I'm guessing it is Vitello.

CDC probably said winner gets the job...

if we actually hire the winner of this game it will be glorious.

[TejasPedro 1858]

Schloss retires after the game. Vit takes the Texas job. Schloss takes an analyst job on Vits staff.

Aggies line up to jump from the top of Kyle Field.

I think you're right, but Schloss seems better. Maybe Vitello is better if he wins the CWS over Schloss...

[Chuckie Finster 22694]

Oh no.

Quote

Pierce had two years remaining on his contract after Del Conte gave him an extension in 2021. His salary was $1.2 million a year. An ugly incident with one of his pitchers after Texas’ early exit from the Big 12 Tournament in Arlington led to Pierce’s visit before the school’s Human Resources department and likely sealed his fate.

 

It was uncertain if Texas planned to fire him for cause over that altercation. He was entitled to 70% of his existing contract so Texas would be obligated to pay him about $1.68 million.

 

[ClubWhatever 12144]

The announcement right now likely means he has someone else lined up whose team is not playing.

vitello/schloss v the field - who ya got?

[jdhorn92 1549]

I must have missed it, what was the "ugly incident" between Pierce and one of our pitchers?

[Tex Long 4400]

Turns out to be either one of the two still playing, and the entire SEC is going to shit their pants.

You may be right, but why wasn't it announced days or weeks ago then? Could also be that they wanted to give Pierce a chance to address the team, and also be able to announce the hire at, I don't know, around 9pm this evening? Waiting until today provides the minimum amount of distraction for those still playing. So if it is one of them, it's honoring the request of said new coach.

Had to go in front of HR after an altercation with a student athlete? Like wtf.

Let’s do this pro rassling style.   Schloss wins it all, takes off his jersey on the field to reveal an nwo er I mean Texas jersey

Educate me here.  In olden days, you couldn't poach somebody's head coach without extending the courtesy of asking permission to talk to them through the AD, and those discussions usually found the light of day.  Now I know that the Beard deal was done at the McD's in Plainview or wherever and don't remember the details.  Assuming it's Schloss, Texas and aggy have to play in the same sandbox to some extent in regards to the Legislature, etc.  Do any of these things matter any more?

Like a gentleman's agreement? There is no legal requirement written into anything and there is no league governance for that. 

This is the faux amateur college athletics industry. Not the professional governed by real rules and league commission.
