Someone didn't get the memo on Tulo. Sorry, aggy, there is no cherry.

There's always a wayward sheep going into heat around BCS, so for aggy there's always a cherry bro.

That's evidence that he's not a moron? Interesting opinion considering they hired a HC who was an unpaid assistant just a year ago.

Alberts bascially invited Schloss to leave, so of course, he was going to fuck this hire up completely. However, it's pretty obvious that the aggy athletic department has serious money issues due to the Jimbo contract.

Maybe he was sure he could save a million a year from a non-revenue sport and still attract a good coach because of their fabulous facilitiesfacilitiesfacilities, that great Aggie homefield advantage, and his own brilliance as a negotiator salesman.

No cherry for you, Aggie.

I have heard more than one aggy brag about "the big 20" or wtfever they call it, supposedly a group of superrich alums who can finance any disaster.  So where were they this time?  Trying to digest their last coaching salary screwup perhaps?  GOOD

When listening to an aggy, you must always start with the premise that they are lying.

I can see a logic to their approach- offer big $ for a proven winner, and if you strike out, don’t overpay for a less-than-sure-thing. Instead, go cheap. They can’t afford to pay over-market salary for average results. 
 
Of course, a better strategy is to take care of your program and AD so that it’s attractive to proven winners. That takes time, though.

Olin (OB) and his moderator can't keep from criticism of Schloss this morning on TexAgs...

OB ripping Brian Davis for his posts about Schloss -- then admits Brian Davis made him mad in the past, but claims they're friends.  Says Schloss "went to Snook cemetery where the truth goes to die" 😋

Dumbasses should be focused on new Coach and moving on, but they can't help themselves... 😂😂😂

What a coup.  The premier SEC program in Brazos County plucked a sitting P5 head coach to be an assistant coach.  

But it’s wrong to steal other team’s coaches!!!!!!!! They just tried to do that at UVA, Wake, DBU, Tennessee, OU though. Doesn’t count

Why the fuck would anybody step down as HC of a P4 baseball program - after only 2 years - to live in Collie Station and coach aggy pitchers? This guy has gotta have a screw loose. I know it's only Washington, but even Augie sucked it up at Illinois for 3 years.

Now Earley has a babysitter.

Name me one school a $77 million buyout wouldn't fuck over. If there is one, it ain't aggy. 

They just keep saying, "well, it's donor oil money, so $77M is pocket change to big aggy donors."  They really believe this stuff.

 travel with big 10 schedule would suck much ass for one. I’d imagine a quicker ascension to low level sec school head job than coming from a pacific nw school (our new conference mates are not bright)

Not just travel but B1G baseball is just so awful.

Not to mention he won't last more than another year or two at UW. He's cutting bait now to avoid getting fired. This (second in line at a good SEC program) is probably a better position than what he'd secure after being fired.

Good point

Travel for baseball on the West Coast is much more desirable. The B1G baseball schedule is shaping up to be a nightmare and clusterfuck. I guess that held no appeal to Kelly, but whatever. He didn't exactly burn it up at UW.

He was getting fired after this season - he's a bad head coach.

1.  He has been there two years.  First year was good (made regionals, went 1-2), this year was a disaster.  

2.  I believe I saw that his salary as HC was $278K, which is shit in Seattle.  He'll make more than that in B/CS.  

3.  He's on his 3rd athletic director in 2 years, which can't help job security, especially combined with #1.  

4.  The world is loaded with guys who are great assistants and terrible head coaches.  He's another one.  

5.  No one gives a shit about UW baseball.  I went to the Husky forum earlier today to see the reaction, and literally no one had commented on it.

I hope that UW makes a better hire than aggy just to see texags explode with excuses and rationalizations. 

They won't.  They'll try to hire a former Mariner who has never coached college baseball.  Dan Wilson was one of the top candidates last time.  They probably dream of pulling Willie Bloomquist out of ASU.

It's kind of like OU, where softball completely overshadows baseball.

You just mentioned 2 guys that would be a better choice than Earley

It'd be something different, as their past three coaches -which span 31 years- don't appear to have ever been affiliated with the mariners.

Because Big 10 Baseball is going to suck? Just a guess. I mean at least in the PAC 12 Washington could leave the damp and cold Seattle area to play Arizona, ASU, Stanford , USC, UCLA and Utah in a warmer climate. Now they get to go to Ann Arbor and freeze their nuts off in late April.

PAC 12 baseball was already down before the conference shut its doors save for WSU and OSU who remain. The BIG 10 is going to do nothing to improve those baseball programs. Those who jumped to the Big 12 might be in a better position though, but even Arizona State who used to be a regular at Omaha has been MIA

Two of those three were promoted assistants.  The other was Meggs, who came from Indiana State IIRC, and he managed to get fired in spite of taking them to Omaha for the first and only time.  But because no one actually pays attention to UDub baseball, when the job opens, people want a former pro player -- I remember Dan Wilson and Mike Blowers being suggested when they hired Jason.  If Buhner is a candidate, I will lose all hope...

Maybe they can get Valle off of my rangers telecasts.

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.

The simplest answer is usually the correct one when dealing with aggy.
They wanted to brag that they hired a sitting head coach as an assistant. Period.
