the answer will be, "I don't have a favorite" or something like that.aginlakeway said:TAM85 said:You know he is 0 for 5 in his opportunities to win a championship.powerbelly said:A two-season downturn after 4 straight CWS appearances.

So who is your first choice? Someone I assume who has won a title?
I just saw that too. Gotta love Wikipedia!inch05 said:
did someone update wikipedia to show he was our coach in 2022?

He was made a lot of promises by Del Conte that the current AD has not followed through on. He also was apparently really unhappy with how TCU handled attendance during covid.hunter2012 said:Quote:
I think Schloss has burned some bridges at TCU but being vocal about his displeasure in how the administration handled seating at Lupton may have been what sealed the deal.
What's the story here?
Vitello has never been to the CWS. I find it astonishing people would want him over Schloss.powerbelly said:And?TAM85 said:You know he is 0 for 5 in his opportunities to win a championship.powerbelly said:A two-season downturn after 4 straight CWS appearances.

He is more accomplished than anyone else on the list fans have been throwing around.
He has been closer to a championship than we have ever been and we have been at it continually since 1904. He made the semi-finals every trip to the CWS except for 2014.

Vitello has been to and coached in the CWS with Van Horn. You can look it up, but I think Schloss was only there once at 42.agforlife97 said:Vitello has never been to the CWS.

I get it. If you think Vitello is going to be the next big thing then get him now. I think he is really good and has a great career ahead of him.agforlife97 said:Vitello has never been to the CWS.

Great post.TAM85 said:
My choices and the reasons are posted on the other coaching threads. For the last month my preferences have been Vitello, Bakich and Jarrett- in that order. I would have liked to have signed Tadlock, but didn't think we could get him to leave Lubbock.
I have talked with or received information on guys that have coached with, played for, been a parent of a player or is an AD in the coach's conference for Bakich, Jarrett and Schloss. I don't think I know anyone connected to Vitello other than Van Horn, but I am not going to contact Dave ask about that.
If we end up hiring Schloss, I hope I can look back three or four years from now and say, "man, I was wrong". If it does not work out with Schloss I don't want to hear the guys pushing him hide behind the "he has been to the CWS 5 times" mantra.
I disagree. Baseball always could use extra money to take pressure off AD overall.hunter2012 said:
Is TCU still agimpjunior member of the Big 12 or are they still getting a smaller slice? I'd be curious how they're doing financially.
I'd image that Schloss wouldn't need to raise money at the start of each season at A&M. The fundraising is built in already with TMF. Seriously just win and keep us in the top 10 and the money/support will be there(and no more half capacity).
how? The Dugout club gets bigger each year. Now they moved it to Rec center because levy was charging so much.powerbelly said:I disagree. Baseball always could use extra money to take pressure off AD overall.hunter2012 said:

For example, I think the Dugout Club could be better run and bring in more money for baseball.
To start with, maybe have a webpage with dugout club details. If you type it into google you get a pdf from 2019BQ_90 said:how? The Dugout club gets bigger each year.

but not sure how they can make it bigger. And that money is more to handle stuff the AD can't really pay for.
well the Dugout club mostly pays for the charity work the team does and things around the locker room that the AD won't or normally can't pay for. Also I think the coaches like having control over those funds, where if it's larger then the AD most likely would control it.powerbelly said:To start with, maybe have a webpage with dugout club details.

When I say take pressure off the AD I mean paying for things so that you aren't asking for more money when possible.

If the choice is Schloss then we did a Sumlin/Fran job to the baseball program.

Vitello is younger and has taken Tennessee from being a complete non-entity to a legit national power in the toughest college baseball conference in the country in 4 seasons.
I'm not saying I'd prefer him to Schlossnagle or not but it's a reasonable take.
Well now. That aged well.ftworthag02 said:
Y'all are smoking crack if you think schloss would come to A&M. He's got it too good at tcu, similar to GP.
1. Top 5 contract in the country.
2. If he needs improvements, he gets it.
3. Lives just down the street from Lupton
4. His pitching coach is one of the top assistants in the country and he recruits the entire country
5. Has support from his previous players like Matt Carpenter and Jake Arrieta that come back every year for the alumni game
6. No pressure from tcu athletic department or alumni.
