Kelly has had 2 years and can't really see what he's done to warrant keeping him. The pieces of the rotation that spilled over into 2025 all seemed to regress under his watch. This year's pitching isn't good at all. Other than when Freshcorn is on the mound, I'm always prepared to get shelled.

No respect for Sims?

I don't think Kelly will be here next year
Dylan probably gets a bigger role
I think Chicken Strip is enjoying his media role
Working on facilities

I see this is the offseason for Festivus including our airing of invented grievances.

The notion we impeach the pitching coach to get rid of the head coach is nonsense.

Not really a JK fan, however, Sims made remarkable strides between freshman and sophomore season. Some of that, if not all, needs to be attributed to JK, unless he had a personal offseason pitching coach. Braden Montgomery had his own hitting coach nearby, not sure if pitchers do the same thing.

Why would we want him?

And he's being heavily recruited back to the MLB

Nah. That ship has sailed.

I like how you threw Ross in there

Oh I know! He gonna be back in the bigs soon. I don't want him back! And I think there is no scenario where he would ever be welcome back.

The issues with pitching are much more recruiting based than pitching coach based. Hopefully and Coach Earley fully believes this, when the Player Development Center opens before next season it will greatly improve our recruiting of pitchers.

It wouldn't bother me to see Kelly go but the Aggie colored glasses are ridiculous. Are yall just embarrassed he is over weight.

Yeah, that Cunningham has become a lot worse pitcher this year. Also don't forget about Lyons, his K to IP increased modestly as he engaged in a lot more conference innings vs non-conference last year. Vargas his ERA has basically stayed the same yet he went from Tenn Tech to the SEC conference. That's got to be a step down in competition. Darden, well, he is sporting a 3.93 ERA in when he had a 6.08 ERA at Clemson last year. I know...I know...ACC is much better conference.

There is big contingency that thinks Sdao was a legitimate Friday night ace when he was not and Moss was going to be stud Saturday starter we he didn't prove last year he could get through the rotation more than once. Also I think Sdao had a small surgery along the way as well but I am sure there was little impact on his pitching.

I don't like Kelly, but overall he seems like he is doing a decent job with what he has. Did not see the team go recruit a lot of arms on the offseason at least not high caliber arms. So what did you expect Kelly to turn this P staff into? It wasn't projected to be great coming into this season. He is solid coach not a magician.

JK is here the rest of this season. So not sure Why that's being discussed at this time. Also the pitching did pretty well this past weekend.

For the ones that make fun of people's weight. Are you teenagers? I really hope you are not adults.

For the love of all that is holy, can we have at least one week when we don't diss our coaches? Thank you.

Lamkin?

Cunningham came in with some sort of an arm injury. It was visible in the fall 2024 scrimmage. He's actually getting closer to his old velo this season.

I'd suggest he's doing better than I though he would with our lack of depth. Seemed like just yesterday everyone was moaning about what a bust Freshcorn was. Let's see how things go. He definitely won't be going anywhere this year. I'll be open to whatever the data at year's end tells us.

We need biometrics equipment in the new pitching lab. I am not familiar with what we do have, but our recruiting levels indicate that we are not fully equipped with the technology needed. Personally, I think we should purchase everything early and set it up in one of the hitting tunnels until the new facility opens in January and reinstall it at that point. I'm concerned we could see another subpar summer of recruiting pitchers because we still won't have the pitching lab equipment ready for use this fall.

Complacency can kill a season. Sure, we're not going to initiate a change midseason, but we all know what the biggest problem is.

Since when do fans' posts on a message board indicate the complacency or lack thereof within the program? I sure hope they aren't reading TexAgs at all, much less basing their decisions off of it.... "Well, I was gonna keep JK around, but this random poster on the free TexAgs board doesn't like him, so guess I'll fire him," said Michael Earley never.

I was reading this and can't believe it is a recent thread. Did we not watch our pitching staff pitch this weekend? They did an awesome job this weekend! Credit needs to be given to Earley and JK for shuffling the rotation.
