Great points and I think the deal is already done. They are just waiting on State to be out just like Texas did last year.

That On3 article someone spilled the info and they jumped the gun and had to pull back. You know On3 knew about Schloss way ahead of time but made sure they made no slip up bc of them trying to still recruits and players.

I wonder if the M State AD has been scouting cemeteries close to UVA.

I like Vaughn but also like the KU coach Fitzgerald he was at LSU for a year or two as well and he is a great younger coach. They both are.

As I've state multiple times I am fine if Earley returns as well but losign to Mizzou opened the door for the powers that be to have a case to fire him. If he stays he needs to make changes with his assistants.

I have heard the pitchers do not like Kelly and the discipline was lacking as was obvious to everyone.

I could see us taking Vaughn and Bama replacing him with the Kansas coach.

Kendall said the Troy coach might be the choice of Alabama in that case. Southern Miss coach too, but seems immovable.

Oregon coach and Kansas coach sound like they could be MSU options.

Our best hope for Tony V would be for them to lose in the regionals or supers.

If they make it to Omaha we won't have a shot.

But if he can't win a regional then why would we want him!!??

The deals already done. Just not official until State is out.

I could see that for sure or either way. There may be a few wildcards based on how a team does in the tourney. Stetson coach is another good one.

Too much smoke.

I think there was common interest and a handshake prior to them firing their coach. They went ahead and fired their coach bc the last thing they needed was for State to make a run with him still at the helm.

Don't say it can't happen. See Ole Miss for example.

We should blow their deal up

That's the advantage of acting early - and they still made tournament. Different situation but we could have moved quickly after the Mizzou debacle since the hand writing is on the wall.

Ditto on Fitzgerald. He has always been a good recruiter and if he can make Kansas relevant in baseball, that is impressive.

Nothing prevented A&M from inquiring about interest from O'Connor. sippie did not officially fire Pierce until a couple of days before hiring POS.

Unless we passed on O'Connor, if MSU lands him, not a good look for us. I love the potential upside of Vaughn but not sure how you pass on O'Connor given his accolades. Question is, does he still have the internal fire for more and want to be #1 in SEC? Or simply take the big check and retire in 3-4 years.
He is like early 50's plenty of fire and desire i bet

Trev should have contacted the O conner camp right after the Mizzou disaster.

Maybe we did and it was already too late.

If there was a handshake prior to firing their coach it was already done prior to the Mizzou weekend.

Sure but it all just speculation on our part and likely remain so however it all shakes out. I was simply pointing out that State firing Lemonis during the season did not necessarily give them the inside edge on O'Connor. Heck most of the fire Earley in early April crowd seemed set on Vaughn.

Would Vaughn be as good of a hire as Schloss was at the time of his hire?

No. And I'm a Vaughn fan and think he would be a tremendous hire.

So if I've been reading TA correctly:

If O'Conner goes to MSU it's one of the top baseball schools getting one of the best coaches.

If O'Conner comes to A&M it's because MSU passed and we whiffed on our top candidates and settled for him.

Either way the news it just the worst case scenario.

I figured there was a greater than 50% chance it was a troll.

Nobody seems to want to admit this but there were some questions about Schloss and whether his better days were behind him when he was hired here. A significant number of TCU fans were also insistent that Schloss wasnt the real deal and Saarloos was the current mastermind of TCU success.

I think that was sour grapes and proven to be inaccurate.

With hindsight yea. We dont have the benefit of hindsight in the current discussion of O'Connor.

How do you know we didn't do our due diligence??

Maybe we took a chance and it worked out for three years but didn't last

Yes

Speculation galore all around. My speculation is based on smoke singles from the college baseball media that is based on more than speculation. They have real sources.

Watch out Ags on slinging too much mud at Schloss. Yes, what he did last year stunk and his personnel life is a mess. I'm no fan of his in the slightest. But we threw crazy money at Beard per several sources. Which I have no doubt the majority would have been just fine with us landing.

Not even close. Vaughn hasn't been to the CWS multiple times.

Hell, he's never been to a super regional.

When we hired Schloss, it was universally hailed as a tremendous hire. All these ancillary things people are bringing up now were not talked about at the time with any seriousness.
