And you have to think this helps with skenes 

Based on the LSU board, Skenes is going to come down to NIL $. Whoever pays him the most will get him.

TS12 whiffs again. Hilarious

Yeah but his staffs at san jac kicked us. We’re set dude. Think we just found our new skip 

They've always kicked ass but that's primarily because of talent acquisition. Every year they have a bunch of D1 pitchers on their roster. 

Which I guess is a positive with Williams because pitchers like Chris Stuart take good evaluations and an eye for talent.

The guy I have blocked on twitter? 

You do realize I'm an Astros fan and Republican right? Whatever you do don't follow his twitter if you think that's me.

And I’m fully expecting Alaniz to join the staff. I know. I know

That would make sense actually. Think TS12 was a little older though 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,070]

Ricky said in the softball thread he's like 57.

I'm definitely older than TS12. 

We used to argue on twitter all the time about politics until I got bored. Somebody said I was your sock a few months ago which makes more sense based on how we post. 

[Had Enough 2,093]

15 years, 132 wins, 30 bWAR in the bigs tells me he's forgotten more about pitching than 99.8% of this planet will ever know. 

Could you look this up for Burt Hooten for me?

Not quite that old but close. 

TS12 had to be in his 20s or 30s and we disagreed on everything other than Longhorn sports. As much as he hates Republicans and the Astros it's funny to me that anyone could think I'm his sock.

No I mean @Hookem2147  thought they might be the same dude. Think hookem is younger than TS12 though. Could be wrong. Carry on 

[Hookem2147 21,493]

Only thing I don’t like about this is Williams likely would have come in the volunteer spot if we wanted him to and then we could have used the other paid spot for a recruiter. Don’t think this staff is fully maximized with Rodriguez and Williams being the two coaches on the road, but I guess we will see what happens.

I've been called hookem2147's sock also so I guess this is a gangbang. 

I do think both have good information about Texas sports but with TS12 we were just too opposed on politics and pro sports. He really hates Houston sports almost as much as he hates aggy. 

I don't know enough about hookem2147 yet but something about my posting style made others think I was him.

I mean Alaniz has to be part of this plan. And hopefully David Freese

Y’all’s posting styles aren’t similar at all. Whoever said that is just flat wrong

For my two cents, if Williams doesn’t make significant improvement then It’s time to move on from Pierce.

Pierce is on borrowed time. He was our what, 10th choice? He whiffed on these hires while our rivals seem to be starting their engines...

What’s your definition of significant improvement?

For me, it goes deeper than just looking at ERA. I want to see guys like Sthele, Harrison, Gordon, Duplantier and LBJ take the next step. They all have the stuff. If he can get some consistency out of that group and we see noticeable strides from pitchers year over year, we have made a good hire.

Bro c’mon we all know it’s you. You don’t even have to admit to it but we all know how you post on here and how you like to go months back to find tweets to post on here to prove your points. It’s so obvious it’s you bro you don’t have to create an elaborate backstory about being a republican. Also can we stop bringing up Skenes on here it’s such a fucking moot point. 

[BurntOrange&White 40,651]

Can someone bump the coaching search/hiring thread of Pierce? I'm trying to recall the negatives.

Augie was a 3x CWS champion coach when he was hired. Not comparable.

Y’all are nuts. We just hired a great hitting and pitching coach after going to Omaha 3 of the last 4 years. More assistants are on the way too. And hopefully our overlords get that baseball NIL set up so we can do our part.

name 5 other coaches you’d rather have than Pierce right now

They were trying to run Augie off before he got to Omaha in year 5.  They also restarted with the DUI bullshit.  So they've always been here.  Stupid is constant I guess.

Though honestly I wish Augie stepped down in 2012 and handed it over to skip but who gives a shit. We just got 2 badass assistants that are gonna wreck shit here with Pierce

I honestly don’t see the similarity man. TS12 did like full roster breakdowns and kept up with the stats and whatnot. Ricky just calls it as he sees it

You do realize the reason I post in the Olympic sports forum is because my daughter is track and field athlete right? I've discussed this many times dating back a couple years. You do realize that I'm a Houston fan that is very pro Houston sports in several threads? 

I don't want to derail this thread anymore because this is so pointless when the poster you think I am called me a bitch on twitter.

Yeah well his first two years were horrible and the internet was giving him plenty of shit for it. CWS Champ or not.

[dcar00 14,630]

slightly underwhelmed but if Anderson and Childress said no then I'm not sure there were a lot of other obvious options.  poaching an SEC PC would have been nice just to hurt another team but I'm sure that wouldn't be easy.

the only thing about comparing this to Skip is that he was at Navarro for 12 years and as HC also.

Williams should be able to recruit.  San Jac has usually been good to us so there is that.  Hope it works out.
