Did you not watch the most recent video of him talking about A&M athletics?

OP should have put stars on this and made it the "Official Hate on Trev Alberts Thread" so that all the bleeders would have a place to gather rather than bleeding on every other thread.

He got here a year ago and in that year the Big 3 have all taken a nosedive. His most notable achievement was playing a role in running off the best baseball coach in the country (I know, Jim's a jackass, but it's true) and replacing him with his utterly inexperienced and unqualified hitting coach.

I'm sure there's people that know things I don't, but until they feel like sharing with the class, I don't see any reasons why Trev *wouldn't* be hated. It certainly looks like he was brought in to slash budgets and take the fall for it. When the donors feel like spending again, we'll fire him

I'm not going to bother with the Schloss argument because that's been talked about ad nauseam, but both football and basketball improved this year. They had disappointing finishes, yes, but they both had better records and didn't have any earlier of an exit than the previous year. A nosedive is overstated.

Also, how much can you blame someone who has been here a year for athletics as a whole. There are only so many changes that can be made barring a coaching change. This upcoming baseball coach decision is the most information we will get on how Trev operates as he isn't handcuffed due to timing or other factors like the past couple searches.

We used to laugh and dunk on baylor two decades ago for having a joke of an athletic department and now look at where we are.

And they have a MBB title in the same time period.

Turns out, we weren't really a sleeping giant. We were a fat, balding has-been loser passed out by the dumpsters behind The Chiken.

Are you kidding? Baylor's athletic department absolutely blows. We are WAAAAYYY better than them across the board.
Check the trophy case and get back to me.

Women's Softball runner ups and WBB National Title versus a Men's Basketball title...

Are we?

Do we win more games than they do, on average? yes.

Do they have more titles than we do in mens sports over the same period? still yes.

There's no trophy for being average, and if there were, we would have them ALL baby. We dont. It means jack ***** Our athletic department, writ large, is ass.

We win nothing, and just go "awww jeepers, that's just them breaks" and pull our wallets out for another similar disappointing ass-beating the following year.


NIL will ensure schools like Baylor are never relevant again

It makes no sense. He's doing a great job so far. Most people here are clueless…about everything.
How exactly is he doing a great job so far?

We just announced the largest 3rd tier rights deal in the history of college athletics. We just announced full funding of every roster spot in our athletic department. His first REAL hire - Bucky McMillian, appears to be off a better start than anyone could have expected - amazing, actually.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Trev. Does. Not. Care.

When it comes to losing, he's a "gosh darn it" type of guy

No one ran off Schloss. That narrative is ****ing exhausting.
Firing his support staff without asking and playing chicken with the stadium renovations certainly didn't help the situation.

Don't let hatred for Schloss blind you. I despise him but can also acknowledge that A&M didn't hold up its end of the bargain. Pineapple man was right, we're never getting that stadium renovation, or at least not anytime soon. Firing Jimbo emptied our pockets and we no longer have the money to compete with the big dogs
Thought exercise since you seem so confident in this narrative. If Chris Park getting laid off contributed to Schlossnagle leaving - why did he not get him hired at Texas?

you won't get an answer because it won't fit the narrative. Just like if Schloss was so mad about facilities, why did he take a job with worst facilities and very little room if zero room to expand. Again if Schloss was all on board the facility bandwagon, why did he continue to miss meetings that slowed down the process

This. ****nagle was already out the door to tu, as soon as drunk del conte took the tu job. It was just a matter of timing after that.

We were just a way for him to get out of a bad situation at tcu until del conte could make the tu situation work. His success here made it easier for del conte to move on from pierce but don't kid yourself. We were always a temp home.

How is it a "nosedive" when we actually did better this year than we did last year in two out of three "Big 3" sports? Only one sport took a nosedive.

I can't imagine what you expect him to say. Knowing this sound bite would've been played everywhere if he said something controversial. I guess his "get everything to settle down" is kind of an excuse.

