Yes, Woodward likes to get established coaches. Vitello's an up and comer that's on the verge of becoming a known commodity.

He is retiring.
"Real happiness comes not from getting what we desire; but celebrating what we have."
I really have no idea who Bjork is thinking about but I am not sold on Vitello.
Get Schloss AND name Saarloos as Associate/Assistant Head Coach. That way you can pay BIG bucks to where it would be hard to poach Saarloos.
I know NOTHING!!!!
Saarloos is likely going to be the new TCU head coach.Sgt. Schultz said:

I REALLY like your idea of that because it provides a long term continuation hopefully.
Listening to Kendall Rogers today he made it sound like we were getting either Schloss or Vitello.
And he also talked about the idiocy of a "life time" contract. What happens if Tadlock is 72, losing, and does not want to retire?
You are hosed.

All in on Vitello. LSU is looking to spend 1.6 to 1.9, which is wild.
I hope Bjork can satisfy the expectations he currently is letting grow. I'm excited to hear the announcement.
Why? What is rhe right number???Capt. America said:

If we get Vitello we go from a guy who was a pitching coach to a guy who was a hitting coach. It will be interesting to see how that affects the roster going forward.
how bout Vitello to the good guys, Schloss to lsu, and saarloos to Tennessee?

He is not letting expectations grow, he isn't responsible for nor has to answer to wild-a$$ internet conjecture for a coaching hire.... he also will not be hiring the next HC of any sport totally himself completely in a vacuum, it just doesn't work that way.

But he will take all the blame if it's a bust hire.

Tadlock's "lifetime" contract is in reality a multi year rolling contract meaning Tech can at some point choose to not renew it and make their way out of it.
It'll hurt to get out of if they decline to roll it over too late, because they'll probably have to make that call a few years ahead of his departure, late but it's not as big a deal (and potential problem) as the name makes it sound.
A rolling seven-year contract will be expensive no matter what.TXAggie2011 said:dermdoc said:

Still smacks of something Tech has to do. And not us or LSU.

Agreed, that's probably right
KU signed Bill Self to a "lifetime contract" in April and obviously that's a top job; so maybe it's just the next step in the crazy college athletics arms race.
To reiterate, I believe it'll hurt to get out of if things go south for Tech. But obviously Tech wasn't going to be in any mood to lose Tadlock.
Maybe they can pocket some of the revenue he'll bring them and put it in a buyout account.

Which is why I don't want Schloss. Sarloos is a big piece of this TCU puzzle. A package deal?? Maybe...AggieFrog said:ftworthag02 said:
why would they go to lsu? change of scenery? I would think it wouldn't be a pay raise. Sullivan has a brand new stadium. Schloss could definitely use a new stadium.
I don't see TCU replacing Lupton anytime soon. It's a pretty good stadium as it is. I also don't think TCU will be heartbroken if Schloss leaves so long as Saarloos is the next coach.
Saarloos will probably be the next coach at TCU. He's not coming here as an assistant.TAMU1990 said:Which is why I don't want Schloss. Sarloos is a big piece of this TCU puzzle. A package deal?? Maybe...AggieFrog said:ftworthag02 said:

I think there are 3 true outcomes for Sarloos in 2021:
- status quo (least likely it would appear)
- TCU or other NCAA head coach
- MLB pitching coach
I'm not really worried about Schloss being able to hire good assistants. He hired both Vitello and Saarloos.TAMU1990 said:Which is why I don't want Schloss. Sarloos is a big piece of this TCU puzzle. A package deal?? Maybe...AggieFrog said:ftworthag02 said:

I agree with that. The one thing that won't happen is us money whipping him to continue being an assistant to Schloss. Some folks just have trouble grasping this reality.rdunham98 said:twk said:Saarloos will probably be the next coach at TCU.

in complete and violent agreement
Fisher's contract will morph into one of those likely when he makes the CFP semis. But i doubt tgat will be an issue if it happens.
I think you should consider how getting this hire wrong affects his political capital. He has to hire big or it will be very poorly received.
The idea I don't know how this works suggests Groff or Crow can sit there and do nothing still. Nope.

There are numerous factors thzt make a job attractive. Lots of money is a big incentive but hardly the only one.

Watched Manieri's press conference this afternoon. I have to say that he is a very classy man and a heck of a coach. Was not aware that he has endured some pretty significant health issues with his spine. I hope that life after coaching baseball is a good and full one because he deserves it. Having said that, he did mention his great assistants that he has had in the past, especially when LSU won the National Championship. Cliff Godwin's name was one of those names. Just kind of got the idea that he would be behind Woodward giving Godwin a hard look. Anyway, I enjoyed.hearing him talk about his coaching career, his dad, and his philosophy on life. He is a good man, and it's always hard to say good-bye to good men that are also good coaches. This world needs both.
Gig'em, Ole Army Class of '70
Schloss is so much more proven than guys like Vitello. Its like the fascination is based upon the idea that he might or could become this once in a lifetime, awesome coach. But look at their resumes. Schloss is proven. Look what he's done and who is to say he doesn't have this ability to become an even higher profile coach. I want someone proven. I want Schloss. Wanting Vitello is somehow banking on the fact that he's going to turn into a great coach. Schloss already is a great coach and has the same potential for a lot of really good years in front of him.

I watched the whole thing and left feeling the same way but you said it better than I could.
He is not letting expectations grow, he is doing his job.
I don't share the Schloosnagel love. I would rather go with Vitellio or Bakich. Maybe Jarrett too.
I see Schloosnagel as a lame duck who is all about himself and he would gladly take a long term big dollar deal from A&M.
That is what I hear, but I also hear he is a good recruiter. Nonetheless don't want him.

I'm biased, but I definitely like Schloss as a human more than Vitello.
I understand everyone has their own perspective. If I was asked to decide just on personality and good dudeness I would go with Bakich.

I am starting to hear a lot of good things about Todd Whitting
I know some would scoff at the idea of him, but I hear he is under strong consideration
He has not been happy with UH and then sending all the resources to football and then to basketball while leaving his program out to dry
He also hates Tillman (who doesn't) and does not like that some team meals on the road have to be at his chain restaurants
They have been pushing him to act like a clown with RedBull lately too in order to try and up the chances to get them as a major sponsor and he thinks it is a crap product and wants to win on the field not act like a drunken amped up buffoon
The price is right for him too he is willing to come cheap and devote a lot of what would be his pay to assistants and recruiting
Keep this name in mind there are a few other surprises as well there are a lot of really good coaches in bad situations that are being vetted thoroughly
What a waste of time, registering to post something completely off the wall. I guess folks have time on their hands.
