Not my best work as I did it in a rush, but wanted to ride the momentum on this thread.    schloss.mp4

(i wanted him gone, just saying how good our program has been)

I'm pretty sure it wasn't exclusively about onfield performance.

Now the 4-letter announcers who usually run conversations that have nothing to do with the play-by-play anyway, will now speculate wildly tonight about this move made today, instead of giving aggy any national run. Lulz.

Not sure why this would have been executed and not put out. Decided and executed are different. 

Or announced? I don't know 100% why, either, but it looks to be exactly what happened.

Gotta believe Schlossnagel is either laughing his ass off or hugely pissed. Doesn't seem to be any middle ground here.

Other than bullshit non first party people what source is there that he's been officially terminated for a week or more?

The official announcements by Pierce and CDC sound like it's been Done since shortly after Regionals. CDC just waited for maximum effect. Big time play.

I'm just referring to pretty connected posters on here who alluded to some behind the scenes issues.  I'm nobody.

But they didn't suggest anything further? I don't visit the baseball forum often, obviously, so I haven't been following. But I haven't heard any rumors of any behind the scenes issues other than he sucks. Lots of questionable coaching and roster management stuff, but not like he's an acolyte of Cleve Bryant or anything.

CDC's and Pierce's own statements where they're basically saying they met about it at the end of the season. The fact CDC hasn't spoken about it at all in over 3 weeks of rumor craziness, and neither has pierce, also made it pretty obvious. Tea leaves.

I just assumed they meant the coaching staff turnover. The only pitching coach that will work for Pierce is himself, and that didn't work out too great.

There have been more than one reference to abusive treatment of players and families.  Do I know that's true?  Nope.  I'm not gonna be much help here.  Shouldn't have said anything.

I'm no insider either, but it's been said he's kind of a prick, hard to work for (staff turnover), and rubbed some big money guys the wrong way. That stuff is fine if you're getting to the finals regularly, but when the trajectory is trending down and your in-state rivals are recruiting and performing lights out, the leash starts getting short.

Yeah, no, I wasn't being accusatory guys. Like I said, I don't spend much time here, I was legitimately asking. He's definitely a dumb prick.

I have figured it out. It's not going to be Schloss or Vitello. It's going to be Schloss AND Vitello.

Schloss will be HC for 5 years at $3M+ per and then retire and hand the reins over to Vitello.

Big joint PC tonight after the game with CDC there as well.

That will be $9.95, please.

Tiger droppings poster saying 35 million for 10 years? Lol

This has been floating for close to two weeks at this point. I remain deeply skeptical that Texas is going to reset the market for college baseball coaches, but it won't bother me if it is true.

I do agree somewhat with the sentiment of “if its schloss/vit, why distract the team with firing news today”?

 

Why not? We don't owe either of those asshole schools and programs a fucking thing.

Or maybe they're going to announce the hiring of Bakich in about 90 minutes or something.

Is bakich worth 3.5 a year?   Is he a guy that would reset the market?

IMO there were rumors circulating already, so I don't see it becoming any bigger of a distraction than it was for the teams themselves. For the people around it, sure.

He’s not a good coach and would be a massive mistake hire. Lucked into one deep CWS run with Michigan in 2019 and has been riding that success ever since.