Talk about an all time awful post OP. You are taking a 30 second snippet with no context, no before or after, and have no idea what is he either responding to or thinking. If all you are looking for is "we didn't win a NC, so everyone will be fired" to make you feel better, that is what TexAgs is for.

Smart leaders don't air dirty laundry, they also don't divulge their intentions or battle plans.

Trev made a good hire for basketball. Earley, I don't put that on Trev, he had only been on the job a couple of months, there was nothing he could do about POS being a back-stabbing ass, and given the timing there really wasn't much choice in the matter when considering the roster, transfer portal, etc., etc.

Overall Trev has done a good job and when it comes time to hire a hardball coach I think it will be a good hire.

I wouldnt exactly say football improved. 8-5 with a bowl loss has pretty much been the norm. Plus competition wise, it was the easiest we've seen since joining the sec. If elko struggles, i'm sure the Trev pitch forks will come out in waves.

It's obvious that we are in trouble with Trev leading Texas A&M athletics.


I just watched the parts of the interview before what you posted. Sure sounded like we are replacing Earley based on Trev's carefulness with words. Trev even said "economics"/money will not factor into it, as if money won't be why we fire or hire whoever. Said at 80 seconds into today's TexAgs video…

I appreciate your take..

I watched the entirety of the interview, and apathy was the common thread amongst all of these "snippets"
His demeanor and tone was laissez faire across all responses regarding our athletic department.
It IS concerning as an Aggie fan and former student.

The purpose of the post was not to recruit whining or crying/bagging on him, but rather to bring attention to the poor interview responses, objectively speaking.

It sounded like he's about to fire Earley to me, and I saw Olin agreed on TexAgs this morning that he sees a firing coming based on Trev's interview..

Beyond that, dk what other sports we're mad about at the moment, except women's basketball and soccer and eventually track.

Softball just needs to buy some pitchers. Men's Basketball is on the right track. Football is fine til we need a new OC. Volleyball is good. These best coaches on campus just need more resources to recruit.

I was less than thrilled with his responses regarding our athletic department. You may have a different take, I respect that.
Has he made positive contributions to TAMU athletics, yes, of course. Never said he didn't.

Objectively, his interview responses indicated to me that establishing a winning culture is not at the top of his list of priorities as AD.

We don't have unlimited resources. But we are willing to spend, both as an AD and in terms of NIL support, for the sports that generate money and which we are passionate about.

We made a massive play for Vitello last year in what would have been the biggest contract ever for a college baseball HC. And then we spent the most NIL on our roster. How many other schools could/would do either of those things?

We put a huge package together to pursue Beard, and we've majorly upped our basketball NIL spend.

We're going big game hunting again in baseball this year, and even our less expensive option would be a big increase from what we paid Earley.

Elko has been given pretty robust NIL support and we've added some other expenses to the football ops like a FT PT.

Not being willing to buy out Joni or G in sports which our biggest supporters don't care as passionately about doesn't mean we won't spend where we do care.

It was better than the previous year. I wasn't trying to say that football is in an amazing place, but the original poster can't call it a nosedive when it's better than the previous year and it's maybe par for the course if anything.

Trev didn't hire Elko also. If you remember that Stoops debacle was all Bjork. There is nothing currently holding football back due to Trev.

I've read all the signs that have been shared but never seen this asked- Is there any world where Earley is retained but demoted in role? Assume not and that a new HC wants "his guys," but wondering in terms of our kids on the team potentially returning

Liucci said we were looking at 3 coaches - O'Connor, Vitello, and Vaughn. I wish Vitello would have a change of heart. We deserve a coach who hates Schloss as much as we do. I don't understand if we offered a blank check and turned it down why would he be interested now? Liucci says it's a long shot. At least Vitello wouldn't be shafting Tennessee if he left now.

O'Connor may be off of the board. Miss State people are saying they got their guy. All social media chatter, but we'll see.
