Although I don't think it will happen soon enough, given his current W/L record. But the players have no team chemistry/camaraderie, Pierce does not coach the pitchers at all, etc. etc. The son's quote was "this was the most dysfunctional team I have ever been on in my life." Spill the fucking beans.

In olden days, you couldn't poach somebody's head coach without extending the courtesy of asking permission to talk to them through the AD, and those discussions usually found the light of day. Now I know that the Beard deal was done at the McD's in Plainview or wherever and don't remember the details. Assuming it's Schloss, Texas and aggy have to play in the same sandbox to some extent in regards to the Legislature, etc. Do any of these things matter any more? No. None of that matters. Talks happen between agents, boosters, and interested parties. Plausible deniability for CDC or Hartzell or whomever.
June 24, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, ClubWhatever said: The announcement right now likely means he has someone else lined up whose team is not playing. That doesn’t mean that at all.
June 24, 20241 yr I’ve hinted at this several times and this was a part of the holdup with the official firing
June 24, 20241 yr Popular Post If I’m CDC, you don’t waste 3 weeks of portal and recruiting if it’s not Vitello or Schloss. Unless one of them f’s us at the end
June 24, 20241 yr I hope Texas does not go with the "for cause"......fuck even if Texas thinks it is realistic to do so it is hard enough to find a top flight coach in the 3 major sports at Texas lately so there is no need to mic that bullshit in (again even if it is not bullshit) over $1.7 million (which yea I know is a fuck load of money to pretty much anyone.....but UT sports) doing so would mean Texas has fired the last 2 out of 3 major sports coaches for "cause".....and yes beard deserved that shit for being a fucking idiot, but Texas can't afford to get that rep right now Just now, JGHorn said: If I’m CDC, you don’t waste 3 weeks of portal and recruiting if it’s not Vitello or Schloss.

Unless one of them f’s us at the end Not to mention how much it would suck for the current players who are draft eligible but may consider sticking around for a new coach. We've basically just let them sit around with no idea for weeks, if the hire is someone whose team hasn't been playing for a while and could have been hired in the last 1-2 weeks. The timing makes no sense.

His 2 longest coaching searches were softball (bc Clark retired, not fired) and T&F (because we had to fire Sategna in February and no one was going to jump ship 2 months before T&F season).

Unless we’re trying to save a few bucks on the Pierce firing Once Schloss/Vitello made it to the championship, it could have became clear to CDC that the getting either was very slim. Circled back to Bakich late last week, negotiations ran through the weekend and Pierce is fired today with Bakich being hired soon. Bakich would be a pretty good hire but the only reason CDC has waited this long is if there was a legit shot to get Schloss or Vitello.

June 24, 20241 yr Popular Post Pierce got in a fight with Hurley and Hurley's dad on field after his start in the big 12 tournament, told him he was kicked off the team and asked for his jersey. In the locker room the players lined up and tried to hand in their jerseys too, so Charlie stayed

But between the prospect of getting Schloss in here countered with the threat of Vitello coaching my team (he may be a great coach, but he's also a fucking tool), I'm going to be cheering for the Vols every much as though it were the Horns out there.

The timing makes no sense. If you are draft eligible with NCAA eligibility left you put your name in the hat for the draft. It's never a good idea to wait for the senior draft. You always have the option of not signing and returning but shouldn't skip the junior draft.
