Mike Earley needs to go be a head coach at mid-major. The teams we play are way too talented for him to be in an on the job training role. He's in over his head

I think this might be his last gig as a head coach for a long while.

This is also what happens when you let a bunch of entitled players choose the coach.

I don't expect a potential move until the end of the season.

Schloss and Del Conte with the kill shot. The minute Vitello said no thanks we were screwed. We did our best at the time, but we can't let that become loyalty that sets us back even further. Need to cut bait (mentally) and start working on who we bring in. Needs to be a huge hire to combat the massive setback.


I'm still not convinced we couldn't have made a damn solid run at Rob Vaughn if we had wanted to. I have a terrible memory but I don't remember even any rumors of taking an actual pass at him. The only blocker would have been Bama itself but given what we throw around money wise in contracts, we could easily beat them running. Coach Vaughn has been on that good/great line since at Bama but I think with our resources and talent pool, he actually could have turned those into something more than what he has done at Bama so far.

Kendall reported we had 2 serious candidates and 1 definitely would have taken it last year (before we ghosted them). I figured that was Vaughn


Skip Johnson at OU.

Wrong. Have spoken with some ex-players who have a relationship with Skip. He has no desire whatsoever to coach here.
None.

Had to hire Earley because of the body blow dealt by Schloss. Apparently we took a hard swing at Vitello that didn't work out. That would have been great and likely kept the players.

Imagine if we had gone another direction and half of the team wore orange the next year. That was too much to risk.

Now we have a mediocre coach that plays some weird analytics and talks in baseball cliches. We've been here before and it doesn't end in the finals.

Unfortunately our former coach a professional coach that talks in a real way and coaches with grit and strategy. Hate that he left and gave tu a huge power move against us,


We will need a new coach soon. We have the fan base, NIL, facilities and everything we need.

Ok. There's what you heard from someone and there's what actually happened last year.

He would be a "meh" hire anyway, so this is good news

You mean Skip not actually being hired here? Is that specifically what you're referring to?
Or, did Skip get hired and I missed it?
Because THAT'S what ACTUALLY happened…..

If that's what you got from my post, you need to re-read air.

Nothing. Our AD couldn't give 2 ****s about the baseball program. We're all just going to have to deal with this embarrassment and hope it doesn't set us back more than it already has. The next coach will be looking at damn near a complete rebuild. Fortunately in this transfer era it can happen fairly quickly.

He lost to winless Missouri at home last season and is on course to miss the NCAA tournament 2 years in a row. His current SEC record is terrible and he isn't ready to be a head baseball coach.

Way too much talent on this team to be wasting on this rudderless ship. After last year's futility, I was amazed that Earley pulled this much talent together. It's not likely to happen again after another disappointing season.


I somewhat agree with this offensively because I feel like our coached approach at the plate has limited the talent of our hitters. But we don't have SEC arms. I don't know how many times it has to be said. We just don't. They just don't have the stuff to get outs against these lineups.

That's on the head coach as well. Right?

South Carolina fired minerie, we could do it now and let Pennington take over. Im tired of the "wait and see" on this one. This university, fans, and our team deserves better.

It's hard for me to think of a reason for firing a coach mid-season, other than your potential targets declining to discuss the job before you have an opening, but that doesn't seem to be an impediment these days. Doesn't the transfer portal open once you fire a coach, or is that just football?

Time for a proven HC to be hired. I wish the best for Mike but it's time to move on.
