I think after the Tennessee series will be when it is "too late to turn it around" barring winning the SEC tournament

If we are 3-9 or worse after Tennessee, it's over.

this is utter bull***** EVERYONE was ecstatic when Earley walked away from snotnasal and all the returning players agreed to stay. It's a ****ty season, but you cannot rewrite history.


ehh in my family group chat, the most ecstatic response was "It's fine, saves NIL money and that's important"

I was skeptical, but imo, if your AD hired a rookie head coach and didn't entertain the idea that he might need a year or two to develop, that's really silly of him. This was the gamble, but I think you might regret it if you don't let it play out another season.


You're gonna die standing on that hill?

I mean, I said "might regret" not "will regret"
so.. no?

but I do think it's dumb to hire a rookie head coach without ever even considering the possibility that he might not immediately be the best coach in the NCAA on day one and be willing to give that a couple of years to grow.

I think what you're saying is true, but what we have seen so far is so far below acceptable I think the conversation to move on after 1 season is fair.

As others have stated, we are currently on pace for the worst season in over 25 years.

I think most reasonable fans expected some growing pains with a first year HC. This is far beyond that though. Every aspect of the team outside of starting pitching and the bullpen half the time look extremely sloppy and incompetent.

Even in the first 2 series when the vibes were high we didn't look great, the opening night game vs Elon that came down to the late innings turned out to be a sign of things to come.

Season is over. Not sure how anyone can believe this team will turn it around. Its classic case of team has player friendly coach and he's unable to get maximum potential out of them. We have weak coach and it's on players too because there doesn't appear to be any leadership or accountability in the dugout.

I had no problem with this direction and experiment after schloss pulled that crap. But hopefully experiment is over and we are looking at options for next year. I would expect an announcement within a few weeks and the search is on.


NIL has a propensity of turning hungry into fat and complacent. People wanted college kids paid to play, this is what you get. No heart and zero accountability.

He was also an assistant for longer than Earley was. But took over a Tennessee program in a total rebuild and they hadn't made a regional since 2005

You mean everyone on a myopic message board that is largely group think? Most outside observers stated we replaced one of the top 5 managers in the game with a novice.

The culture is rotten. No accountability. Everyone kisses each other' asses and blows bubbles as opioids.

i don't know much about how we're doing on the recruiting trail. my primary concern would be if recruits are not buying in to a rebuild or whatever it is that's going on. if recruits are turning away then maybe you have to cut losses after one year. problem is, who do you get? can we afford a top tier coach or do we have to roll the dice on a coach from a smaller school?

Starting 0-5 in conference play isn't pole position.
This season is a wash. We're just going to play the rest of the games and hope some of the young guys develop.


We will see how this statement stands up in May. But until then I'm going to enjoy Aggie baseball. Is it disappointing, sure. But in the scheme of life, it's still sports. I've been doing this long enough to deal with it from year to year.

I mean, if you historically look back over the last 10 seasons, especially with the transfer stuff, the teams that made it to the finals or hell even through the regionals and the next year were rarely the same.

Same in the pros.

I think some of you just need to either step back from sports completely or calm down. There's so many other things in life that are truly disappointing like losing loved ones and other things. Keep it in perspective people.

developing the young guys at this juncture is a moot point…they will all transfer out.. know that.
This team has looked rough from the jump. It will get uglier, I'm afraid.

Where did all of that come from? I simply said the season is a wash. We're not going to play in a regional. That's it. Obviously I've already accepted it and am not real bent out of shape about it.

You don't think after a wildly disappointing season and finishing near the bottom of the SEC, that our top recruits and starters won't transfer?

the usual migration of football and basketball folks might be a little slower this year than usual.

trust me, this is safer than Premium right now. OMG, people are freaking out.

it's wild to think...in the last 5 seasons (2021-2025)...

A&M has been to Omaha twice...and completely missed regional play twice (or will have missed)

quite a contrast from the Childress era...when the Ags made a regional almost every year and then got knocked out short of Omaha almost every year

Saarloos not making it out of a regional year 1 is an example of new coach struggles. Missing regionals with the most talent you will ever have is a flashing neon red sign that he's not ready and nowhere close to ready.

The pitching coach was a mediocre HC, right? Fire Early and have him fill in for the rest of the season then run a real search. What's the worst that could happen… go winless in the SEC?

Its a sports metaphor. Think you're taking it too literal. Normal part of the vernacular on a fan forum.

If Earley is back our current starters will be back for the most part. Except those that are draft eligible. So no.
