It's not like Taylor Swift has good taste in men
I'll show more of a fight than Coach GLB12Diamond said:
Well it appears Swiftie you are going to be doing those daily waiting posts for at least one more year.
I really hope whatever changes happen our team learns to control the ball and keep possession next year.

Will your dog blame the refs and injuries for lack of success?

Day 1 of asking why isn't Coach G fired yet
I don't think this is very accurate. Phil was once a great coach, but over the past 4-5 years had become a cancer in the program. the team culture died under Phil.Aggie Futbol said:
Phil is the far better coach and the far better recruiter. There is no way Phil simply retired. I speculate that G was told by the AD that a move of this type was required. For all we know, they are already working on the next move to announce G's retirement and the hiring of a new coach.

He had taken over the on the field coaching which by any measurable standard was horrible over the past 2-3 years. A change had to be made. The culture will improve and the standard will return to that of Texas A&M
Soccer1 said:Yep. Unfortunately G is going to be back next year. Look on the bright side, all those injured players (goal scorers) G talked about will be back. Buy your confetti in bulk for next season.Rastin said:
I'm so sorry but G will not get fired. Just not with his contract up next year and how amazing the team is going to be…lol.
Can someone translate this please?LB12Diamond said:
Wait
Some think we are making a change at head coach after how the handling of the assistance coach was done this past week. That makes no sense at all. If they were making a complete change that would have been the only announcement that ever came out.
The way this is being handled looks just like what a school would be doing for the only coach they have ever had. if everything was still quiet than I think a change might take place this year. Bot not now.
It's truly a comedy at this point. Much of this is on the coaching staff (as we can all see) having to coach to the talent level on the field. Unfortunately for Texas A&M, the current staff has poisoned the lure of playing for A&M. At the end of the day, talent wins. We don't have equitable talent that's comparable to the top 5/10 programs. This is because of...reasons...that our AD refuses to acknowledge and address.Observer1 said:
Sadly, this is an accurate assessment. The players that Phil (and G, but mostly Phil) wanted to promote were selected before the team even had a first practice in August. They had the players preselected based on who looked better for a sound bite. Then Phil made sure there was a clear divide within the team.
The coaches basically treated this team like that stupid chicken commercial. In this case, their plan was throwing minutes (as opposed to antibiotics) at them. Starters not performing, they just need more minutes. Non-starters playing really well at practice? Then let's make sure they don't play too much and make people question why they aren't getting more playing time. No one should assume that just because players were not playing last year, they aren't talented players. No one thought too much about Hayes, Boeckman, or Garsik leaving and Phil had basically relegated them too.
This is very sad to read; and it's been clear for 5 or more seasons that this is the issue. Many of us in the small soccer community have realized that this is what is going on for many many years now.jpendico said:
Hi Guys-
Reading this forum has been super entertaining. It is nice to have a group that takes such a keen interest in the success of these amazing young women. I know it has been a frustrating team to follow over the last few years and I want to thank you guys for being mostly constructive (despite your justifiable frustrations with the team's performance). This will be my first and last post on this site.
Before I go, I would like to ask you to close your eyes and visualize the 4-5 best players on the current roster with remaining eligibility. Imagine, for a moment, the perennial starters, the 90-minute players, the small handful of remaining players that have been recognized by the SEC over the course of their careers at A&M. Have you made your list? Ok, you can open your eyes.
THIS MONDAY, EVERY PLAYER ON YOUR LIST WILL BE IN THE PORTAL.
How many times have you seen an assistant coach's "retirement" cause every healthy remaining notable player to leave a program? I'm sure you can appreciate how difficult it is to become a consistently starting, 90-minute playing, scholarship athlete on a Division 1, Power 5 Conference, SEC team that charters private planes to and from all of their away games. My point is, they are voluntarily walking away from a fairytale. If you guys are smart (and I sense you are) the fact that this particular set of girls are leaving should tell you everything you need to know. I pray this program returns to greatness one day and I pray that all of you who are fans of the team can hang in there until it does.
If I could ask for one more thing; when and if you are able, say a short prayer for the girls that have found the courage to leave, and say a prayer for the ones that are staying too. Right now, your beloved institution is trapped in a dysfunctional relationship that they don't have the courage to leave. Be that as it may, TAMU is too strong (and too smart) to allow this to persist much longer. Keep the faith, it's part of y'all's charm!
Thank you again and Godspeed......
