Now we talking about wives leaving?

Guys, this is getting weird…

Oh I heard it. Of course he had Zane's. Back. Knew he would.

But all his justification for giving the green light was.

"It's out there"

That's it

He also said Texas announcing the firing on the final day was disrespectful to both head coaches. Which it was. But we don't have to double down being disrespectful to Schloss by asking the questing on the same day.

It's kind of ironic to state that and then basically do the same thing.

What does Texas have that A&M doesn't?

As a job, we are competitive at every level. Texas is a bigger brand and some of the best baseball history. But how meaningful is that to Schloss at his age? Their fan base and institution are fickle.

Pierce probably wanted a new stadium too. All coaches do. If Schloss truly likes our fans he's in for a rude awakening in Austin.

This sip boot licker lays out why he would leave.

For those that don't want to give him the satisfaction of a click, his only reason is because A&M isn't God's chosen school for all people...The University of by God Texas!

Hard truth that many of you will flame about. Texas is a blue chip program in both football and baseball. We are not. We are gaining on that in both categories. Competing in the SEC is giving us the ability to emerge from their shadow. We gained on that this baseball season. Will Schloss leave to become a blue chip coach? I don't know. But what he has done here, maybe will yet do, has helped our climb immensely. Gig 'em.

---

If you think A&M isnt a blue chip program in football or baseball you need to reexamine your sports brain. Blue Chip programs hire national title winning coaches from other schools and provide the resources and infrastructure to win big. We were not always a blue chip in either sport. We are now though and have been for a few years.

---

There are about 8 blue chip schools in each category. We are not one of them in either sport

Sort of get your point about all the bickering. But, the "zoo" is specifically forum 5.

Schloss said his goal is to build a program like Florida.

He also stated death, taxes and gators at the CWS.

Schloss has done the following in just three years at A&M. Final 4 and second overall. He's on a very fast pace to just doing that. Making A&M a program at the level of the Gators.

Maybe in 2012 but not today. There are 3 blue chips in football: Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan. Everyone else is a level down, including tu, OU, Notre Dame and us. I am not talking history, I am talking today. Facilities, recruiting, infrastructure, NIL, and the future.

In baseball, there are no blue chips anymore or to flip it around there are 20 and we definitely one. History and brand power matter the least in college baseball compared to football and basketball while the sport has changed the most in the past 15 years. Gone are the days of poor facilities and no money so high end recruits automatically drifted to LSU and tu.

We are here to stay. This view that we are second tier is big 12 thinking/small thinking.

Bryanisbest said:

---

We can be, we are going to be, we will be, we are on the way, but have not yet arrived.

---

I disagree, we have arrived. We haven't won but we have arrived. Just look at the football roster and recruiting post Jimbo. A second tier program that hasn't arrived doesn't roll out a roster that talented in this day and age with the portal. Same with recruiting, we haven't missed a beat. Clearly people think we have arrived.
Check baseball too.

You are confusing blue chip with blue blood.

We do not have blue blood.

Who cares? In yesterday's college landscape, that meant something. Not in 2024.

We have the #1 NIL program in the NCAA, and that is the name of the game right now. The blue bloods were complacent enough to rest on their laurels when NIL came out. A&M was smart enough to innovate and get out in front of the curve on this.

I compare A&M in 2023 - 2024 to Mack Brown in the 90's. He was the one that was willing to push the limits on what is acceptable for recruiting, and tu experienced the benefits. A&M was ready to do that with NIL on day 1. We read the rules, understood the rules, and toed the line to get the best advantage that we could / can.

And since, in the new NIL world, the most important thing is resources, A&M is going to be a nationally ranked competitor in each and every sport if / until they change the NIL game.

This right here. Too many people are caught up in the history of the sport and how it used to be. The game has changed so much so rapidly that is has made history a non factor.

The only way you could define A&M as a blue-chip in any of the three major sports is if the definition of blue-chip gives absolutely zero weight to results. So if that's your definition, fine. But I'm not sure how much it says other than we are really good and flushing a lot of money down the toilet.

Basically to any normal person with no connection to the school, hearing that A&M is a blue blood in any major program is a laughable thought.

There is zero chance Schloss leaves A&M for Austin.

Any poster who says otherwise is either an under cover sip or was dropped on the head too much as a kid.

