p.s it doesnt take 20 something yrs to build something, four or five yrs max for a proven coach. all i know is alot more intrest in soc as far as big money ags are getting a little fed up with out return on the money

We just went 8-2 in a SEC only schedule and won a share of the conference title with a bunch of freshmen. And you want to look for a new coach? oldfart79 needs some Beano

my take is to get some one new it shouldnt take twenty something yrs to win or at least play for one naty. my opinon is give gary his gold watch and tell him thanks. im sure with what we have invested i n soc we can get a very good and hungry coach to make there bones. alot of good players have gone thur here and dont have much to show for it.

I'd ask you again if you think it's just that easy, then why do you see our other programs without a national championship? The difference between them and soccer though is the sustained level of success we've had. We're scratching to string together back-to-back tournament appearances in men's basketball, while we have 25 consecutive appearances in soccer.

Although, your plan seems simplistic, you have some gaps in your knowledge of the sport and program. For instance, Gary coaches women's basketball, not the soccer team. That seems like a pretty big distinction for someone that is "drinking coffee with the big wigs."

how many coaches have we had in other sports, we dont give those coaches twenty yrs to build something. why should we give soc coach that much time. im tell ya time is running out with him and he must produce fast not four yrs not three.

Fitting, you're full of more **** than a Christmas goose

We've had this discussion over the years and I don't believe for one second that there are big donors sitting around talking about putting pressure on the AD to replace Coach G. This is women's soccer, not football, basketball, or baseball. I've had my issues with Coach G over the years in underachieving in some seasons where we could have won it all (2007), but to CDub's point, the truth is we really haven't had the consistent level of talent to compete for a title with the likes of UNC, Stanford, UCLA, or even Florida State.

In a minor sport like women's soccer, no AD in the country would fire a coach who makes the NCAA tourney every year and advances to the 2nd Round/Sweet 16 consistently. Coach G has done a very good job at A&M whether you like him or not. And unless the program collapses with multiple losing seasons in a row, he will choose when he leaves A&M. If the big donors really want to help take the program to the next level, let's figure out a way to upgrade our facilities (yes we are behind now) and make the program more attractive to those elite level prospects. Recruiting is the key and we do need to improve there if the goal is to win a title. There is a big difference between a top 10-15 class and a top 5 class. I like what Coach G did in the offseason to change tactics to make us better in the midfield, and it resulted in a conference title.

Finally, who are you going to bring in if you replace him? We are not getting Dorrance and there are only a handful of coaches that would even be considered an upgrade and those coaches are entrenched and not coming to A&M barring breaking the bank for a minor sport, which will never happen. Things could be much worse if you just made a change to make a change and the program may never recover.

-Under his tutelage, Texas A&M is one of only four teams to play in every NCAA Tournament the last 25 seasons
-Guerrieri has led the Maroon & White to 15 Sweet Sixteens, six Elite Eights and the 2014 NCAA Women's College Cup
-Coach G's Aggies have consistently been ranked in the national top 25 over the past 20+ seasons while attracting some of the top soccer players in the world to College Station
-Don't know the exact stat, but probably more National Team Players and Pro's produced by A&M in the past 5 years than ever before
-Guerreri ranks fourth all-time among NCAA Division I coaches with 472 Wins
-Eighth all-time with a .746 winning percentage
-He has guided Texas A&M to nine conference regular-season titles and eight conference tournament crowns
-He is a four-time conference coach of the year and five-time NSCAA Central Region Coach of the Year
-Guerrieri and North Carolina's Anson Dorrance are the only two coaches to lead a team to 25 consecutive NCAA Championship tournaments
-With Guerrieri at the helm, Texas A&M has established one of the greatest college soccer atmospheres in the country. The Aggies ranked in the top three in home attendance from 2002-19, including the nation's top attendance in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2018
-Furthermore, Guerrieri's teams have won 86 percent of their home matches since the Aggie Soccer Stadium opened in 1994
-He also helped Ellis Field secure College Cup hosting bids on three occasions
-Team GPA is normally one of the highest year in and year out, at A&M and Nationally
-Gets a few 1,000 kids and Families on campus for Aggie Soccer Camps every Summer
-As involved, or more involved, in Community outreach than almost any other other Aggie Coach, current or former
-Only (10) Women's Soccer Teams have won a NCAA Title in last (39) years, (21) of those by UNC
-(10) Teams have won in College Football in last (20) years, for another sample-size/snap shot

Sure, I'd love a Natty too, but for a non-revenue sport, especially with the damage COVID will have on University Athletic and overall budgets, winning a National Championship ranks somewhere father down the list than you may think!

Also worth noting, Coach G has arguably the best Associate Coach and Assistant Coach in Phil and Lori Stephenson respectively, so if you're replacing G, your likely passing on the entire Staff, and rolling the dice on an entirely new one...

Just my two pennies!
