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.
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.

There are about 8 blue chip schools in each category. We are not one of them in either sport
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.Bryanisbest said:VP at Pierce and Pierce said:If you think A&M isnt a blue chip program in football or baseball you need to reexamine your sports brain.

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.Bryanisbest said:

This right here. Too many people are caught up in the history of the sport and how it used to be.

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.

And you know this how? Him and that tool Del Conte are good friends. There is smoke to this. Lets hope he stays here
I didn't say we are a blue blood. I said blue chip. Meaning we are one of the elite programs that can now attract the talent to win, can attract the coaches and staff and ADs to win, and have the resources/facilities/and infrastructure to win. News flash, we didn't have all these ingredients until recently. We either poorly organized or underfunded which led to budget hires and the inability to attract top talent on and off the field.Seasoned Lifeguard said:VP at Pierce and Pierce said:If you think A&M isnt a blue chip program in football or baseball you need to reexamine your sports brain.

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.

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.
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.LB12Diamond said:Agthatbuilds said:Sponge said:
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 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.