---

And you know this how? Him and that tool Del Conte are good friends. There is smoke to this. Lets hope he stays here

---

What a friend to announce the firing and crank up the internet rumor mill on your biggest night.

I had no issue with Schloss speaking in the past tense. The season was over. His mind had already shifted to next year and the last week of the portal.

The Braden comment was about leverage. We all know what he's gonna do but there's no reason to ask what he's going to do.

Schloss has always given deference to TCU. They were a better program than we were at the time. That's a fact. He enjoyed his time there and had built it. He obviously wanted a challenge and a life change when he came here.

My brother's sister is dating Schloss's dentist who operated in college station… he called and set up an appointment for next Monday…. Must mean he is staying! just as credible as all these others with deep deep sources within the Tu program..

I don't think the question was disrespectful. I think if they didn't ask it everyone would be saying "TexAgs is sweeping this under the rug. What are they hiding?"

That said, I also understand Schloss's response. I mean take it in the context of just losing the national championship by one run. When I was walking back to the hotel from the game I was ready to tell anyone who came up to me to "**** off". And I'm sure he was more upset about it than me….

LB12Diamond said:

---

Do you typically say something is disrespectful and then do basically the same thing? Just curious

---

I think it's not that black and white.

I mean it's easy to say your rival is disrespectful for doing something. And since it's your rival you probably have a biased view of what is and isn't truly disrespectful (not saying this wasn't).

But, at the end of the day, as the largest media and journalism company following Texas A&M athletics you have a duty to report the news to your followers. Whether it was disrespectful by Texas is kind of moot at that point, the elephant was in the room.

I will say I was surprised when I found out who asked the question. But TexAgs has a rap on here of not really reporting the news when it's bad, just sunshine pumping. This site, aka TexAgs followers, would have been more angry if they didn't ask.

1 run shy of a national championship in baseball is a good result. We had UT on the ropes, just ran out of outs. And this is the second year in a row in Omaha.

The UT baseball offense this year was arguably the best since LSU 1997, when they were using a now banned bat. A&M had a great baseball team this year, but UT was better than most champions.

You keep getting shots on goal, and one of them is going in.

How about this question: Zane, have you been fired yet?

What for? Doing his job?

This has already been covered on this thread multiple times from the very first responses. That question did not have to be asked last night. It's that simple. Rise above how sips handle things and handle things the right way.

Schloss's opening statement should have given Zane pause on holding that type of question off until Schloss's next interview following such a great season. Do your job correctly, not like the sips act.

---

I agree. I feel like we are in a DO Loop. And yes, there is a time and place for everything, and that wasn't it. The focus should have been on the players or the game itself.

Reed McDonald 92 said:

I usually don't engage in these speculation threads. But I can't resist this time.

While it's true that anything can happen (as in "never" is a strong word), Coach Schloss has never given any indication he had any interest in moving on to another program should the right opportunity present itself. On the contrary, he has consistently said the stars aligned to bring him here, he wanted to build a monster program that repeated success year upon year, he wanted to build a Taj Mahal of baseball, he loves everything about Aggieland, especially the 12th Man, and on and on.

When did Schloss say he desires to be the highest paid coach in the land? I must've missed that interview.
I do recall him constantly saying he wanted to build a stellar program and an amazing baseball stadium.

Where the F on the 40 acres does tu plan to build their Taj Mahal?? No doubt they'll eventually have a nice stadium. But the logistics make it far more difficult and unlikely that it'll happen anytime soon. Yet here in Aggieland, we have far fewer logistical challenges for that. And we also have the commitment to get it done.

I'm convinced a lot of the thin-skinned idiots perpetuating this rumor are simply trolls. The rest are the "I deserve to know answers now" generation. First, no you don't. As difficult as it is to believe, NO YOU DON'T. Second, put on your big boy pants and quit being pu****s. It's embarrassing and maddening. And if you're behaving this way and not a troll, you're negatively impacting the program and you're the reason outsiders point and laugh.

Zane did not have to ask the question to quell your feels. And from the posts since the question, it's apparent some of you will go ahead and believe he's still leaving. Or you're a troll.

---

Damn right.

I believe he's staying too, but if he were to go to tu especially after that comment, then there's the door.

I think this was nothing more than a red herring.

But I expect him to be our coach next year.
