Fair enough I guess. On the other hand unless we bring in someone new as an interim coach, we're just handing over the team to a staff that is just as much a part of the problem.

---

And who gives a crap? What is the freaking downside? Earley is CLUELESS and guessing.

---

My only point is whatever we do now is not likely going to change anything for the better this season. I'm not arguing that it shouldn't be done because as you point out, there really isn't a downside, I just don't see an upside either.

---

How about not getting caught flat footed in a coaching search, which is exactly what happened last year. It was known in March to the BMAs/AD that Schloss was leaving and we just dismissed rumors which yes was going around in recruiting/coaching circles. Let's be looking now so we won't have to scramble at all come June.

We could have locked Schloss up. We didn't.

False

I was at wheelchair basketball nationals tonight, and my son's team would've gotten the same number of hits as A&M. Would've drawn more walks, too.

How anybody can think Earley should keep his job after this season is beyond me. 100% I'd just keep him until the end of the regular season… but nobody can honestly say he should stay another year

If we just canceled the rest of the season, would it really make a difference? Are the Tuesday wins against Incarnate Word that important?

so I've thought about this a lot over the last week. I think Trev leaves Earley as the HC for the rest of the season, but he's already in communication with the BMA''s about finding a replacement. Added fuel to the fire is the Beard fiasco. Trev is already working on vetting new coaches. I bet that in a few months, we have a grand slam hire for Aggie Baseball. But Trev is keeping it under wraps so that their donors don't counter

---

Yeah, I don't see Trev as a 4d chess wizard, more like tic-tak-toe enthusiast because chess pieces cost money.

What's the record for worst SEC conference record in a season? If it weren't for Mizzou, I'd think we would have a pretty good shot at it. Earley and this team are historically bad.

---

Grok says for the modern era that honor belongs to Ole Miss 2023, which went 6-24. Can anyone pencil in where we win 5 more conference games?

---

Oof. At least they have a recent national title to alleviate that, while we have an almost championship (which makes it even worse). No idea where we're getting 5 more wins with this schedule. Mizzou is the only one I feel somewhat confident we take 2 of 3.

Fire after this series. Why wait until the end of the season. We could let the players coach themselves. It literally could not go worse than it is now.


And give me a break about fan loyalty or we are all Aggies. Some of our supposed stars are earning more this season than I will in a decade and would not be here otherwise. I cannot fathom how these guys just forgot how to play a sport that they have been playing since they were 5.

vitello vs earley in a fist fight could be an interesting show.

TV would curb-stomp Mike

but truly, if I'm him, I get myself tossed at the next questionable call in an absolutely memorable fashion.

like even orchestrate it with schott. Have schott get frustrated at an ump on his next out, act like you are saying him from himself and throw a YouTube worthy hissy fit.

somethings got to change the chemistry in that dugout.

---

It won't matter

If POS doing this team and this school the way he did isn't enough to get you motivated to chew down a brick wall, then some orchestrated outrage isn't gonna make one ounce of difference.

We are an absolute sht show and there's not a thing anyone can do about it

Absolutely false. He was on his way to swing with his little pineapple buddy no matter what we did.

And I don't care what transpires this season. I don't miss that doooooshbag even one little bit.

Texas A&M deserves better.

Kent is 4 for 40 in SEC play

I guess that's why Schloss didn't want to play him last year

He couldn't beat out Chestnutt, then, after a hot postseason, was ready to transfer unless he was assured of being the starting shortstop. There is a hardcore group that has steadfastly maintained he will be a star. I wish they were right but it seems that's not the case.

Everyone that is a regular here knows I'm not a quick to fire guy. I like Earley. I was pulling for Earley. I think he is a good young baseball coach. I believe it was worth the risk to hire him to keep the band together coming off last season. Injuries to key players have not made things easier for him. Heck I can even point out that two Omaha winning coaches are mired down with us at 1-9 in the SEC. Still I'm not willing to give him more time. We took a risk hiring him but he had to know he was not going to get the grace of learning on the job most first time head coaches get with their first job.

If this were a merely a disappointing season coming off a Omaha run I could maybe get on board with another season but this has been a complete crash and burn. Looking at the rest of the schedule, things are not going to get better. I take no joy in this, but the experiment has failed. POS buyout pays for this misstep. I think a total reset is what is best for the program in the long run, A new coach will not have the negativity nor the very limited time line for a rebuild. With NIL and new full scholarships starting next year we should be able to draw upon the quality talent that should be available considering the smaller roster size (also new next season) combined with the smaller MLB draft.
