    There aren’t many times where you can bring your entire staff over from your old school and have it not be a bunch of comfort hires. This is one of those times.

    Had David Pierce coaching pitchers a month ago and now have the best pitching coach in the country LOLOLOL

    Sorrell (OF), Grahovic (3B/OF), Kent (INF/OF), Moss (RHP), Lamkin (LHP), LaViolette (OF) are some A&M players to keep an eye on. Current portal guys to keep an eye on (credit to current members of the team for recruiting guys while there basically wasn't a coaching staff in place for 3 weeks): Myles Patton (LHP, Long Beach State)- pretty sure this one is already close to being locked up Easton Winfield (OF, ULM)- I think this one is pretty far down the tracks as well Gavin Kilen (SS, Louisivlle)- Top SS in the portal and held off deciding so he could visit A&M after the CWS

    Tony Vitello isn't coming to Texas. The fact he continues to be mentioned in the same breath as Schlossnagle tells me that they just needed someone else to pair with Schloss in these conversations. He is getting a fat extension from Tennessee and has everything he needs there. If it isn't Schloss, it will be a candidate from the tier below.

    A&M is apparently supposed to arrive back home between 12-12:30 this afternoon.

    Too soon

    The good ones know just the right times to pull back the reins, both with their players and their staff.

    Pretty much every successful coach in the history of ever has some ass-hole in him. If not you are probably a total pushover.

    Longley did pretty much everything offensively and was the recruiting coordinator. Rodriguez spot-recruited some, but, from all accounts, didn't do much.

    Steve Rodriguez made 375k? The dude basically stole money from us.

    But Clayton Kershaw trained with him for a couple of offseasons!

    I don't think you see many portal flips in baseball. Apparently, some guys on the current team have been trying to recruit portal guys for the last few weeks. There are a few undecided guys I have my eyes on.

    Skip Johnson must have the best agent in the country to keep getting linked to these jobs as a coach with 1 good year and 6 years of below-average results.

    And if for some reason it isn't Schlossnagle I would have to assume this thing is still moving at warp speed. We just basically went an entire month without a head coach so the sense of urgency has to be high. We should be hosting portal visitors by this weekend.

    There is no shot this thing stretches out to Friday unless there is a hiccup somewhere along the way. The clock is ticking and it's time to get the new coach in, clean up what is left in the portal and get this thing back on track.

    I would loved to have seen the reaction of hiring an assistant coach from Arkansas getting his first head coaching job at Texas.
  18. Hookem2147
    This confirms to me how worried they are about him leaving

    Kendall Rodgers

    That doesn't surprise me. The new coach needs to stop the daddy-ball shit. There was way too much of it in the last 3-4 years at a program like the University of Texas.

    Gerry an hour ago: There is confidence in Austin with Sharma. I’m an interested observer

    And it wasn't the first time. Hurley's dad caused issues last year too. A lot of people were surprised he even returned.
  23. Hookem2147
    It was during the Cincy game and it involved Hurley's dad trying to confront Pierce. I've gotten mixed reports on if it was during or after the game.
  24. Hookem2147
    I’ve hinted at this several times and this was a part of the holdup with the official firing

    He and the staff hadn't been in the office in weeks. It was quite literally the worst kept secret of all time.
