Whether via internal demotion or outright, I agree. We have to change something.

Blame it on the AD for having no plan when he supposedly knew about schloss in April.
I'll give him a bit of a pass on that. I'd assume the further we made a run the more likely you could convince him to stay.
But you're right… he should have had a contingency plan in place just in case.
Fire longley tomorrow and Earley better spend every minute of practice fixing the batters or fire him into the sun too.
But they got the coach they begged for. No reason to feel sorry for them.nothingbutlove said:

The guys played their hearts out last year, only to have the coach dump on them.
Then this slump or whatever it is happens. I feel for the team.
RC coached a better offense than Mike Earley. Shameful.
I'd get rid of Earley at this point or demote him to hitting coach and letting the pitching coach be the interim hc. This is a total rebuild now.
A&M vs Missouri is going to be cinema for last place in the sec.

As much as I believe Trev made very little to almost no effort to retain Schloss, I believe Schloss came to A&M purely as a placeholder to his next move to tu. Trev could have done less to give him reasons to leave. But, there was nothing he was going to be able to do to keep him short of joining Schloss in his lifestyle.
we really think Earley is just sitting on his hands and hasn't been coaching hitting some??… if so, that's horrible
I am pretty sure Vitello was a more experienced and highly regarded assistant.Thisguy1 said:HowdyTexasAggies said:Evanhue said:
Is Early the Fran of baseball?
At least Fran had some skins, hiring him was understandable. Turns out, there was no reason to hire Earley, nothing, other than the players liked him. He's never been a head coach.
The resume of the last coach to win a national championship with the current number 1 team in the country had pretty much the exact same resume as Earley when Tennessee hired him.

TV had 8 more years as an D1 assistant coach
Agreed. The deepest run in program history made this thing play out very strangely...tjack16 said:Killzone3abc said:GarryowenAg said:POS was gone regardlessS.A. Aggie said:

Fastest fall from 1 to unranked in history

Well good for them

Launch angle is so stupid. If Jace isn't trying to lift that ball gets way out. He top-spun it and took easily 50 feet off that fly ball. His swing path is absolutely terrible and almost impossible to hit a ball square and get backspin. Amazing that the hitting coach hasn't fixed that. The worst part is I bet he is responsible for it.
LaViolette tried to golf that one instead of driving a pitch that he got to hit.
Kiel tried to pull an outside pitch.
Kash...at least he hit it hard, but it was right at the 2nd baseman.
Kent's last AB, he tried to golf a pitch that was inside and low.
Nobody who is on their game thinks that's what you should be doing with those pitches. I'm not sure if anyone told them it is, but when that's an issue throughout the lineup, you kind of suspect it is.

This seems worse. Early took over a top ranked team.
The last time we were swept at home was April 9-10-11, 2021

No, I don't think that at all. He needs to take it back though. Multiple players, including claunch, credit Earley with the tweaks they made to their swings for them to have the season(s) they did.

Didn't he publicly admit he knew Schloss was leaving right before the CWS? Something about skipping a stadium meeting and telling Schloss he didnt have to be here or something? Zero excuse for not having a plan.

This. The entire team and staff can all have a pity party together. They got what they wanted and fans spent out the ass to make sure their lives are real good to do so.
"gee golly the boys played so hard" **** isn't in the cards this year. Get better, make the fan base proud, or continue to suck and deal with half empty stadiums and an early summer vacation.
We need a major shake up. Maybe Early should resign. Who knows. That's extreme, but so is what we are seeing
I hate tu. It's in my blood.
It was a fun January and early February.
This is shameful.
This is shameful.

Don't think he's sitting on his hands. Think his attention is divided as a head coach. And if he and his hitting coach are both delivering messages, no matter how much they think they are the same, the message that is getting through looks more like the message tu's hitters were receiving last year. Too many "cooks" and all.

The only blame Trev theoretically had in that situation is not having a hot wife who liked upside down pineapples.
trouble… i really hope Earley hasn't been that passive the past 9 months
I get this argument, but imo, nobody big was coming to A&M to coach. They tried to land a big fish and failed.AggieBB said:But they got the coach they begged for. No reason to feel sorry for them.nothingbutlove said:

And I have no faith in our leadership to hire someone who can actually win and build a program in men's major sports.
We were hosed either way. With Earley we had a chance by retaining so many proven players. His hiring seemed to me to be the quickest way to rebuild.
Time will tell, but it is looking bad.
Kelly won't be any better. I'd let Hutch be interim HC before Kelly. At least Hutch loves this place and will probably be here with the next staff.OA_02 said:

Could've gone either way, but the emotional decision to keep him because the players liked him sure has backfired. It's almost like a group of 20 year olds aren't quite as smart as they thought they were.Quote:

Longley could be fired tomorrow and i'd be shocked if our hitting got any better
Schloss was skipping multiple meetings and lied to Trev's face when asked if he was considering a change.
I think we did have the outline of a plan but we didn't have an opening to fill. The timing was planned for maximum destruction. We had a short list by that night.

I don't think he has been. I think he's just got lots of things to deal with now. He can't not do the head coaching things.

Earleys contract details afirm your stance that this athletic department is incompetent.
