Looch bullet points.
evidently we are pronouncing his name wrong per Paul it is Billy "Loo-she"
Mark Stoops was one of wildest things covered, as was Jimbo vs Saban - the last 24-36 hours or so have moved up to #1
it's building up to Schloss coming back to C-Station as a coach in burnt orange being bigger than the Texas/A&M football game (dumb)
Paul: what's the situation as you know it? --> "i didn't know for sure he was leaving, i suspected it." in part because he was a close friend who started acting differently. he was told during the georgia series in April Schloss was taking the Texas job. radar was up, found out people at A&M were aware of it.
asked him the night before they played Texas if he was taking their job and he didn't really shoot it down, just asked who was saying it or told him
"it felt weird the entire time there" in Omaha
Looch thinks that CDC is who leaked the Pierce firing the day of the game and that threw him. "if you know that's your coach" why are you letting that out in the biggest game of your best friends career? (it wasn't CDC, you dunce, it's Pierce. the single person incentivized to leak it)
tell me about what happened after the question from the Texags guy? --> "he apologized today to open his presser" - Schloss said "i don't think i'll ever speak to you again" after the Texags reporter asked it, in front of everyone evidently after the televised/recorded part of the presser per Looch (but literally no one else who was in that room reported it?)
"I sent Olin there to be at his press conference in Austin just to ask some questions"
whats happening internally at A&M player and coaching wise> --> its a mess player wise. lot of players want to stay but very concerned and being recruited by the coaches who recruited them to A&M now to Texas aggressively. it's 2024 but its still mindblowing. kids are 1 day into not having a coach but the portal closes july 1 he thinks.
complained about the portal and that it's a mess with the calendar (hinting that july 1 is too close to end of CWS? i think?)
Alberts has to go do a quick search (that they have known about since late April?! per Looch)
Looch: just for the record if you leave after returning you didn't get to Austin and start working today. you can't in a million years convince me that they weren't working (in omaha) on behalf of what they were going to be doing at Texas
Paul: not trying to be overly dramatic, but you think they were recruiting for Texas while in Omaha? --> not recruiting, but thinking about texas. you can never convince me otherwise. anyone who believes otherwise is insanely naive. this is what a lot of players and players families believe.
noted that the new A&M coach could leave their school in really crappy fashion
Paul: if A&M had won the game, and the national championship would anything be different today? --> no. they would have had to be in Austin before the parade. i think they are coaching there, and that entire staff is in burnt orange when the parade happens. that's wild to think of. don't think it would have been different
Looch: i think Schloss was frustrated about promises made by Bjork about the stadium. after that it took too long. had to trust assurances. was going to get bump to highest paid coach in baseball.
there was a gap and he had the safety net in place (CDC/Texas)
he was on the search committee, they didn't pick the guy he wanted who was very baseball friendly. when that happened he thought about leaving
not justifying the way it went down at all - completely wrong. if you want an explanation, i think that's it and if you go back to right around Georgia, thats when the dominos started falling
