Texas school.

I'm very grateful that Aggieland is apparently missing this part of it and is entirely obsessed with tHe TiMeLiNe instead.

You're right, Ags, everything is perfect in Aggieland and Schloss is just a piece of shit monster who couldn't appreciate it. You've got it!!!

No matter how much they talk, no matter going to the SEC, no matter all the "oil money" they spend, no matter almost winning in Omaha...there is a deep seated insecurity at the heart of Texas A&M that will never go away. And they're letting it all out right now.

not sure on this front. the comparison was seeing CDC in the dugout during CWS with TCU vs Alberts and folks asking if he was even there. didn't see anything in a 2 min scroll of his twitter

There was a guy on TexAgs bitching that Tennessee had a big tent/tailgate, meet and greets with the players, etc and Alberts was locked in his private suite with all his Nebraska buddies.

It also demonstrates the truth of what I always point our: that all of the A&M beat writers are A&M stakeholders. They are Aggie boosters. They are not journalists. They recruit and stan for A&M constantly. They're emotionally invested.

Schloss' comments on leadership will probably result in aggy giving Alberts a 25 year contract extension because of their "us versus the world" mentality. Emotional children.

since at least February 2023.  saw clips of this floating around Twitter.  Schloss was definitely not happy with the Aggie fanbase during their season opening series against Portland.

Any fan base that goes to heckle their own players in person is pure trash (non pro athletes)

 

Olin is apparently under the impression that coaches don't have agents or something.  That world has existed for eternity.
