You think this season was bad? Wait for the next 4 or 5Wicked Good Ag said:
No and you guys need to be prepared fro him to be retained for next season.
Bad season of course but if you fire a coach after only one year who do you expect to take the job that you can likely get to come ?
They will want an even bigger contract to safe guard this situation
Now, can we fire him?

the turn around can be very quick as long as we hire the right coach. Look at what Schloss has done year 1 at tuRule#2 said:You think this season was bad? Wait for the next 4 or 5Wicked Good Ag said:

It's sold out regardless so I'm not sure I agree. And to be clear I want us to make a change, just all the Trev bashing seems very much out of place imho.Maroon Flash said:

Respectfully FIFY. Another season like this ain't gonna put butt's in seats.
At least now we all know how a Michael Earley team is managed, prepared and plays for a season.

Nah. Failing coaches expect to get fired. They don't "if I suck I get to stay anyways" safeguards
Won't affect the search one bit
several here that dont get it. there seems to be this assumption that the approach was the same this year as last just cause 1 person with the title of "hitting coach" is now in charge of everything.Quote:
As infuriating as it was to watch our guys not swing at close strike 3 pitches during the Schloss era it's clear as day that was a feature of him and not Earley.
Got it?
its more likely he was about as much in charge of the offense as bobby petrino was for jimbo, and was valued for his recruiting above all else.

Might wanna pull back on throwing that "talent" label around all willy-nilly...
We had some flashes and I love LaViolence but when the "first rounder" goes 0-9, 4-50ish since the tu series, pitchers struggling every day...
That doesn't mean they don't have talent. That means they have no direction. That's on the coach.
The team doesn't appear to be loaded with talent because Coach Wonder Boy, is clueless and the players regressed
He's the coach fran of Aggie baseball
Very obvious the other was responsible for the approach even Earley was looking after mechanics, swing.etc. Wherever Schloss has been has lead the country in pitches per AB, including this year in his first season at tu...Serious Lee said:several here that dont get it. there seems to be this assumption that the approach was the same this year as last just cause 1 person with the title of "hitting coach" is now in charge of everything.Quote:

Did a single player improve or even play as well as he did last year? Maybe Lamkin? Seems like everyone else regressed and some by a very big margin. Time for a change.
Earley should be fired as soon as he loses our game in the SEC tournament
you dont think if you fire a coach year one (regardless of reason) of a four year contract then next coach wont want some type of guarentees especially if the roster for next season is talented as we were on paperCaptain Pablo said:Wicked Good Ag said:

I gree with lots of people about certain things I just think he gets retained
if I am wrong I hope we make a good hire because the contract will be one that cant be thrown out after a bad season in a non revenue sport
Look at Vittello at Tennessee...stuggled the first year as coach and has said he wasnt ready and he was an assistant under who ?
But they got better and better and he made better and better decisions and players love to play for him
That sounds a lot like Earley as well other than the "talented" roster inheirited with lots of injuries
But as someone said the plate appoach Schloss had should have been something Earley adopted

You are WAY overthinking this. Everyone sees what this hire was. We had to make decisions AFTER the end of the CWS.
Not a single coach will be worried about their job status after 1 year due to the decision to let Earley go.

Except Earley has shown no reason to be retained.
He hasn't earned it. Nothing. Nada
I don't care what Vitello did. Has nothing to do with Earley
And what kind of guarantee do you think a new coach is going to insist on? Like, oh, years and payment? He's gonna get that anyway. Just like Earley has a guaranteed contract. Get paid even if you fail? Pretty sweet. What more should a coach get?

Exactly
The things clingers cling to
I swear
Trev isn't doing anything that isn't saving money. It's why they hired him.
The Jimbo deal has screwed us for a decade, thanks.

Ironically, Earley would have been better off following Schlongnagle to tu.
you dont think what a coach did his firat year as head coach who later won the national champonship and built a program doesnt have a correlation with our first year coach ?Captain Pablo said:Wicked Good Ag said:you dont think if you fire a coach year one (regardless of reason) of a four year contract then next coach wont want some type of guarentees especially if the roster for next season is talented as we were on paperCaptain Pablo said:Wicked Good Ag said:

I get it we all expected to be in the running for Omaha with the roster we had
But the roster we had wasnt the same with injuries and pitching dropped in the bullpen which no one cared about when the "talent" was offensive side of the ball
I am not saying to retain or not to retain....not my call I can see reasons for both I am just saying dont be surprised if retained
if you think that then you are a not understanding what agents will get based on that.

You have no idea what you're talking about. No compensation will be made or earned or committed to as a 'penalty' for letting Earley go this year.
Just stop
It's sad stating Earley is anything like Tony. I wish he were. But he's not.

and once again I am not saying he should or should not be retained
I am saying be prepared if he gets another year
Him getting another year will have zero to do with agents and concerns about firing a guy after 1 season given the situation we were in. Don't conflate separate points.
I genuinely thing this is the silliest idea people have. No coaches are going to care that he got fired.
People on here STILL comparing Earley to Vitello. Wow! And seriously? You couldn't ask for two different situations in their first season. Earley has shown exactly zero reason to be retained. He's completely lost. Can you imagine the depressing atmosphere around Aggie baseball next season if we keep him? He's gotta go and nothing has ever been more obvious.
Given the people saying he's not getting another year, I'm preparing for him NOT to get another year.
If we miss the postseason, Earley won't be retained. If firing a coach after 1 season of embarrassing us, scares potential coaches off, they aren't who we need in the first place. Find a coach with experience and a pair of nuts who doesn't worry about what happens if he fails.
To quote someone somewhere
Most aggies can't even spell Earley correctly. Firing him now will cost aggies 3 million. Who is going to want to replace a guy that got fired after one season with a winning record.

This was an absolute abysmal, complete turd of a season: just flush the toilet and start over.
Well we gave jimbo an extension with more money.
We kept Jo Evans around an extra couple of years to noavail.
We are keeping Joni Taylor around for another year after 3 years of little to no success.
We are letting Coach G play out his contract after a miserable year and 17 of his recruits have hit the portal and gone elsewhere. Some will be playing against him
I don't see how keeping this staff around another year is going to see the team get any better?

I don't know. This might be the IDEAL time for a new coach to step in.
He would be following maybe the lowest bar ever set in A&M history.

If we had a $1 penalty for misspelling his name and applied it retroactively, we would already have the $3M for the buyout.
That Missouri series is one of the most unexplainable, straight-through-the-looking-glass sports weekends I've seen in a long while.RED AG 98 said:
And while we might not have best team in America talent, we are still one of the most talented teams A&M has ever fielded and certainly better than 4 sweeps, one by an all-time poor team.
Missouri was so invigorated by sweeping us that they got outscored 50-11 this weekend by Mississippi State...they ended up 3-27 in conference play.
3 motherfarking wins and all three against us in our own park. Yuck.
