    I know you're being sarcastic but Texas hired the pitching coach that just finished 4th in team ERA.
  3. Rickylovesweed
    Can somebody explain to me why they wanted Washington's head coach as the pitching coach? ERA by team: Washington '24 (#120---5.78) Washington'23 (#90---5.37) LSU '22 (#36---4.32) Arizona State '21 (#147---5.28) Arizona State '20 (#85---3.56) Washington '19 (#100---4.49) Washington '18 (#50---3.81) That's as far as I want to go back. He hasn't produced a top 35 pitching staff in 7 years and maybe never if you look at his entire history. This is a mediocre hire at best.

    It's pretty obvious they went after some big names (Vitello, O'Connor, Link Jarrett) and tried to make a splash hire. Once they realized that wasn't possible it was tier 2 to tier 3 options like (Heefner, Skip, Vaughn). I think they missed on Heefner too but Kendall hasn't said anything about him. Once it was down to a bunch of meh options they just decided to hire Earley. It was the David Pierce hiring process but without an interim athletic director which makes it even more embarrassing.

    Yup, stuff like that happens when you change coaches. Some players are attached to certain assistants. It is what it is.

    Lol you're surprised a 18 year old kid with those slash lines is a top 100 prospect? Not sure if serious.
  7. Rickylovesweed
    So we know Earley was at least their 4th option based on Kendall's reporting.

    aggy didn't want Hinch, O'Connor, Heefner, Skip, or Vaughn. Nope, they were adamant on hiring somebody that's never been a head coach. Don't tell them otherwise. This was their first choice.

    That's a big one. Winfield is one of the top players in the portal.
  12. Rickylovesweed
    That's a big one.

    If Earley is hired, I wonder if Schloss will go after Tennessee's hitting coach/top assistant in Elander. He played for Schloss and was a student assistant at TCU.

    I'm not sure this is even a bad thing. The Elite 8 team is the best roster we've had in long time with good and experienced college players. See Timmy Allen, Marcus Carr, and Jabari Rice.

    I mean Alabama is one of the worst SEC jobs there is in baseball. If they can't pull that one off it's pretty bad.
  16. Rickylovesweed
    The new name being mentioned is Rob Vaughn.

    The funniest part of all of this is that Trev Alberts will come out of this as some type of folk hero with aggy fans. When reality is this is a next level fuck up to lose a coach like Schloss and then pull off a David Pierce level coaching search where you end up with your 5th or 6th choice as a replacement.
  18. Rickylovesweed
    O’Connor, Heefner, Skip, and now Walter. They’re still going to try and convince themselves they wanted Earley from the start.

    This is wild and a terrible look for Alberts.
  21. Rickylovesweed
    Losing a coach like Schloss to a rival and then hiring an assistant with no head coaching experience is pretty bad.
  22. Rickylovesweed
    Yeah, they're way down the list now.
  23. Rickylovesweed
    This is starting to sound a lot like the Pierce search. The funny part is that was when we had an interim AD.
  24. Rickylovesweed
    I'm not saying you're wrong but Skip's salary doesn't tell me much. He isn't paid as a top coach because he isn't a top coach.
  25. Rickylovesweed
    I just don't think Skip is very good. 6 full seasons at OU have included 3 bad years, 1 decent year (simply because of Big 12 title due to the Big 12 being ass), and then 1 really good year during the CWS run. He's only advanced out of a regional 1 time in 6 seasons.
