I agree with you. I think the money for the buyout is the issue. TA has talked about money issues with the coming of profit sharing in July.

The ghost of Jimbo haunts us.

Not paying the buyout in non-revenue sports was going on before Jimbo's firing - Childress, Evans, & Blair. You'd need someone to foot the bill for getting rid of G.

G has too big of an ego to step aside.

TA is not responsible for giving G the extension and shouldn't be on the hook to buy out a bad contract. He also was not involved with the Jimbo mess that created our financial situation. So, stop whining about it. It is what it is. We will have to suffer through another bad season.

But, I will still be there next year rooting for whoever dons the Maroon and White. And I know you will be too.

This! The selfishness is what irks me the most. The man single handily built a soccer program here from the bottom up with much success. Why watch the empire you built crumble into ashes and not only stray far from elite, but further from mediocrity. Why sink this even further, why create more angst among your fan base and loyal supporters. If you care about this program, you should always do what's best for the program, even if that means stepping away. Don't let your stubbornness and pride sacrifice all you've done for this program.

But we should have seen this coming, we all hear how cocky and arrogant he is every August. He will never take any accountability for a loss, he'll blame the girls or blame the refs. He should've have stepped away already, but he's too prideful for that and the Texas A&M Soccer program will pay the price. It's the harsh reality.

How many will give up their season tickets though? I know our group is pondering that.

Attendance is down, who would want to give a dime to NIL or anything else to a program that's burned to the ground.

The budget the AD has, this buyout is a rounding error. It tells me he doesn't give a **** about non rev sports. So if the AD doesn't care, why should anyone else

Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, there is this big event, perhaps the biggest single one time event ever in college athletics finance called House vs NCAA. Before anything like Jimbo's buyout, our AD has a fully new expense line item in his budget of ~$20M annually due to this.

But if someone wants to step up and be the benefactor for a sport (soccer or any other) that loses money and has very little revenue associated with it, then I'm sure that person could have significant influence over said program's hirings and firings..

Or Perhaps we stop spending on unnecessary facilities for programs that aren't winning up to expectations and use the money instead for a coach that gets us to expectation (then build facilities)

That's great. Cut capex (not in the P&L) for projects already committed and funded by a different entity (12th Man Foundation) and it will somehow be treated as annual revenue or a reduction in expense into perpetuity by the Athletic Department.

Someone please let Trev know.

As an aside, you can have less of a commitment to facilities in the future as a fundraising prerogative by the 12th Man Foundation, but that is future tense stuff. And the NIL door is already open at Texas Aggies United (the official NIL Partner of Texas A&M Athletics) and you can even receive priority points with the 12th Man Foundation. So, fund away the $20M annual deficit and we will all be good to go.

Yes, it's true. The back line and 2 in the midfield. Maybe a change in personnel will eventually be good. That core group couldn't get things done, so maybe a shake up will end up being ok. The captain will be a really tough one to replace. The anchor and leader.
Yes, it is upsetting, but at the same time, the results weren't there. Even with bad coaching, a talented group can still get results.

I mean I imagined some would leave, but not that many! But those girls deserve better and they deserve to fight for something more well into November, not fighting for .500 halfway through October

And aside from immediate playing time… what transfer portal players and future recruits see this dysfunctional chaotic mess and are going to want to come play here

Literally zero quality players are gonna join a team where basically everyone left and it isn't due to a HC change…

You know, the personal behind the scene beat down has spoken. Seven players discussed with their family and friends about the situation and decided to up route their whole life and leave Texas A&M without giving everything they had, but still having no hope for a future. The culture and leadership has devastating issues.

I have been planning a trip to Brenham//College Station for my daughter's team. We're one of the top u17/18 teams in Canada.

This mess is making me look bad.

While appreciating all Coach G has done for the program but based on the results of the recent years, I'm flabbergasted that he is still coach of the program at this moment.

Boy the program will be in great shape this time next year when what little talent is left hits the portal and G rides off in the sunset after decimating the program.

Lot to look forward to. Never mind not stopping the bleeding now.

I'm not sure of the contractual language but he should be reassigned if it's a buyout issue…

The best thing about the transfer portal is that the new coach in 2026 will be able to raid it and build a brand new team immediately. Unless G waits until March 2026 like reported and stalls us hiring the new coach and takes time from the new coach raiding the portal.

9 L's for a losing season qualifies for a brick wall?

Against Arkansas she was… she only allowed more than 1 goal 5 times. And never more than 2 aside from her first start. Not saying she was the greatest goalie ever, but she stepped up in a lot of games and masked our teams deficiencies. We turn the ball over at an awful rate. A weaker goalie and we lose many more games lol.

However, if the rumors are true and we lose Calzada, Matula, and Armenta to the portal, after losing Macy Matula and Olivia Fetzer to graduation. Fuller will be playing with an entire new backline, which could be a disaster…

Seeing the number of players entering the portal only reinforces the fact that Trev has made a bad decision here. We can only hope he changes his mind once realizing things are much worse than he thought inside the program. He hasn't managed this situation well at all and I'm really disappointed he doesn't care enough to allow things to implode and set up a disastrous situation for next season. How is that fair to the players who decide to return? How is this benefitting the student athlete experience at A&M that the administration always talks about?

The program is in a complete free fall… yet they just want us to sit idly by and pretend G is still the right man for the job. It's absolutely embarrassing. They must think we're idiots or something.
