He is being interviewed for the head coach position? He has never been the head coach before and we are good with this? I'm genuinely curious what you guys have to say. TIA
TN was Vitello's first HC gig. Just sayin.

An endorsement from one of my favorite former players…
His passion for Aggieland & the 12th Man is unmatched (just ask @OlsenSection203 ). He embodies our spirit and values. His proven track record & dedication make him the perfect choice to lead us back to the championship series & win it.

Well, he likely isn't going to be coaching there now…..interviewing here gonna mean he's the bad guy there. As for going along because he'd be out of a job otherwise, with as well regarded as he is, he could easily have found a new job.
And wouldn't be surprised if they say it was all his doing with the recruiting violations and we get stuck with sanctions or something. That's how tu operates.

Agreed and two of them looked like they had to don shirts retrieved from the tu "lost and found".AggiePetro07 said:

Those guys didn't look like they took their dream job. It looks like they just left it aboard the HMS Satan.
Just my opinion.
Question 1: Is he willing to show us where the bodies are?
Question 2: will you show us receipts?
Question 3: what statement are you willing to make?

Mike Earley is one of the best in the game and no one can tell me otherwise. @earleybaseball https://t.co/VvGpeflny2

I’ve been an Aggie my entire life. It was a dream of mine to play baseball for Texas A&M. One the best parts of playing at A&M was being coached by @earleybaseball. I 1000% support Mike Earley being the head coach. This is a must hire NOW! https://t.co/WuyXFJM93a

@TrevAlberts , I have known Micheal Earley for 5 years. The absolute best choice for the job. Track record speaks for itself, and I can promise you he will be loyal to Aggieland and the 12th man.

Proven winner. Every player he has ever coached will say the same. https://t.co/Qc3uVmvU1M
Aggies know what to do here… 🐐 @earleybaseball https://t.co/ACw0WZd8ge

Very few people in my life have made an impact on me like @earleybaseball has. He perfectly embodies what it looks like to lead the Texas A&M program to its bright future. It’s the right thing to do👍🏼 https://t.co/ZH0b6gGc2i

@earleybaseball been here for both of the best seasons in A&M history. He knows what the program needs to be successful. He knows these players, and having played for him, I know that they will rally behind him and be ready to go to war with him. @TrevAlberts @AggieBaseball https://t.co/u5Vud1Cg9b

If Early is not, at least, on our staff? we are stupid. No one knows better than the players what a person is like. If they all love home this icy, and he loves A&M this much, give him a chance. I want an Aggie that wants to be here every bit as much as I want a"splash hire". We get the players back and we are likely in Omaha again, with a guy that would run through walls for. Ask UT how the Vitello hire is going.
So let me get this straight, when we hire assistant coaches wouldn't they have independent contracts from the head coach? So if the HC bails like the slimeball did, Early would still be employed by A&M, right? He didn't have to go to Austin immediately. So I don't buy this, he has a young family BS. He could have stuck around and let things play out, put feelers out just in case the new coach didn't want to keep him, but I would assume there would be a buyout or severance due him if that was the case. Or maybe I'm wrong and these assistants have contracts based on the head coaches employment. In which case that would be the ****tiest situation ever.

We've seen this script already.
LDRSHIP - Obviously something missing at A&M with JS as the HC.
If Texas were to throw a stink and wanted an investigation, then the results would also be damning of Texas and JS. Both are suffering from credibility issues, and JS was the captain of the sip/program. Why didn't he maintain control? Will upcoming coaches want to work with JS if he is known to throw people to the fish?
I would love Earley. A&M needs that guy who's been the head coach for 20+ seasons at the helm. You have to start young for that to happen. Love Pop in San Antonio, Gundy at Okie State, etc. keeps this team the most in tact as possible, sheds a negative light to Schloss, and gives us a young HC that can build something special. Growing pains are to be expected but whatever. A&M has to get past this "money whip" a well known coach stuff in all sports
They've talked to the players, and they like Earley and wanted him back. They know him, they believe in him, and they apparently trust him.dcg4403 said:
Why would we want ANY of them back? Really?
Do any Aggies learn from past mistakes? Seriously??
This is crazy. No way in hell they didnt know. And no way in hell if they were clueless that we want them back.
Did Schloss hold a gun to his head? He easily could have stayed or waited. Guy would have been hired across most any SEC team and beyond.
His committment to Aggieland is NOT greater than his commitment to the Snake. F him for that reason.
Lets get a fresh start with no association to Schloss in ANY way.
He and Cain didn't just look like hostages in that photo; they looked like they were standing in front of a firing squad.
Clearly, they didn't WANT to leave, but they have families to feed and bills to pay just like you do, and they weren't guaranteed anything if they stayed here and just hung out, waiting for a payday that might not come.
Just think of them as currently being 'in the portal,' waiting for someone (A&M) to rescue them from the evil Voldemort's 'Death Eaters.'
With as much support as he's got, probably should hire him…. Since there is no guarantee anyone will work out, he's got as good a shot as every one else to keep us where we are at and keep the momentum.
The problem is new coaches want to their own guy. Not retaining Earley would be stupid but you never know. He had a guaranteed raise offer at his new job offer and an unstable situation at his existing position.MR Gadsden said:

he hasn't updated his Instagram or Twitter yet. Even though he's already on the tu site.
Hire him and get him here asap until we have a HCtrouble said:
Associate HC, I believe
I know! I've been looking.
I won't lie. I really really really like him. He's always been nice and personable. His family loves it here. He's just a good dude.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Violation investigations demanded by tu? You think tu wants to out themselves? Maybe there's an angle here that I am missing, why are you thinking tu would demand investigations?92_Ag said:If A&M does re-hire him, expect those "violation investigations" to be demanded by tu shortly thereafter.trouble said:

Ok, I'm all in
GO GET EARLEY TREV

Cain is the only one that knew apparently

I don't know what the future holds. But I'll tell you what, this sounds like the right move.
If the former and current players are unanimously saying this…it seems like he was the real heart and soul of the staff. Schloss was just the CEO….
So if we liked the level of our recent success…

Earley is perfect. Can we do the same thing we did with Stoops to force administration to hire him?
Any new coach who doesn't want our roster to be retained is nuts. This happens with Earley.themissinglink said:The problem is new coaches want to their own guy.

I understand but what I'm saying is he wouldn't just automatically be unemployed, unless for whatever reason his contract was written that way. I'm saying he had options.
The way this whole thing went down, he might not have had time to realize that he had options.
Its a ****ty situation to be put in, for sure.
Just have one question. Is he still employed by Texas? If so that will be a no for me dawg.
He has not signed a contract
Some kind of Earley, Cain, Pennington, Barash combo?
trouble said:

No NDA no contract. Does he have access to the goods to burn sip to the ground? Like maybe texts recruits and current players could provide? Hmmmmmmmm
You do not have a soul. You are a soul that has a body.
Quite the references, let's do it!

I expect if they had any intent on following through on the threat tying the "recruiting violations" around Earley's neck, they'd attempt to do so after he's head coach.Farmer @ Johnsongrass, TX said:Violation investigations demanded by tu?

I don't know. I would assume he has something.
I'm in! Bring him back. No brainer.
Now that would be a smart hire. Agree with others. The players seem to be supportive.

The problem I would have bringing any of them back as an assistant is it would feel like a sham way to get a raise. They aren't coming back for what they were making. They probably deserve a raise but they didn't bother to stick around to see what we would offer…just jumped in the clown car and took off with slosh.
I would not mind Early coming back at an elevated position.
You don't seem to understand how it works with asst coaches when the head coach leaves. They don't have the option to "stick around."
