It was all a grift. 

[chase25 2048]

Not even a shot at Earley because he is a really good recruiter and coach but this is nothing more than a mosquito bite, minor annoyance.

Will be interesting to see who Schloss targets as a replacement. Tons of young guys out there like Jon Littell at Austin Peay who have a bright future ahead of them.

My how the turn tables, Tennessee fans were all “we got you bro” with A&M fans just to have them offering free handies to Vitello behind their back. Where is the Aggie honor code for Christ sake???

[Beau Vine 54833]

So they hired a guy who was a volunteer coach this time last year?

So just like we all thought, everybody in the country said Hell No, I don’t care how much money you’re giving me, No.

Then Aggy said, Fuck it…see if Earley will take it.

Earley gets aggy…..I guess.  $$$$ talks.

Unless maybe UT AD was able to slide a $2.7M buyout in to Earley's contract when he signed with us.

Well, if you were working for free a year ago, it might feel like you just hit the Lotto!

I cant fucking attend the celebration now because i am so depressed

Wow...I had no idea Earley was just a volunteer coach last year. I can't wait to see the terms of his new contract.

I'm sure they will pay him well above minimum wage.

Doesn't Earley still have to sit out a year per the upcoming NCAA suspension along with Schloss and the other traitors?

20% off at the Dixie Chicken, and he has to buy them a new deep fryer if he leaves for another job in the next five years.

Mizzou's coach was the lowest-paid coach in the SEC last year at $675K, so you know they'll pay him more than that, just so they can say they're not last.

No, he was cleared of all wrongdoing by the interview/investigation.

[Victor R. Franko 90]

I hope he giged them for at least 1.5 million for 5 years, at least.

They will give him the $2.7m we paid for Schloss' buyout, but spread it over 5 years and pocket the interest.

Win!

And what the hell is it them with hiring former aggy assistants?  Buzz, Melk, and now Earley all brought back to Collieville. 

At least Buzz had some success as a head coach, Melk a couple years running a program.  Earley just a couple years under a winner.

Don’t stop there. Slocum, Sumlin, Sherman, Mark Johnson…..casting wide nets

[runthebone 8131]

Never know, he may do well enough to get stolen.

[Stinkpalm 689]

If CDC really wants to show how savage… err, downright dastardly he can be, he should tweet out a congratulations to Longhorn Baseball Assistant Coach Earley for being tabbed as the new head coach at a&m

Man, if Schloss cleans their clocks this next year and sweeps the series, can you imagine the meltdown.

Those idiots thought they could get Vitello or O'Connor and probably didn't even reach out to a candidate they had a chance with.

It really is amazing that anything out of the confirmation bias circle is always 100% wrong with a hint of violence attached to it. I think what we did learn today, aggy is broke as fuck because of Jimbo.

No meltdown because they will be able to fallback on their most trusted of excuses. Next Year our coach will be more experienced and it will be at our place.

Trev: Coach Earley, did you have discussions with Coach Schloss about leaving Aggieland to go be the sip head coach prior to the announcement?

Earley: Yes

Trev: Well that is not good.  Ok, and when the announcement came out, did you follow Coach Schloss to sip and in fact sign a contract to be a sip coach and get your picture taken wearing sip orange?

Earley: Yes

Trev: Strike two.  My final question....are you a living breathing human being who is willing to be the Fightin' Texas Aggie head baseball coach and live in College Station Texas?

Earley: Yes

Trev: You're hired!

You left out the part where Earley agrees to do it for the SEC minimum salary.

They are trying a little too hard.

This is nothing short of a disaster for them and they know it.

[StrippersAndNobelPrizes 855]

Complete clown show (Jimbo buyout, turn Stoops plane around after texags meltdown, Texas takes their coach, etc.)

Claim there are multiple NFL/MLB coaches interested

Claim there are multiple D1 coaches interested

Every coach turns them down/won’t return their calls 

Stories now surface that ex-coach was a horrible human being and butthurt players claim feelings were hurt (but wasn’t the case when aggy hired them)

End up with drastically underqualified hire, dictated by Looch, who coached at aggy, who “gets” aggy, who is the only one who would take the job

Coach so overweight can only wear mumus (not always the case but give it time)

Pravda (texags.com) spins this as the greatest hire possible and that this was their #1 choice all along and this coach “gets” aggy and the wins will just pile up

World laughs at aggy incompetence/delusion

Losses pile up

Rinse, repeat (coming soon to a basketball coaching search near college station)

Pretty sure the P5 coach being hyped up as coming on as an assistant is Jason Kelly at Washington. Was the pitching coach at ASU with Earley and spent a year at LSU before getting the head gig at Washington.

SIAP but has it been reported/confirmed that Weiner is staying at UT and not going back with Earley?

One thing in ATM's favor with this hire - it does give them a chance at a NC next year by keeping the roster together. From that standpoint, it's not a terrible dice roll which they can bail out of within a couple years. But beyond next year, I'd be disappointed if I were an ATM fan.
